Comfy boots

Good evening

I am a landscape construction foreman, and i encounter all types of situations (rain, snow, heat, and so forth) almost same stuff truckers go through. I use a pair of mid heigth Catepillar steel toe work boots, they wear really nice, and hold up to most anything thrown at them. Can be had for about 100.00- you could also go the Red Wing way and spend close to 200-250.00 steel toes are ok for when out of the truck but when driving, id prefer something not quite so heavy on the foot

thanks

red wing, high tops, steel toed, dipped in some funky clear chemical resistant stuff. $375.00

yeah I know... OUCH OUCH OUCH and three-quarters...

sure fit and feel nice though....

 

Since I haul carpet steel tips are not needed
I have had so many different ones
But timberlands are the best by far!!!!!!

 

Red wings are very nice and very expensive, wish i could get my company to pay for a pair, my Cats usually last about a year or so, but i figure they would las longer driving, i put mine through h*** for 12 hours a day through everything. With driving it shouldnt be that harsh on them

 

Hrm.. I guess my el-cheapo tennies don't really count, do they? But we're no-touch, so dropping 500 pounds of frozen knockwurst, or 450 pounds of .. well.. just about anything... on my foot is rather unlikely.

When I do wear boots, though, I hit up army surplus. I dunno if it's simply that they fit my feet better, or that I wore them so long they just seem that way.

 

Get mine made by Danner, a boot maker in Portland.

 

Danner makes great backpacking boots

If you are ever in Portland, Oregon, try and stop by the Danner store. They sale their 2nd's and discontinued boots at a WAY reduced price.
They also make other "name brand" shoes for different companies. I have a pair of steel toed "LaCrosse" (made by Danner) that are probally the most comfortable work shoe I have ever owned. Got em for $35.00 at the Danner store.
It has fairly easy access off of I-205 in Portland, on Airport Way which is mostly an industrial area, shouldn't be too hard to find parking close by.
