StayGold661 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 What is your brand of work boots/safety toe boots? Pros? Cons? I personally use Caterpillar 2nd shift steel toe boots. Work perfect for what I do they take a thrashing every day how ever I've had them for 3 months and the Comfort aspect of them has gone away. Nothing Dr scholls can't fix! They're very affordable too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just don't say Red Wings too loud around Eric trust me its a Chicago person thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayGold661 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'd love a pair of red wings as well I just can't justify the price tag. I was thinking of getting Timberlands for my next pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 We had a pretty extensive thread on this a year or so ago.I've tried them all. I like Red Wings, but they do have some cheaper, Chinese, models that aren't too good.Timberland Pro are great boots. The most comfortable boots out of the box you can buy. They don't last quite as long as Red Wings, but they don't cost Red Wing prices either.I've grown fond of Doc Martin's over the last couple of years. They're very comfortable and seem to wear a little better than Timberland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSionnach Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 If you wear boots every day, and can justify the expense, I would recommend Nicks or Whites boots, I prefer Nicks. For the custom fit boots they send a sheet to trace your feet on and put different foot and leg measurements on. You can order lots of styles, safety toes and up to 16" uppers on the lineman boots iirc. Nicks are 100% American handmade in Spokane Wa. Being handmade there is up to a 4 month wait and they're more expensive than most boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I wear Nike's High tops of course for safety...LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDama Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Timberland Pro series has been my best bet, for the first week when you are still breaking in the "custom fit cushion" they feel weird but after that they are super comfortable... also I put a red wing toe boot guard on to avoid the steel from revealing itself.

ChrisK Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have a pair of Danner winter boots for work. They are really solid and the toe lace is a nice feature. I've got the non steel toe ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
