What Boots do you use while running flatbed?

I wear timberlands. Basically they fit me the best. Go to boot barn and try stuff on.

 

These are the only boots I will ever buy.

Made is Wisconsin. Maybe a little pricey but definitely worth it. I wear mine all day long and dont have any issue whatsoever with discomfort.

 

Danner, Georgia , chippewa, whites are among the best boots available
You're gonna pay for them, though.... Best will run over 200 bucks, except the whites.... They're over 400.
Why invest in high quality boots?
1, they last much longer.
2, they wear better
3, they're rebuildable
4, they're better for your feet
5, they cost less to own than cheap ones
I own 6 pair of boots
2 are muck boot rubber type
The rest are whites, Georgia, chippewa, and a handmade custom pair from Stewart boots, in South Tucson.
Original cost :
Whites - 400 in 2006
Georgia - 220 in 2015
Chippewa - 190 in 2017
Custom - 340 in 1995
The whites have been rebuilt 2x, at a cost of 85 bucks plus shipping...so we'll call it 100...total cost over 12 years is 600, or 50 bucks a year...or $4.17 a month.
My custom Stewart's have been rebuilt 5 times, plus 2 sets of heels... Total cost about 850 over their life span.
It works out to just over 2 bucks a month...
Now, your cheap boots example ..
I used to buy Rockys... Around 80 bucks.
I got 6 months out of them if I were lucky, maybe 8 at best.
Cost per month for a crap boot... $10 a month or more.
Plus pain and fatigue in my back, hips, knees and feet.
Friends, good quality boots pay dividends way beyond your feet.
These are my own experiences, and I hope that they help you the next time you're shopping for a good pair of boots.
Our feet make us money... Take care of them so they take care of you.

 

I wear Chippewa's every day. If I get to a soupy, muddy job site I put on a pair of steeled toed rubber boots and use my passenger side as my "mud room".

I have a little over two years on my Chippewas. The lugs are getting thin. I've never had any issues with leaking mud into my socks. Rather than refurbish them, I will likely buy a new pair. They are expensive, but well worth the price.

 

Have Belleville 550 ST boots for summer, Ariat Groundbreaker now for winter, and keep Muck Chore ST in the truck for mud and snow. I always get steel/composite toe boots. Really like the Bellevilles when the weather is nice. Light weight with good grip. The Ariats seem to have decent traction, and keep my feet warm enough for as long as I have to be outside the truck. Have had good luck with Timberland, and Rocky boots in the past.

 

I just realized my Double H's are 5yrs old. I had to actually sit and think that. I bought them in 2014 when I was with my ex-gf, barely wore them for about 5mo because my Ariats were still good.

####, I think I deserve a new pair of boots.

 

No offense intended to anyone, but how the hell do you know and remember the make and model number of the shoe you are wearing? Really......I know what size I like and know that I need it in a wide size. But dang...you drivers know how many , of what size, and what diameter, of what width, what material, the sole type, the shank length, and exactly how long they last. Whewww. dang that's a lot of energy expended on your boots. Just saying.

 

Google.
