Wow, thanks for the advice. Those look really good. I will look into them.
How is it on the ice and packed in snow? Would like something with decent traction. I remember the Love's in Fargo ND not being bothered to clear out their packed snow in their parking lot one winter lol.
What boots do you wear while working?

I like Ariat. I’ve had a pair of these for 3.5 years and they’re still going strong.

I've had decent luck with brahma. They're not exactly top of the line but for around 40 bucks I get waterproof steel-toe boots that last through the winter. I've tried more expensive brands but I didn't notice enough of an improvement to justify spending 3 or 4 times as much money. They also have steel-toe low tops for around 30 dollars for the warmer seasons.

I have two pair of safety toe shoes. First ones are Red Wing boots. Don't know the product number as I bought them in 2005 before I went to Iraq to drive. Had them resoles once and still are in good shape. Look something like this.
Second pair I bought because wearing the heavier boots all day was making this old man's legs tired. A lot easier climbing in and out of the truck and going up the ladders of the tank trailers too. Red Wing # 6712.

Of your choices, I prefer the look of the Black soles.

Chains for them when its icy
Adidas sambas for securement most places. Laced and ready to slip on
Slip on sandals for everything else and as much as i can get away with. Ive thrown chains straps and tarps for years down south wearing em. I particularly prefer them for driving, boots tend to mask things when you drive, dont get enough feel through them, makes it harder to tell what the engine/brakes are doing or want to do.
If youre not surefooted, i would recommend just going the easy route and wearing boots all the time but so far so good, no foot related injuries doing it this way
CorsairFanboy Thanks this. -
I never wore boots driving. I had rubber boots for winter and wet weather AND I had a pair of steeltoes for those times when required. Honestly, after I got out of the Air Force I stopped wearing boots.

I have a pair of high dollar boots and a cheap Walmart pair for the summer/dirty places
