jordan Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I bought myself a pair of boots today there called Totectors theyve got a Leather upper with padded storm cuff, Half bellows padded tongue and comfort tongue with quarter lining, Water repellant leather, Sealed stitching, Extra wide Fit, Oil resistant outsole, Shock absorbing heel, Antistatic, Ladder grip, Double density polyurethane soles, Heat resistant up to 200*C and a Pierce resistant steel midsole. But i personally think the best thing about these boots was the price £15 these retail at £50 so i think i got a good deal. They certainly look the business but will they last? the size range is 6-13. Some pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have a pair almost identical. I get issued a pair from work every year (they last more than a year so the boots pile up!) and they are very good. Just keep them dubbed up and they will be very water proof and warm. Not in the same league as "specialist " boots but a lot cheaper. Enjoy. (Although I go for black not brown as they show up the nicks and scuffs less, but what the hell it is not a fashion show is it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 That sounds like a very good deal. Your feet might get a bit hot though, if the temperature ever gets above 200C. (Water boils at 100C) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 They can feel a bit heavy, with all that steel in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 That sounds like a very good deal. Your feet might get a bit hot though, if the temperature ever gets above 200C. (Water boils at 100C) Depends on the water. The difference in the boiling point between typical supplies of hard and soft water is about a degree or two.

Cranfield Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Depends on the water. It also depends on the altitude at which the water is boiled, but I didn't think anyone needed to know that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammergun Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 You're lucky finding them. They don't make boots like that now - most of what we get now are cheap imports from the far east, which is why Toetectors, a quality British boot company, went bust in 2003.
