What workboots do you wear?

[axemurderer101]

Hi all,
well i might be looking at getting some new boots for work in the future so i was just wondering what everyone else wears and what you think of them. At the moment i have a pair of Oliver steel caps and they have been great, they are real comfortable and are pretty tough. But since my work gave us black pants to wear instead of the jeans i was wearing i thought i might aswell buy some black boots cause the ones i got are that tan color.

So im thinking of staying with the oliver brand or get some opinions on other brands.

Currently i am wearing Diadora Sports Saftey and i must say except for the price its just like wearing Runners! Link: Diadora GLOVE Safety sports jogger - Workboot Warehouse safety footwear work boots Australia

i can also say that i have a pair of CAT lace up non steel toe boots, and the are FANTASTIC, i got them as a walking shoe when i went to Europe and they amazed me at how Comfy they still were at the end of 6 weeks everyday thousands and thousands of steps later

Coon boots FTW!!!

When coon boots arnt accepted, I have a pair of Redback slip ons, had them for years, and have always bought them, but then I dont wear my boots for work,

got some jackeroos steelcaps they are not to bad could use a little more comfort though

[southy]

+1 for olivers. They didnt take long to wear in and are comfortable.

[GAMBLR]

Steel Blues are standard where I work. Actually a great, comfy shoe and they've lasted so far. It's not like I look after them either :P

[shiftySLE]

Redbacks, Macks or If the green is available, Cats are the best.

[GetToDaChopa]

These are my work boots

These are my work boots

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and assume you dont do concreting or are a truck driver.

[kniever]

redback too, they are really comfortable for boots

[coolvxss]

steel blue for me, very comfy

[love the general]

i can't go past redback slip ons. they are a bit heavier than most but so comfortable and tough

[Dayvo]

I have Redbacks without the steel caps Steel caps freeze you toes when you work in minus 20 degrees.

i work for the railways we have just swapper from olivers to steel blue(about 12 months ago), the olivers were heavy and didnt take to the wear and tear and the stitching kept tearing open werent really water tight either. steel blues have been great so far water tight and the boots we have have a heavier duty rubber coated steel toe cap oposed to the pathetic thin layer of puss oliver put over there boots and we really give our boots a hard time walk miles on ballast rock always kicking ballast rocks and steel and always walking on hot thermit welds (they still melt a bit but not as bad as olivers)
This is just my experience with our boots
Red Back lace ups also weigh a tonne

i wore olivers AT's (all terrains) for a good 15 months before i needed a new pair..great boots, recently just bought a pair of steel blues because the lady at the workwear shop said they are great for spending all day in on a hard floor..as i do, been wearing them for about 4 months now and had no troubles..you pay a bit more for them but its well worth it in my opinion as the technology is in the sole. Also find the steel blues are a lighter and wider fitting boot then the olivers which is good for me because my foot is pretty wide. Both are steel cap lace ups..hate slip on's
