Remarkableriots Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I need to get some Steel-Toe Work Boots and was wondering if anybody here had some suggestions on a comfortable pair to get? They need to be comfortable for 12 hour work shifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 They weren't steel toed but they do make them, Merrell shoes are durable and comfortable (IMO) but the best thing you can do is invest in an insole for your shoes. It will make them more comfortable than just putting your feet in raw. Something like this i thought worked pretty well for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ODG1SS/ I worked 8 hours shifts where I mostly stood or walked around a building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 @Remarkableriots No steel toed work boot is comfortable at first! That said, Doc Martin's, Caterpillar and Carhartt all make good STWBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dualhunter Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have some Stanley low-cut ones that are really comfortable but a bit worn out now. I went to replace them but even though the picture online looks like the ones I have, what's actually available is a different model that I don't find comfortable (feels a bit constricted around the toes). Ideally you want to try them out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I too need steel toed shoes for work myself. I usually go through them in 6-8 months time (big guy and foot issues from 23 year old ankle/foot break) I’m currently light duty work but wear them all day for work (10hr shift, 4 days a week) Work as a pop merchandising stores, and have walked a few times 4km to a store in them with no issue. It is the closest feeling I have had to wearing a pair of regular runners. Anyways I’m still wearing a pair of these Reebok Sublite, and are still comfy on my feet after a year and half of use. Also still in roughly good shape. They don’t have the grip like CATS SpiderGrip shoes, but the comfort is so much nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 For the love of all that is unholy, go with Red Wing. Even better, if you can find a Red Wing store in your area, go there to be properly fitted for the boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I don't know where my mind was at when I initially responded, but yeah, Red Wings are actually considered to be the best in the business of safety boots, so buy with confidence!
