Where can I find good Steel Toe boots for a Diabetic?

with 4 comments

My dad has diabetes and he’s a welder. He has trouble finding work boots that don’t take a toll on his feet. Is there a place that sells a good variety of steel toe boots that provide the cushioning a diabetic needs? I did a web search and found a few sites that carried a few but they were all lace up boots which are not what my dad had in mind. Maybe I’m not doing the right search or maybe there’s a retailer who provides this. Anyway, I’d be very thankful.

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?

Is it alright to wear steel toed work boots on a plane in the USA?

with 2 comments

Work boots with the steel toe inside. I’m sure they would set off the detector, but you have to take off your shoes anyway right? Will they ay it’s some kind of weapon and not let you on board?

Can anyone recoomend leather (not steel toe) work boots for people with plantar fasciitis?

with one comment

I suffer from plantar fasciitis (it causes a certain type of soreness in the heels of your feet). I am on my feet 8 hours a day on cement in work boots, I’m wondering if there are work boots out that are designed to help prevent the condition from getting worse etc.

Lawn Grips Steel Toe Work Shoe for Lawn Care Work

with one comment

www.startalawncarebusiness.com If you operate or work for a lawn care company (or if you are just a casual gardener) you owe it to yourself to purchase a professional pair of lawn care work boots or work shoes. I wish people wouldn’t wear old ratty tennis shoes during their lawn care…

Month-old steel-toe work boots have several “cuts/nicks” especially around toe and heel of boot. Typical?

with one comment

These are my first pair of work boots EVER and so I have no idea what to expect as far as wear and tear goes. I work in a steel fabrication shop and I handle everything from metal to wood (especially sharp-edged laser-cut metal to nail-studded pallets. How can I prevent further nicking, cutting, and abrasion, or is this just the way it is?
