Poop Comfortable work boots

booger · 03-26-2012, 10:00 PM

Looking for thoughts on the most comfortable work boots out there in CP land. Preferably looking for pull on cowboy boot type with no laces. Have always worn Georgia boot before but I don't get the ankle support anymore. Always had the lace ups too but wanted opinions on pull on types. What's your brand? Wolverine, Dr. Martens, Rocky?

Sell me something you Al Bundies.

Buy a pair of redwings. Then 10 years from now, buy another pair of redwings.

10 years? Seriously? With daily use?

10 years of what? Trekking the amazon? Probably not. Working in a machine shop? yes, definitely.

I've had good luck with Eccos. They aren't pull on and you will hate life when you pay the bill, but they've lasted and have good comfort.

I put a pair of orthotics in them for plantar faciitis, so I lace up $500 everyday, but I'm not buying anything else.

I've got a bad ankle i've got to support. For 500 it better come with a hand tuggy too.

Boots are like 250 and the insoles from the chiropractor are like 250. If you're body isn't junk, you don't have to lace up 500.

The lace ups have good ankle support. If it is really bad you should try some sort of ankle wrap.

I have this one and like it a lot. It gives you some support without much motion restriction or binding/cutting. If you really torque the ankle it won't stop it like a really restrictive job, but for everyday stuff it is really good and has all-day comfort.

I bought a pair of Wolverines early last summer. They weren't terribly comfortable off the shelf but I bought a set of those gel insoles which helped a lot. While they have held up well as far as the construction of them, I'm pretty disappointed in how quickly the soles wore out considering 50% of the walking I do is indoors, and half of my outdoor time is on grass. I wouldn't recommend them.

Thanks for the input. Was thinking Durashocks would be one of my top choices. I hate to think of spending 100 bucks plus on a pair and have them wear out quickly. I'll be on concrete for 50 hrs plus/week. Doc Martens used to be a heck of boot too but like so much else they are getting made in China now.

Are you ****ing kidding me?

I see that isn't reflected in the price.
