Steel toe capped boots
whats good?
I've tried the cheapest ones i could find - which soon went in the bin - i've tried expensive mac ones which fell apart in record time and now i'm on my third pair of work supplied ones which are just awful (the rub the top of my toes on the ridge where the steel cap ends)
Soooo been looking on ebay and found dr. martans, snap on boots, cat and dickies?
any of them any good? any opinions?

I had dewalt boots, absolutly fantastic!!!!!!! Wish I had them in my current job.
They had a gortex lining and had padded antibacterial soles, to make your search easier - if you were intrested in these. Cost me about £75

Seriously, all the branded boots are in the 50-70 quid range and are all made in China, just like Nike, Reebok, Adidas etc

I have been through load of boots like Dewalt, CAT, Timberland, Scruffs, Vital etc and these are the best by far. Feel like slippers

3 month warranty on the snap on boots too as opposeed to 1 month with most others!
always something to consider too, i wear a pair of snap on quads everyday and have for the past 10 months i have no complaints!! even the laces are still going strong!
