Thread: Need new work boots

  1. #1

    Default Need new work boots

    I'm on my feet quite a lot at work and need to get myself a new pair of work boots. My current pair of Hi-Tecs are getting old and worn out.

    Any suggestions on ruggid but comfy boots, and where to get them in the PTA area, would be appreciated. They don't have to be steel capped. Price not really an option but R1k5 is about where I'd draw the line unless you have a really good reason for me to get them.

    so what do u do? Behind a desk? Manual labour? Depends on the type of activities you do.

    When you get new shoes I would also recommend Walk-Fits (or something simiar) Walk Fit orthotics have been proven to eliminate posture problems, foot pain and leg pain! Not just for people who have problems ( correct pronation of the feet).

    I alternate from behind a desk to on a production line. All I'm looking for is something comfy for those times that I spend a whole day walking around on the production line.

    I bought safety boots from Builders Warehouse. Steel Toe capped and oil resistant. Pretty comfy.

    Afrox also has gear shops, where you can get executive looking safety shoes.

    Can also try Hitec factory stores. They have some options as well.

    Or GFox, but I don't think they have any distribution shops.
