steelys


Recommended Posts

i am doing countryside mnagement at college and i have to wear steel toe capped boots for all of my practicals. so what i need is a good strong budget pair of boots which will keep my feet warm/cool in the appropriate conditions and nice and dry from the weather. also be comfortale to wear all day

 

does anyone have any recomendations?

 

i tried every single pair at mole valley and found a really comfy pair of doc martins but they were made of a meshy typed material like trainers which i thought would be aboutt as waterproof as a towel

 

thanks

go to sport and ski, got a pair of size 8 karrimore safety shoes for £35, i wear them camping with my mates because if we go out in the morning and the ground is covered in dew i find my feet dont get wet at all.

 

forgot to mention they didnt get wet untill i stood on a red hot bit of metal sticking out of our campfire for 5 mins :doh:

I go through a lot of stealys and I am currently using timberland pros witch are ok. the best advice I can give you is you get what you pay for the cheap ones fall apart in no time. Macro has a good selection of work boots if there’s one near you.

i have karrimore shoes and walking boots and they are nice and comfy (shit laces though) i might have a look into that but whats sport and ski.

 

we have jjb, sports soccer, lillywhites and tony price down here but i dont think they do steelys.

 

if not i think i will get on down to toolstation and get some of these my bro has some and they are ok but not waterproof

yeah, i took the laces off because they snapped after about 3 weeks, but also the steel is now showing on both but thats because i did bricklaying and was always scraping crap off them and i also for some reason decided i was gunna stand at the bus stop kicking the curb with the top so it pissed of some annoying year 8's

i dont know i have some but they are rubbish and uncomfortable so i need some new ones because i will be wearing them most of the week and my other ones are for work which is in a kitchen so i cant really use the same pair
