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…"

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. "

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.
