most comfy steel toe boot

[arrowdem]

that time of year for new work boots, what is the most comfy steel toe you guys have had, ready... GO!

 

[guywhofishes]

Keen - hands down for me. Used to wear a lot of Red Wings.

NOTHING steel toe is comfy at 40 degrees and below. Composite toe on the other hand might attain a measure of comfy.

ariat? anyone run those before?

 

[guywhofishes]

I have steel toe Sorels (I think they're Sorels anway) that are just as warm/comfy as standard pack boots (minus the additional weight of course).

I have Irish Setter steel toe pull ons. I find them comfortable for standing on concrete all day. water proof and fairly warm. A GOOD set of insoles are your best friend with work boots

 

[MuskyManiac]

Don't wear steel toes myself but see a lot of people who do. Keen seems to be quite popular these days.

You must be blessed with Lava Toes you lucky duck. I was issued steel toe Belleville boots and I found them to be cold and clammy. Even when I wore wool socks. I was issued Composite toe Belleville boots as a substitute and they are head and shoulders more "comfy" than the steel toes.

2Nd the irish setter Marshall pull ons. Had ariat pull on before and the irish setters are more comfortable to me

I have a pair and they have held up well. Mine are the pull on type

These composite toe Rocky Trailblades have been really comfy for me and have held up allot better than I thought they would.
Lightweight and very breathable yet waterproof. Bought a pair of heavy redwings at about the same time and I never wear them.

I wear these: http://www.redwingshoes.com/red-wing-shoe/2492-red-wing-shoes/2492-red-wing-mens-8-inch-boot-brown

Not great for hiking around in but good for work. Saved my toes many a time while working calves.

I had the ariat square toe pull ons and they were probably the best I had as far as comfort, I bought them 4 years back and wore them 2 years the leather on the toe wore out but the rest of the boot held up good. After that I bought the double h black ice and they were decent not as comfy as the ariats but a nice boot. In November I bought a pair of twisted X with the extra wide toe, and they have been really good probably second place behind the ariats. I have worn rockies before and thought they were garbage, compared to the ariats. Also I had dr. maartens and they were a decent boot but the leather wore out fast and they were really heavy, I know a few guys that run the lace up redwings and like them, but I have always worn the cowboy boot style.

I have been wearing Redwings for years. Very comfortable, long lasting and water proofing seems to last pretty well. Only drawback is that they are heavy. I tried one of Rockies brands a few years ago, they started breaking down within a couple of months.

I have these for four years still in great shape. Comfortable from day one. They a great consultant boot easy on and easy off. Very important for the company man shack.

I would go with a composite toe if u work outside in the winter. I'm not much help besides that I wear shoes most of the time.
