sons needing new work boots. Must have steel toe caps, be comfy in the workshop and on site. Site can be a quarry or on top of a hill. Can’t be riggers. Price not an issue. Recommendations please
https://www.arco.co.uk/products/6DM...BV_EngineID=ccceadidegllifmcflgcefkdfggdgfn.0 I’ve just got a pair of these. Proper good
I want to know of something like these exist but not at £300 https://www.houseofbruar.com/irish-...bdwbmmckFSCNKimUqsWXZk6lZ9WZ-E7hoCEcwQAvD_BwE
https://goliath.co.uk/ il be grabbing something else from here when these die Yds. Changed there range to Goliath and can't find a direct replacement for these now Most comfortable boots I've ever owned
I work on a per wear if they last these things are cheap, My meindls i got 3 years 7 days a week wearing them for £250 so not too bad. 25p a day Cheaper boots £50 lasted 2 months, 90p a day middle boots £120 a year. 34p a day So actually it works out pretty well plus the meindls remained wether tight and comfy just i wore the soles out God i have riveting chat in a pub honest
I buy boots the same way I buy tools. Spend more so they last Spend more time in trainers while working in people's houses so I get a good long life out of boots. Might as well spend a bit more for comfort and dry feet
If you're going up mountains need something proper waterproof and good for walking. These are excellent https://www.altberg.co.uk/boots/peacekeeper-p3-aqua1 Not cheap but you get what you pay for. They'll re sole them in house too when you. Wear them out.
Off topic, but maybe not... I've bought cheap for years - riggers and then lace up boots, with steel sole and toes - probably £30-£40 a pair. But when I wear them in the garage I end up with sore feet and a sore back so, much to my shame, I end up just putting trainers on, which pretty much defeats the purpose. So does spending more mean more comfort at the sole / heel, which is where I presume my pain comes from?
Try looking on the John Norris website perhaps. You’ll be paying through all your noses buying from that bruar place.
Grisport boulders, Italian leather, super comfy, full leather tongue so ok for welding, scuff cap over the toe so that you don't wear a hole in the toe. My last pair lasted 3 years!
Meindls are good boots. I get less than a year out of them though. They are my everyday footwear. Just got a new pair Le Chameau are comfy but all the pairs I’ve had have a squeak. Don’t be tempted by Black Islander Diottos, very very comfy but they leak.
Helly Hansen Magni. Lightest boots I’ve ever had. No laces so good for hot work. can’t say how long they normally last as I get through them quicker than the average bear due to dragging my feet. But they still last ok
Hi I use Site cheap hard wearing and very comfortable, I allso have a pair of there trainers they have protection in the bottom, got a pair after treading on a plank with a nail in it never again 5 hours of casualty ouch !
Don’t buy doc martins. Fall apart at the first sign of a bit of water or grinding sparks. made in China for handmade prices. They are comfy, but I think that’s more to do with the insoles. I’m using cats now. Get 6 months out of them for about £80
These Site "Elbert" (used to have a different name) were recommended on here, - they are great, comfy right out of the box, get 18 months out of them - though more posterior sitting at the moment so will probably extend the life a bit! On my 3rd pair now. https://www.screwfix.com/c/safety-workwear/safety-boots/cat850524?brand=site&modelnameno=elbert
