ellir0305 9 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 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 atb rob Quote Link to post

bedrock 16 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 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. atb bedrock Quote Link to post

borntoshoot 1 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 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 Quote Link to post
