Default Steel toe work boots - slip ons - what do you wear?

Wolverine
Timberland
Ariat
Tony Lama

Tony Lama's were really nice and insulated, but they're water resistant . . . which means sweaty feet, and that tears up the insides. They are by far the best as comfort goes, the heals have already worn out after 3 months - and they weren't cheap!

Same here. I tend to actually go for the wolverines. I prefer uninsulated even in the winter.

Thats all dad will wear, after 20+ years stomping around in steel toes


Ive really like the wolverines Ive had for almost 2 years. Bought them at academy, went to buy another pair, and they didnt have them anymore. Yea!
