Hi all, need recommendations for anti-slip, static dissipative, and steel/composite toe work boots. Not finding too many boots online that are anti-static and the few that are on amazon look to be sneakers which I can't use. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

It's ASTM2413-11 SD (static dissipative) not EH (electrical hazard). EH boots reduce flow of electricity to ground whereas the SD boots dissipate static electricity buildup from the body. I have a feeling some EH boots would work just fine they just aren't advertised as such

I just didn't know if anyone on here had experience with one of those specific boot brands.

Thanks for the link ryno. Is goergia a good brand?

I use Dr. Martin Fusion Steel Toe. I've worn them for about 5 years now and haven't found better. Easy on and off and comfortable when I'm on my feet all day.

These red wing composite toe/shank are the best boots I've ever worn. I'm on my 6th pair. Company buys a new pair every year. The composite shank is good for chemical resistance and the composite toe is light as hell. Big wide space for your toe.

Im on my feet a lot and will buy new insoles every 6-8 months from Amazon made by spenco for work boots. The boot itself last like a champ.

I put two coats of neatsfoot oil on them using a hair dryer to heat up the leather so it sucks in the oil.

Awesome boot.
