What type of boots are necessary?

hubby bought some Justin Steal toe cowboy boots...THEY ARE SUPER comfy and give him good ankle support..not too mention he looks hot when he is all ready for work in his FR's and boots...

 

They seem like a better choice after reading about the differences between them and steel toes and how they react to an impact.


I did pick up a pair of ST rubber boots from Walmart already for $25. So I'm slowly starting my collection.

 

Lol I started out with the $25 wal mart boots too...I promise you that after your first day or two the fields, you'll be THRILLED to spend a couple hundred bucks on Red Wings.

The difference in comfort, durability, and your overall mood will be well worth it.

 

Haha I believe it. Just picked them up because I actually found a pair in my size and after working outdoors I know you can never have enough dry shoes and socks.

Definitely stopping at the Red Wings store to see if I can find a pair that doesn't kill my wide foot.

 

Take time to really test the boot out. Your foot swells a bit later in the day, so go shopping for them later in the day. Replicate movements you may use in the field. Wear them inside the house for hours and if they no longer feel comfortable, return them for a full refund. If you wear them outdoors and they get that worn sole and/or worn look, it will be harder to get your money back. I have purchased some super comfortable boots at Wal Mart, but it took me 2 or 3 hours to pick and perform all my test maneuvers. I think I might nerdy. No, wait, I am.

 

Georgia mud dogs when it's wet,Justin steel toed leather boots with oil resistant sole when its dry. Been at it 6 days a week for 2 years,they will wear out quickly on these dang rocks!

 

As previously stated, Red Wings in my opinion are the only way to go out here in the field. I have a pair of laceups that are 8 inches tall. As well as a pair of Wilmington pull ons I believe they are 10 or 12 inches. They may be expensive from a dollars and cents point of view, but overall value and lasting quality they are priceless.

 

Red Wings hands down. I've worn Red Wing Diamondback Peco Supersoles for the last 20 years. You can't beat them for the life you'll get out of them. In 20 years I've only bought 5 or 6 pairs of work boots. They're in the $200 - $250 range but you get what you pay for. The fact that they're still made in America makes them a good choice also.

If that is how it is measured then chest waider's are necessary. LOL

 

For log haulin I been using Danner "Rain Forest" insulated, waterproof, steel toes... 300.00 a pair but worth every penny! the last pair outlasted my Whites, and way more comfortable!
