[jackshmuc]

If I am not wearing my vans, I got a pair of steel toe Wrangler boots. Or a pair of hunting boots witch arnt steel toe. I worked with a guy who had boots like that. He use to work for the railroad.

I believe Dakota is Mark's Work Warehouse "house" brand. Don't know who actually makes them though - could be a number of companies producing to spec.

Red wings. The pecos pull on style, with steel toe and metgaurd. I've had them for three weeks so I can't say long term, but so far they've been my favorites. They set me up on the foot scanner machine and matched insoles to my feet and they are pretty comfortable.

Wmstr,
I tried those on but they dug in when crouching. I like the idea of the metgaurd on those to save laces, but I went with lace less style, so no worries on my end.

Rocky Wellington style steel toe. Had them for over a year when my wolverines wore out. Have to say they are the most comfortable and durable work boot I have owned. Most expensive Ive ever owned also. I payed around 160 but it is well worth it because I wear them every day to work.

Redwings, water proof steel toe. I just bought a new pair this week, the last pair lasted me 3 years and I went through 7 pairs of laces. Redwings are a little pricey, but I bet it would be difficult to find another boot that would last 3 years of nearly everyday wear. And the old ones could still be worn, but I just broke my 7th pair of laces, the insole needed replaced, and they look pretty rough so I decided on a new pair.

I wear sandals. I can't lift much, so heavy stuff is fine where it sits, but recently I had a nail go through the sole at home. A kevlar or dragonskin layer would be useful there.

I wear totector rigger boots Mens | Totectors

Mud Dog Georgia Boots.

I wear them almost every day. They are steel toe, oil slip resistant, water proof up to the ankle and so far have lasted almost 4 years...Also no laces to tie.

The bottom tread is starting to fall apart, but I plan on re-treading them with some tire tread.


I had a guy stop me in the grocery store one time to tell me good choice on boots, as he was wearing the same kind too lol.

i wear my combats from my days in the service. when they wear out to much i order another pair online. $300 each but theyre the most comfortable strongest boots ive ever put on my feet. ive dropped boilers on my toes and didnt feel a thing and have also played basketball in the boots without a problem.

I also wear Redwing boots, however what really troubles me about the brand is that when I first started buying them years ago I was offered either the Redwing brand, made by union workers in Ohio, or the Worx brand, a company owned by Redwing with workers in China. Back then I couldn't afford the Redwing brand and now that I can even the Redwing brand boots carry the "made in China" label. There are few things that pi$$ me off more than those 3 words

Hytest steel toe work boots. wear them when I go to the scrap yard as well. Too many hazards at yard not to wear them.

Have owned the same pair for the last 3 years. Work construction and are very comfy and last forever. Other boots lasted 6-8 months.

blundstones are a good cheap boot but yeah docs just get better with age.
