The company I’m going to work for says gotta wear steel toe boots, oil resistant, with a heel and should be waterproof. It’s down south so its gonna be hot on a steel deck. I like the slip-on wellington type boots and thinking about a pair of Justin boots, but I’m looking for opinions… what do ya’ll…

Dr. Martins Wellingtons are comfortable, but for all around protection go for Dr. Martin Outland riggers. They have an electrical rating, are water proof, light weight, and comfortable, all without being hot.

Ariat composite toe . Very lightweight. They have pull on styles. I wear a lace up.

Check out [I][B] wolverines [/B][/I], I have had two pairs now, one was waterproof but also thinsulate insulated, steel toe, steel shank and electrical rating. Still got em after about 5 years of hard use. Only problem is they are hot as hell anywhere that is not freezing, even in 30 degree winter w…

Try KEEN BOOTS . Best I’ve worked in.

Red Wings. Made in America. Hands down best/ most comfortable boots I’ve worn

Red Wings are very nice no doubt, but also pricey. My personal faves & the ones I wear onboard are the slip-on Georgia Boots. Comparable to Red Wings for less coin. If you need waterproof, go with Georgia Boot Mud Dogs.

Dr. Marten’s are superior to most anything, especially for the price.

Can anyone tell me if the composite toe boots fill the same OSHA requirements as the steel toes?

I am very partial to the Red Wing slip on boots. They seem to last forever.

I have the Dr Martine Outland’s as well and really like them. They have great ankle protection if you’re prone to hitting your ankles on stuff like I am.
