Work Boots.....

[cookie_7]

Hi Guys N Girls,

My work boots are worn and it's time for a new pair. I'm currently wearing Ascent boots, they are bloody comfy! But just don't last long for the price tag ($160+).

So all the Afo'erZ that wear safety boots, what do you wear and are you happy with them? I wear my boots 10hours/day, Mon-Fri.

Cheers.

I work for a safety company. I can get a good price for you on boots if you like?

Accent are good boots. Steel blue are awesome.

Oliver and steel blue do the same.

Designed for welders. If a bit of slag gets into thee boot they can get it off quickly.

Steel Blue.

Like standing on a steel-capped cloud.

On to about my third consecutive set of Steel Blues.

My big hoof wont fit into Olivers, but the make a nice boot.

I've tried Oliver's before, snap on boots, redback, Colorados. The best one i reckon has to be steel blue which I recently bought! Light and comfy.

[Binder]

Yeah, I also prefer steel blue,. last set of olivers I wore buggered my feet, had to wear orthotics for a year. I steer away from cheap boots now.

I have worn the same pair of Olivers for the last 3 years. THey were provided by my old company and I had never worn steel caps before. They are very comfy and I was about to replace them. I might give these steel blue a try. I have a short fat foot so getting good fitting shoes is a pain for me. The olivers have been great and I like the slip on aspect of them, never have to worry about doing up laces.

Dumb question but where is the best place to get safety boots from? I have never had to buy them before and I definately need to try before buying so can't do it over the net like I normally would.

.

any of your workwear stockists or out lets, just google the nearest totally workwear, hard yakka, prochoice saftey or blackwoods. all of which sell a range of boots (just ring around and get quotes for the best price)

I wore olivers for about 3 years and then my old man gave me a pair of steel blues, very comfy but I wore them out in under a year, I've now gone back to olivers and over a year on the new pair is doing well. Wayne there is a work wear supplier on Boundary Rd opposite my work.

I manage a chain of tyre stores and supply our tyre kickers with Steel Blue boots and they are mostly happy with the comfort side of things, however they seem to go through 2 sets of boots every 12 months. We may be looking into changing brands in the near future so this thread has been helpful and the feedback appreciated.

Majority of our Tyre kickers are from low socioeconomic families so supplying boots and uniforms to them is the least we can do to make their lives better.

I'm currently wearing out a pair of Oliver's, if I get more then 12 months out of a pair I'm happy. I've also had Bluntstone, Redback and Colorado, so far the Olivers are the pick. However steel caps are a joke, since when does something you drop land on your toes, it always seems to land just above the steel cap, as for weld slag falling into the boot, first hand experience says it hurts like hell

[Binder]

Yeah steel blues wear out quick, their supposed to .

They have soft soles and liners to give you support and comfort.

Worth the cost of replacing them regularly. Trust me ask your wife what she spends on shoes in a year :whistle:

I wont comment on people wearing laso side or open top boots and welding, must be some sort of mini Darwin award for them though for effort :pinch:

[tomca]

i use steel blue.

Why would you wear "workwear?"

I have a pair of Mongrels that have served me well for well over a year, Steel Blues (2 pairs) have had the heels collapse within 6 months, now back to mongrels

[faulked]

i have a wide foot and find the olivers the most comfy but the steel blue are probably the best i dont fit them though the steel cap rubs on the side of my big toe

[Eug]

Why would you wear "workwear?"

to work?

I thought you just get appearance money

I wear slip-on olivers with a pair of after market insoles. Makes them pretty comfy and nowhere near the price of steel blues.
