HDAV Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I need some new work boots for site stuff need to be comfy and not cost the earth, have wide feet and have found the steel rubs my toes in some I have tried ideally not too heavy either happy with rigger or lace up type last pair I got we're the trainer type. Any good suppliers would prefer to try first or have free returns on mail order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazed Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 good old doc martin industrial. If you shop about you can find them for about 40 notes. I would break them in befor doing a 12 hour day tho lol. We have to use out workplace issued boots :( bad is not the word. More like crippling !

HDAV Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah not keen on the cheapest of the cheap......hence the question found riggers can be tiring to wear for long periods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 good old doc martin industrial. If you shop about you can find them for about 40 notes. I would break them in befor doing a 12 hour day tho lol. We have to use out workplace issued boots :( bad is not the word. More like crippling ! Got a pair, and boy do they need breaking in, had to get another pair as the DM's drew blood after a very short time due to their stiffness around the heal area.

m3vert Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 How much do you want to spend? I have Original SWAT with composite toe caps which are way lighter than steely's also they are a balistic nylon material so your feet dont sweat like hell in them. I got them from Gladstone Boots who were first class to deal with. Granted I use these out in the Middle East where rain aint an issue but they do other versions that have waterproof membranes and some are leather I think. These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn! Had them for 2 1/2yrs now and in that time they will have been on my feet for 12hrs a day x 550days!! Still holding up reasonably well and still comfy as hell! Next pair will be the same boots without a doubt Oh and I think from memory they were about the £80 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sound good but £80 is steep! I won't wear them every day only when I am on site but the composite toe sounds interesting need to check the regs anyone know a simple guide for what protection level is needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 go for a pair of these, they are fantastic. i am on my second pair now and as long as i can get them i cant see me changing. they are light, very comfy and the thing i like best is the zip down the side (not because i cant tie laces :blink:). they are like wearing slippers even when brand new. probably more expensive than you are looking for but certainly worth it. http://www.outlandsa...up_safety_boot_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
