Work boots?
« on: April 23, 2014, 05:54:11 PM »
I'm in need of recommendations for a good pair of boots. My current boots are on there last leg and I need something in the mean while as I wait for my Whites to come. My price range is $200-300.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I do Utilites/Excavation. Steel toe is a must and  I would prefer a vibram sole.

Go to White's and see if they have some reconditioned boots for sale, if you can do it that way. Why wait for your boots, then spend another $2-300 on top of that.

I have a pair of White's Smoke Jumpers and I think it only took a couple weeks to get mine.


I'd go Redwing for a temp boot.

Georgia Boots, they come with vibrant soles. Really good boots in your price range

Thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna give whites a call in the morning and see if I could pick up a pair of refurb boots. Anybody have any experience with Danners quality lately? I've heard it's gone down hill.

Go to the redwing outlet in Bellevue. Comfortable boots in your price range and that have a wide selection.

I believe the Irish setter brand was bought out by red wing. Picked up a pair of their boots this week. Comfortable so far.

 I have only worn Danner's Super's Rain's for over 20 years of the same work you are doing. I'm sure there are other manufactures' out there, but my feet really like these.  If you are ever in Portland you can get them cheaper at the outlet. I am just never down there.

I'm on my eighth pair of Timberland Pro Titans. I haven't found anything else even close for what I do. I need a waterproof, safety toe running boot. At the end of about 10 months I've worn through the soles and rubbed the leather through on the toe box. But they're still comfortable. No other boot has lasted this long and been as comfortable to wear for 14 hours every day.
