these are good boots Scruffs Tornado 4 | S3 ACTIV HEEL Safety Boot

I love Dr Marten boots as well, have had NON safety dm's on and off since school days and will always have a pair till amongst my shoe collection, but now im starting in the trade my old man got me a pair of Timberland Pro slitrock safety boots from screwfix....comfy as hell and light too....would never know they had a steel plate in the sole. I will probably still add a pair of safety dm's to my collection at some point though.

As sad as it is, this is actually a sore point with me at the mo! Bought a pair of hard wearing trainers, they lasted about 10 weeks. I then decided steel toe cap was the way to go, bought a pair of steel toe trainers on the 23rd Sept and they are already falling apart!

It's always on the toes, kneeling down the toes always rub on the floor which just chews up the stitching. I'm gonna try wellies or flip flops next.

Flippers always go down well

I always wear steel to caps, last couple of pairs have been de-walt, and they seem ok, just need to make sure the toe caps are wide enough to be comfortable.

Dickies Epsom for me

 

[Glenwils]

Dewalt ones for me. Last about a year. comfortable too.

I bought these the other month from Screwfix, only £35, still on offer, well worth the money, need to be broken in for a week, which is the downside

ordinary waterproof hiking trainers for me like merrell.
had a pair now for 2 years.

my dewalts with toe cap lasted 14 months and i am light on my shoes as only domestic stuff.

Engelbert Strauss for me. I have very wide feet and struggle to find footwear to suit.

Thanks for the replies guys, I much prefer to wear steel toe cap boots but was working with the old man in a roof space and he said how am i supposed to feel the joists with the boots on which makes sense, too many too chose from:rant:, obviously if i was working on site it wouldnt matter!
