Comfy boots ...... again.

[Dukes Fit]

Spending all day on my feet is getting sore. A few times after a long day I've woken up the next morning and my feet are tingling and still sore.

Definitely no dealer boots so Redbacks etc are out, I already have a pair for normal day to day stuff.

Looking for a high leg lace up, ideally with side zips and must be safety toe.

I dream of a safety boot with the lightness and comfort of a trainer, tried Dunlop safety and the sole was nice a soft but just the wrong shape for my foot.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Strauss Direct are a good company to deal with; they have some great boots and also a lot of safety trainers/low boot options too.

I had some Trojan boots a year or 2 back, Lace up with side zip, very comfy and fairly light, swapped to dealer boots now as i cant burn the laces on them [emoji16]

Another vote for Strauss.
I wear their Kastra boots; very comfortable, waterproof, and the snowboard-style ratchet tightening mechanism is quicker than laces, more secure, and one-handed.

I have some lace up Redbacks. They are the most comfortable boot I've ever owned.

Buckler buckshot very comfy.

I've got some DeWalt Titanium (a just a name, there's no titanium in there!) and they're great, feel just like walking boots. Not cheap compared to some but got to be worth it for the comfort, as long as they last a while.

Thanks for the advice, I've seen a couple of high lace up boots on Strauss that I'll order to try, also looking at Red Wings
For the moment I've a pair of gel insoles and a pair of memory foam insoles that I bought when Sports direct was closing down about 6 years ago .... one of those "These will come in handy one day" moments.

@Agrispeed I bought a pair for my Dad when I was in Oz and he says they're fantastic but they're not safety boots.

Mine are, but I'm not sure what they are. They're quite heavy, but have a very good insole and are quite bouncy, so you don't notice it so much.

I use womans gel sport insoles in my wellies, as they seem to be the most comfortable . They are bright pink though...

They won’t be steel toe cap but for comfort and water proofing some of the hunting/shooting boots would be better

I wear ‘No Bull’ boots here from MVF , comfy enough to wear all day .

I've got Hanwag Tatra tops for shooting and they're the comfiest boot I've worn. If Hanwag or Meindl did the same boot with a safety toe I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.

V12 rocky boots. Very pleased so far.

@Farmer Roy is correct the Oliver's are the nicest boot to wear. I got a pair last year and wear them everywhere .

 

[whindy]

I find the best way to get comfy boots is to buy some good quality insoles .get them off Amazon not that expensive
