got about 8 pair in the closet. From Doc Martins to Cat...

they suck as a general rule if you have wide feet :)
 
They don't stop a pitchfork from going through you're foot!
 
Georgias, Carolina and Chippewas.

Most uncomfortable things ever, but they look cool.

I have lots of callouses.
 
Timberland Pro Ti here. They have been one of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn and light weight too.
 
custom made from a local boot maker/cobbler, with a safety toe. doesn't get as cold as a steel toe.
 
Currently wearing boots from the Hytest Footrest line. Best boots I've used so far. I stand on concrete in a machine shop for 8-10 hours a day. The shoes gotta be comfortable! I paid right around $150 for the pair.

Red Wings...pricey yes...but they will out last most others...so it works out in the long run.
 
red wings, though i do not get steel toes.
i spend too much time on my knees(don't bother. 1. it's to easy 2. you won't be the first). as a pipe welder i'm always on my knees. i would be wearing out the tips of my boots in less than a year, since i quite getting steel toes i get almost 2 years per pair.
 
Wolverine (Caterpillar), Red Wing, and a couple other off-brands. They all seem to last about the same, and feel the same, no matter if it is 3 hours on your feet or 16.....

Nice boots Kris.

Do they make them in Mens? ;)
 
But I have small feet, and you know what they say about small feet...



























You buy small boots.:flipoff2:
I don't have small feet but anyway. I actually have four flavors of steel toes, Redwing, Wolverine, the Timberlands and I can't recall the other. The Timberlands have been the best for comfort and climbing on/around aircraft. They have a non-marking sole, kinda important so you don't leave black marks on a guys $10+ million airplane. You guys that work in other shops prolly don't need to worry about that.

Steve,
Do you think a guy would notice shoe prints on his D11 carrydozer?:D
 
It's not the most manly boot, but I use the Georgia Giant Steel Toe Romeo around the house. I can slip them on and off (with no hands) as I'm running between the garage and the house.

I don't wear steel toes.

Hate the things have heard way to many horror stories of what can happen with the crush factor when they incounter something they cannot withstand. I like my piggies right where they are.

Vasque boots are the shiz. My present pair is 10 years old and still as comfortable as can be. Cost about $360 back in the day but they take a serious beating and really hold up. Just 02
 
I had a pair of DocMartens I wore everyday for about three years and really liked them. They were shoes though, not boots.
