To find the best work boots we put each pair of boots through a series of safety and performance tests. The Tester Once we had finished the wearing phase, we put each pair of boots through a series of safety and performance tests. The first was around traction. I built a 45-degree small ramp with asphalt shingles to mimic a 12-pitch roof, which is fairly steep. From there, I tried to stand up on the ramp in each pair of boots. We sorted each pair into one of three categories. Lowest was if I couldn’t actually get enough traction to stand on the ramp without holding on. Second was if I could step up onto the ramp unaided but then slip down a few seconds later. Highest was if I could stand on the ramp and stay put.
Our next test was a drop test. We filled the toe of each of the boots with modeling clay, and then dropped a 40-pound weight onto the toe from 22.5-inches in the air. This gave us the energy impact equivalent to the ASTM 175 safety standards, which is the highest impact rating in the U.S. Not surprisingly, all of the steel toe boots passed this test with flying colors. Also not surprisingly, this test showed the importance of not dropping 40-pound weights on your feet without steel toes. To find the best work boots for men, we tested nine of the most popular work boots available. After stress testing and wearing each for multiple days of yard work and in my woodshop, the Chippewa 55025 Hador Steel Toe Boots

Don’t be afraid to wear band-aids or fabric tape during the breaking-in period in places where it feels like blisters might form. And don’t think that uncomfortable boots will suddenly become comfortable after breaking in. If they’re not at all comfortable in the store, then they won’t be comfortable at home. Stiff boots will loosen up—painful boots probably won’t stop being painful. I can wear these boots for 14 hours and my feet don’t hurt. My feet feel like I’m wearing my fave sneakers.” One of the most important pieces of equipment to help make it through long, hard days is footwear. The boots you wear can be the difference between finishing the job or crying with your feet up when you get home. For anyone doing manual labor, whether for their job or at home, a quality pair of work boots is a must-have investment. Work boots should be comfortable, supportive, and durable—with all necessary safety features to keep your feet healthy. Considering the attractive styling and high construction quality of these boots, I think they’re priced fairly and would definitely recommend them.”

The first step was to break in and assess the comfort and fit of each boot. There are many strategies for breaking in boots, but we went with a tried-and-true method: wearing them. I tried to wear each pair of boots for five days, starting with an hour or two the first day, and then ending with some kind of multi-hour working session either out in the yard or down in the shop. As I wore them, I looked at overall fit, breathability, and support, as well as signs that the durability wasn’t up to snuff, such as leather peeling or stitches pulling. Safety is what keeps your feet intact. Fit is what keeps you on your feet. Quality, durability, and safety don’t mean anything if your feet slide around inside the boots. However, if you’re just looking for a pair of boots to mow the lawn on the weekend, then these safety features may not be necessary. A lighter, more flexible pair might be the best option for you. Fit Featuring innovative Contour Welt technology that allows the boots to flex and bend along with the natural movement of your feet, these rugged safety boots are designed with comfort chiefly in mind. The removable MultiShox insoles help to cushion your feet when out and about all day, while the mesh lining helps regulate the internal temperature.
These are not just really cool-looking work boots they come already broke in, comfortable and the leather is flexible.” Timberland is one of the top names in working footwear, and the Pit Boss steel toe work boots are a good example of why. They’re made of high quality, durable leather, provide plenty of support, and meet ANSI, ASTM, and F2892 standards for safety. What’s more, they’re one of the lighter pairs of heavy duty work boots that we tested, and never got uncomfortably warm. The antimicrobial footbed and odor-resistant interior help keep your feet fresh even after a long day at work. Most of the time, boots—especially those with natural material like leather—come out of the box stiff. If you try to wear them for eight or ten hours on day one, you’re going to wind up with blisters and sore feet. It’s well worth taking the time to break in a pair of boots before you start to use them in your regular day-to-day. emerged as the clear winner. They look and feel great, and offer the protection and traction that you need to make it through a full day’s work.
If you’re looking for a pair of durable work boots that'll perform day after day, week after week, and month after month, then you’ll be hard-pressed to do better than the Chippewa Steel Logger Boots. Made of heavy-duty leather, these work boots offer all the protection that you need. The steel safety toes are rated at the ASTM standards for impact and compression, and the soles feature electrical hazard protection to keep you safe even in certain dangerous conditions. Many reviewers point out that the Wolverine SR Direct-Attach 6″ Work Boots are relatively lightweight: The Ever Boots Work Boots were a major surprise throughout my testing. I fell in love with these affordable boots from the moment I put them on. They are comfortable, with a mix of flexibility and stability through the foot and up the ankle. The arches, which include a steel shank, are on the low side, but still provide plenty of support to wear comfortably all day. I experienced no uncomfortable chafing or blistering while I was testing these out. People swear by different methods to break in boots. Conditioning the leather with a product like mink oil is a great option. Simply folding, bending, and massaging the leather can soften it, particularly around the ankle and toes where the boot needs to flex the most. But the most reliable way to break in boots is to wear them gradually. Start with an hour, then two, then a few more, building up over the course of several days or a week. This allows the boots to stretch and form around the shape of your foot, which is the ultimate goal anyway.Quality footwear is critical to keeping you on your feet until the job is done. If you’re doing any kind of manual labor, the right work boots will keep you safe, supported, and comfortable. Safety They are a light enough weight that you don’t feel like every step is a battle like you can with some heavier boots or steel-toed models, but still heavy enough to give you confidence that it would take a punch (or nail) and keep the user safe.”
Above all, you want to walk naturally in your new boots. Anything else is going to drain your energy and leave you with sore legs and feet day after day. Break Them In Our final test was to see how rugged the sole of each boot was. I drove a nail through a piece of wood, and then tried to force that nail by hand through the sole of each pair of boots. Again, we separated each pair of boots into three categories: whether this was easy, intermediate, or difficult to accomplish. Here I was pleasantly surprised at how hard it was to drive the nail through any of the boots by hand. What You Should Know About Buying Work Boots These are by far the best boots I have ever worn. I’m on my third pair and love how light yet durable they are. ”Some reviewers also mentioned that the Wolverine SR Direct-Attach 6″ Work Boots do not need break-in: The toe box should have enough extra space that you can wiggle your toes. This will again allow circulation through your foot, and allow your toes the movement and flexibility needed to keep you balanced. Properly fitted boots should be snug around the heel so that your foot doesn’t move side to side. Your ankle and calf should be supported, but still able to move and bend as you walk. You don’t want boots to change your gait or put strain on your knees. And you certainly don’t want the collar of the boot to cut off circulation Wolverine is a globally known brand recognized for its excellent quality and incredible designs.
