About Tony Bleak
Field-tested boot advice from a small independent team.

Tony Bleak is the editorial voice behind The Foot Facts — a project built to test, compare, and simplify the world of work boots. Every article blends real-world usage notes, technical fit analysis, and field-tested comfort feedback from the trades.
This hand-drawn illustration represents our reviewer persona — a stand-in for the crew behind our hands-on reviews. We value honesty, consistency, and independent testing more than marketing gloss.
Our aim is simple: if a boot claims to be “comfortable,” “shock-absorbing,” or “EH-rated,” we check what that actually means for your feet, shift after shift.
