i've had my steel toe capped boots now for a few years and they are really nice and comfy but they were provided by work and the new ones are a bit shit, so where can i find out where mine came from?

and if you need to wear steels, what make/model are yours?

they've been great in the snow and keep my feet fairly warn but they have started to let in water along the seam so i need a new pair, but seeing as i've not bought a pair for 15 years, not exactly sure what's good value or not

don't want them pull on boots though, need to be lace ups

 

i wear trusty cat boots in the winter months,

 

I work out side and wear a good quality pair of walking boots made by brasher.not much help really if u need steels but i have seen some dew alt 1's and they look pretty good.

 

Hillmasters? They have a solid reputation, and Go outdoors *were* selling them at a very good price a while back...

Cant remember my make of boots but they are lace up and zip up.

Awesome just pull them on and zip them up.

 

I've got these Dr. Martens Dealer boots for when I go on site:

Easier for me as they slip on and off in seconds as I don't wear them all the time. Dead comfy though and warm in this cold weather. No good to you though Dojj if you need lace ups. DM lace up ones are just as recommended though as had a pair of them before.

 

Dunlop Purafort thermo plus for the winter months.

Av worn them down to -42C without problems.

Latley (Warmer climates) I wear Element II Non-Metalic saftey shoes.

 

always wear riggers for being a pikey or old rockports, my mate just spent £400 on some stihl trousers and boots though the mad fuck

 

these are my work boots, timberland steel toe cap

thought them trousers stopped chain saws from cutting your legs off?

as for the boots, need to be do up able but not high tall boots, but them doc martens look just about right

 

they dont exactlly stop them pmsl but they help, he lives in them 24/7, hes a tree surgeons helper

 

About Blu rangers, brilliant boots.

Offshore specific boots so they are lace up but also have a zip down the side for easy on and off. Have been good in the snow with a descent pair of socks on.

I think the retail is about £80 or something but i got mine off ebay for £15 or something brand new.

Work provided me with the ones below the ranger, the alpine, but they are not as comfortable.

3 years youve had em? FOOKINEL BET THEY STANK!! mine are only good for 6 months then they melt propper chedder toe am tellin ya
dewalts are the choice of many on site when they soften up thier like trainers very light weight to

 

These are my offshore work boots, Sievi XL S3, lace up up on the front with a zip down the side for quick fitting/removing.

i get mine off the snap on man. there branded snap on but obv made by someone else, very comfy and hard wearing £50. so good value too.

 

Dont bother with dickies, had these 6 months and they still dont feel broken in, cheap arco ones have always been okay for me.

 

timberland pro series, best boots ive ever had, much better than my previous cats or de walts

 

I have got these in brown

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/33268/...s-Black-Size-9

I have had them now for 2 1/2 years and I'm a joiner on site. They are worn 5-6 days a week and they still look pretty good. The rubber on the front stops the toe from wearing away which is pretty handy. I will definately be buying some more once they wear out but I bet I have got another year left in them!

Same as mine.

 

They're shite in my experience, none of the lads at work like them either, they look nice when you first get them but thats about it, theyre not that light/comfortable/flexible, they fall to bits very easily, dont deal with drilling mud, oil, water very well, makes the soles come away and the toe covering come off, in general they fall to bits. And you get filthy tying the laces every time you put them on/off.

 

Can't remember which brasher model they are b ut are goretex and are very comfy and with the right socks very warm i am currently wearing brasher -30 socks which also have a bit of gortex to help my feet breath very toostie

 

ill admit they aint too light but as for the rest id have to disagree, ive had my pair 18+ months and they have taken a hell of a lot of abuse, i usually need a new pair every 6-8 months

 

2 pairs in 18 months there crap IMO as said look ok to start with then fall apart

 

I work on site, rigger boots are a pain in the arse and go uncomfy. I just go the shoemarket and get some Wrangler boots

 

i have to wear magnums

 

dewalt or timberlands for me


mine are just starting to give out so will need to replace them pronto in this weather i think

 

+1

 

had dewalts and timberlands for years!

 

Dickies Quebec had them for a few months now

 

the laces always snap on dickies i find, then the sides split i climb up scafolds dailey though

 

I wear Cat boots, one of the best things is they are light.

 

i used to wear these, but found they wore out very quickly..

so replaced them with a new brand called 'V12' and i've worn them out in 4 weeks

i'm going to try and get some better ones, been told Dewalt are good

 

Riggers are good but do get uncomfy and saggy quickly

Ive always liked Dickies or Cat stuff personally

 

i've got some jcb branded ones at the moment that are average. the best pair i ever had were karrimor as they were really comfortable. something like these:

http://www.powertooldirect.co.uk/kar...l-p-79155.html

 

ive got dewalt boots, proper comfy, defo buy another pair

 

Used to have DM's now use Dewalt, alot better and hard wearing.

 

i got dewalts, riggers
very nice
put em on right tho as if you force em the backs to rip out after a few ths

 

jallates are the business!

 

i have always worn riggers and been through a lot of the one mentioned above and none compare to the Dr. martens gor-tex lined boots,very nice fit and very comfortable.

here is a link to show you them but you can get them a lot cheaper,around £70 is average.

im a ground worker. and i go through a pair of boots every 6 to 8 months, and for the last 5 years ive used cat boots. comfy from the off ,dont rub, good sturdy boots. tryed timberland but didnt find these as good. you can get cheaper boots but there not as good/comfy. you got to look afer your feet.
