re: Recommend some steal toe boots

Do you have to have steel or can you use composite toe? Composite toe is much more comfortable. Ariats make a fine composite toe boot.

My last three pair have been Tony Lama water proof.

The pair that I use on my job now are not boots. $20 Brazos Men's Mesa Slip-on Steel Toe Work Boots

Will be working inside but will need to walk the yard some too. I will be walking on gravel, concrete, and boats.
I work inside all day but occasionally have need to go on the deck. These are very comfortable.

If you spend much time on the gravel and prefer/need boots, consider the shank. The Red wing boots I use for land work (don't do much anymore) have a good quality fiberglass shank.

SUPERSOLE® 2.0 8-INCH BOOT


The shank will spread the uneven forces of the gravel across your foot and provide support. Steel shanks work as well. Logger style boots all have good shanks, typically steel.

Those steel toe moccasins suck for climbing ladders, they kill your feet because they have no support shank in them.


OP, I do pretty much what you do, the ones I linked on the last page work great. Previously I bought the WORX brand made by Red Wing but the Georgias hold up better. If you ever in Larose stop at Ledets, beat selection in Houma/Thibodaux.

I've worn the 20 dollar brazos shoes from academy every day for 15 years. they last about 8 months then I get another pair. If you don't need boots, but steel toe is required, they are hard to beat

office to field to dinner out, they are all I wear

Redwing Pecos. Nothing will outlast

Doc Martin has an amazing steel-toed boot that will last you at least 2 years with every day industrial wear and tear. I'm on my 3rd pair and I've been working in the industrial sector for around 10 years.

Redwing is hard to top!

Thorogood...if you go with lace up. Durable, VERY comfortable, no break in needed and American made. They do make a pull on (Wellington style) boot but I haven't tried those yet.
