Does anyone know of any comfortible steel toed boots?

with 2 comments

At my engineering job I am required to wear steel toed boots and the pair I have now are just horribly uncomfortable and makes for a very long 12 hour night. I was wondering if anyone knew of any very good and comfortable brand of steel toed boots? Thanks very much!

Oh yeah I completely agree with you all about the whole 12 hour thing, very true! However I will only be out there for about 30 minutes and can just feel how uncomfortable the shoes are. I have had many jobs in the best where I’ve stood on my feet for 12 hours a day and was able to wear sneakers. Yes my feet hurt at the end of the night but not at the beginning of the shift.

Are steel toed hiking boots worth buying?

with 7 comments

I have been wanting a new pair of hiking boots, but haven’t had the money. I just got a job that requires me to have steel toed boots. The job is only for a few weeks, but I may be required to wear them on other jobs in the future. Regardless of which style I get, I will most likely be buying Red Wing boots. On their website, I see they have steel toed hiking boots. What is the purpose of a steel toed hiking boot? Why would a hiker need to have steel toed boots? Wouldn’t that just be more weight? I see that some of their hiking boots have aluminum toes, claiming to be 33% lighter than steel with the same protection. Would these boots be good potential hiking boots as well as suitable for construction or should I just focus on work boots and buy myself some hiking boots at a later date?

Where can I get steel toes installed in regular boots?

with one comment

I have a pair of boots, and they’re not steel toed, and I need steel toed boots for my job. There’s a lot of wiggle room in the toe area, but where can I get steel toes done? I know people get them done, but I’m not sure where to look.

Can boots be altered to become steel toed?

with 6 comments

I am going to need some steel-toe boots for a job coming up; I have some sturdy boots but they are not steel-toe. To avoid the expense of buying a whole new pair of boots, I thought perhaps I could go to a shoe repair shop near my house. Would such a place be able to add adequate protection to my boots?
