C/D would mean a WOMAN's WIDE shoe. This would be narrow for a men's shoe.

Are these boots waterproof, Electric Hazard rated and Puncture resistant?

They sure are water proof no doubt about that  as for puncture resistant they can hold there own as well I've stepped on nails glass and a couple of broken pipes and I've yet to feel anything...one of my Co-Workers even dropped a 25Ib. block of cement and my foot survived without a scratch.

Are these waterproof?

So far they have kept me dry in rain and 2" or less water. I haven't submerged them so unsure just how waterproof they are.

Not waterproof. Disappointed and dissatisfied.

The boots fit fine however the heels are killing me after 8-10 hors of wearing. I was wearing boots from another company for the last year and didn’t have this issue. I have contacted Caterpillar on another platform to ask them about the first time maintenance and about making sure they are waterproof and the reply basically was “They are not waterproof”. Expensive boots and yeah I have heard great things about Caterpillar in the past and I was excited to get my first pair but I was expecting more for the price I have paid and I am dissatisfied and disappointed. Not the worst boots I’ve ever had but faaar from the best ones too.

Having to wear steel toe boots for my job, I have gone through several pairs looking for a pair of boots that look good, wear well and of course keep my feet safe. These CAT boots are by far the best I have ever owned and I would highly recommend.
