botty mcbotfaceI have worn Red Wing work boots since I had my first job at a mechanics shop at the age of 14. I buy 3 or 4 pairs of boots a year and never wear a pair 2 days in a row. The boots I order are $219 bucks and the last 2 pairs have been clunkers. Just not as comfortable as I am accustomed to. I work on concrete most of the time and walk a lot, often carrying around 10 or 15 pounds. What are you guys doing for boots these days?
I have always worn steel toe cap boots in most jobs I have had but have never really found any which are comfortable. I can't wait to take them off at the end of a day. Has anybody got any recommendations of any which are suitable for building site work which are somewhat comfortable? Fully waterproof and made to last are important. The pair I have now are a £60 pair of dickies and although they feel well built i can't wait to take them off. I struggle as I'm a size 14 and not every style are available in my size. Any particular brands to recommend? Price not really an issue as i spend most of my day in them so I want the best. Can't really wear trainer types on the sites im working on and rigger boots are not allowed.Some companies will provide boots (and PPE n general) that meet their requirements for the risks they've assessed you're likely to encounter.
They may even insist that you wear their approved PPE as a requirement of their insurance policy.
It may also be stipulated in your employer's contracts for site personnel - refineries and utilities for instance are pretty heavy on that sort of control.
Just ask the H&S manager or your rep. If you don't like it, walk.
I spent several years working for a company that was very proactive about health and safety and it was generally seen and supported as a positive thing like Orthopädische Schuhe Damen. A lot depends on how it's sold to the end user I suppose.
