    what is a good composite toe boot that the fuel and oil guys are wearing? If you’re wearing a composite shoe let me know that too. What seems to work the best?

    I wear Red Wings with the king toe. They're comfortable and they're best antislip soles I've found.

    Regardless of brand, you need something with an anti-slip sole. My company lets us choose between Red Wing and Ariat; the Red Wings last longer.

    Square toe Ariat . Get em about 1 size bigger than normal so ya can double up on sox in the blasting cold. Gotta wear all FRC's too . I bought a couple wrangler FR jeans and dickies, and then 2 pair of Ariat jeans (FR of course)at 200$ per.

    Was wearing original swat waterproof sidezip safety boots when I was hauling fuel. We still top loaded and they usually got a little gas/diesel/100ll/jet-a dribbled on them when I pulled loading arm out. They held up good other then I wore out the sole on one pivoting on the step getting in and out of truck 20 times a day.

    I wear xtra tuffs with steel toe. Rubber tennis shoe soles good for walking on top of tank or pretty much any terrain

    Carolina Men's 28 Series 8" Waterproof 800G Insulated Composite Toe Grizzly Boot

    I work in the oilfield and have a pair of these carolina 28 is the model. I can wear them 16 hours a day and my feet don't get sore or cold. With 800g of insulation you never need more than one pair of socks.

    Not a warm weather boot. I have a pair of red wing pull on boots for summer. The Carolinas are more comfy
