work boots, who's got what?
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'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.

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.

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 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!

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.

Testing the future
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:

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.
