Boots

[artie]

Guys, any tips for work boots.

Comfortable, affordable, durable and not the size of boats.

Dewalt from Screwfix.

Currently got the brown leather 'waterproof' Site brand also from scewfix. Been impressed, holding up well in a job that kills boots. Try any boots on in screwfix. This brand and the dewalts I also tried on both 9s were completely different sizes...
Had the scruffs black waterproof ones before. 2 pairs. Nice boots, very light but bit more expensive.

I used to have the Site ones, but now that I have DW I would never go back. These are much more comfortable.

Bought a pair of Caterpillar walking boots in about 2007 and gave them some serious hammer, climbed mountians etc.. decided they were getting a bit tatty this year so bought another pair. 6 months later, soles worn through no receipt, managed to talk the manager into giving me store credit. Only boots they had that I liked were identical to the last pair, ho hum at least I will get another 6 months out of them.

The original decent ones had an oil resistant sole these don't, lesson learned.

I bought a pair of Magnum Panthers from Black's. As well as having a incredibly naff name, I don't think they're very comfy.

If you don't need safety boots then Merrell or Salamon boots are very nice. I have Salamon for hill walking and Merrell for everyday. Merrell are more comfortable Salamon are more waterproof and lightweight.

Hyena from screwfix, way more comfy than the dewalts.

I was working down near Worthing three or four years ago and had to get a a pair sharpish as building control were visiting the next day. Got a pair of Scruffs brand boots from Wickes for about 40 squid and they have been (and still are) brilliant. And I have very large rather oddly shaped feet!

Thanks for the input everyone. Unfortunately the local screwfix has a poor stock and disinterested staff.

I ended up with a pair of these for under 60 quid from the local agricultural supplier.
