What are some classic quality brands?"Actually these days combat boots are getting pretty decent; Vibram has made some gear that, although I was originally issued for work, I now where out and about. Probably not the most fashionable choice, but they are multifunctional. "
"It really depends on what kind of boots you like to wear. Remember that leather boots rarely feel fantastic right out of the box, they usually have to be worked in over the course of a week or two of hard wearing. Then they form around…"

What are some classic quality brands?"If you have actual work to do, and need to protect your feet while still maintaining some modicum of comfort, Red Wing is the go-to boot. Lightweight day hikers may be more comfortable most of the time, but when something heavy lands on your foot,…"
tom garside replied to Nick Henderson's discussion Why are boots the work footwear? What are some classic quality brands?"i really like rigger boots too. but a lot of sites specifically ban them which sucks. I mostly just wear mine to drive to work and when it snows. "

"I spend about 14 hours a day in a pair of Georgia Giants, but boots may not be your thing. If you wear shoes for hiking, Merrell makes work shoes with hard toes."
"Excuse the cut and paste, but it gave a good bit of info for the boot. I wore these for many a mile, and they kept my feet protected and dry. Incredibly light weight considering the construction.

Chuck Knight replied to Nick Henderson's discussion Why are boots the work footwear? What are some classic quality brands?"Why? What is it that you do that would preclude the wearing of a well built steel toed boot that was actually attractive when new?
Is ugly a requirement?

"Check again on your Wolverines, many are made elsewhere. I had to stop wearing them,quality had severely dropped"
Chuck Knight replied to Nick Henderson's discussion Why are boots the work footwear? What are some classic quality brands?"Yes.
Make certain your toes have enough room. Wolverine's 8" lace on fits me perfectly. Steel toe or not, your toes shouldn't be squished into the end.
If you have a wide toe, Justin even has a square toed…"
tom garside replied to Nick Henderson's discussion Why are boots the work footwear? What are some classic quality brands?"You can get comfortable boots with toe caps just make sure that they are wide enough and water thick socks. You are better off getting them from a shop and trying them on rather than buying online. Also like any shoe they will get more comfortable…"
