New boots

[shanky887614]

Hi guys, ive got a pair of tamarack st's and the toe caps are starting to show

What boots you guys using?

 

[onions1066]

Timberland are the best work boots. Expensive but it feels like walking on clouds. I'm wearing scruffs at the minute. They feel like walking on hot cole.

 

[shanky887614]

Which timberland boots? They can't be much more than the dr martens ive got £95

 

[onions1066]

I'm not sure the model. Google steel tie cap timberland. Endure 1 day of pain in them and I promise you'll love them . We used to pay £90 for them so about the same price.

 

[shanky887614]

I think I might get the trapper version. I prefer proper boots rather than half boots

1day of pain? You feel like your off skiing in them for first few days! Decent boots though to be fair when uve got through the pain barrier.

Look good

Don't get site boots from Screwfix 5 week they lasted. Gone in bin tonight. Going back to dewalt defenders norm get a year out of them

Don't buy any from Wales, they are very wide in the leg area due to the fact they are designed to hold sheep in place, the main problem with that is the water can get into the boots and you end up with wet socks.

To be fair comfy but toe caps come through all ready and sides splitting. Resulting in them leaking

Not as bad as I thought then.

I like the ones with the waterproof lining. For example my docs are nearly showing the toecap but are still waterproof

Goliath are very good, had them 4yrs and used every day.

There is a place selling them for 90 on net and another selling for 190


What kind of a mug pays €190 fir work boots

 

[mechelec]

I have had a pair of dickies boots for 3 weeks and the lining has come away. Absolute garbage, they have not even been worn every day.

I only paid £90 for mine, but if I had to I would pay £190 for em, I've literally just walked the dogs in mine, wading just over my ankles in mud crud and water and my feet are comfy, warm and bone dry!

Can't afford it this month as work has been slack so not getting paid as much as normal

You will notice they are quite heavy initially but you get used to that, they are indestructible!, also warm and dry!. And in the summer they reflect heat!.

What sold me is they are standard issue to the jointers at western power and that's good enough for me!

Any decent sites or sites you suggest because im off today and could look for some since clearly shopping might be therapeutic can I have a list of boots to look at?!

A bit of advice, forget the boots, try to find work first, if you don't find work you are shelling out money for nothing

Sterling cobalt non metallic are very good ! Not to be confused with sterling steel!
Waterproof , as light as you can get ,wide fit and comfy after a couple of days
and you can get them for around £40 online I've been wearing this make for nearly 6 years
I have bought other makes but I always end up regretting it and going back to these
the only bad thing is no scuff cap to stop the toecap showing through
