work safety boots/trainers

[cook0505]

Can anyone recommend a hard-wearing safety boot (or preferably ankle trainer). I have worn Dickies and Dewalt in the past but they both lasted no time at all and were very heavy. Thinking about the new Mascot range with aluminium toe cap and kevlar midsole. Would prefer something a little bit lighter as I will wear them every day.

dewalt apprentice boots are excellent

At the moment I am wearing CAPPS LH513 if you google search they come up.

They are comfortable and light.

Scruffs.
Have a look at http://www.scaffold-towers.com/shop/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=catshow&ref=scruffs
Twister 2's are about the most comfortable i've found

i seem to go through boots like no-ones business. the toes often wear through the leather down to the steel. i thinkits mainly where im doing patio laying and pointing etc. Tried dickies, but if i get about 3-4 months out of them oim lucky. Currently on a pair of dewalt, which so far have been waterproof, and comfy. only into them about 2 months so the jury is still out!

For a trainer i've found these to be one of the best too, especially in terms of comfort. They only lasted around 5 months which is comparable to a pair of dewalt trainers I tried, but these are nearly half the price.

The best boots that I have ever had are Timberland Pro.

About £70- better quality, more comfortable and cheaper than standard Timberlands.

Steel toe- anti-torsion mid soles and rated at 500v (or at least the US imports are), lots of padding.

Quite heavy though.
