    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.

    i have several pairs and i have the Tan Slip on Oliver's, and i have found them quite disappointed.
    Style 40-550 Slip-on Sports Shoe : Oliver footwear bootmakers offer safety boots and specific footwear solutions

    My tried and tested favorites are RedBack Slip on's. R E D B A C K B O O T S A U S T R A L I A

    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

    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

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