Good workboots, for being on concrete floor all day
Do any of you guys work on your feet and have any good suggestion for boots that arent a beating to wear I went back to being a mechanic again and am on my feet all day so I need some good boots, I have been wearing my asics but they are a bit too soft, is there a cushiony supportive boot? Kinda ironic I guess to be cushy and firm but that seems like what I need.
thanks
thanks

I work on concrete all day and I have some WORX steel toes that are like shoe/boots. They are comfortable like shoes but have steel toe and oil resistant soles. I got them from red wings store cause thats who our company buys from.

these are the ones I have

may not be the best looking thing but they are comfy. Far better than being in an actual boot. I am on my feet 10ish hours a day and they are great.

I have a pair of Dr Martins w/ steel toes, they are pretty comfortable and durable. I think they handle oils fine (dealt with this before).
Ive heard Red Wings are good too.
With any boot, you gotta break em in before they feel good!

Haha, I got like 3 pairs of NIB Dr.Martens in my closet. I need to get my other pair, Im overdue.
Really though, they look great, but suck for comfort. Best I would say are these, very lightweight and comfortable. I would say wolverines 2nd. All others ouch.

All look good, those you posted Xplicit, they look real comfortable but are they supportive like a boot, I have never really worn actual boots to work always low rise tennis shoes, basically always running shoes, so im wondering if a boot is better or worse for the long day standing? And as stated above about shoes being heavy, that is something that bothers me, when a shoe is heavy, so thats another reason I am asking for suggestions on boots, should have put that as a concern also.

I had a pair of Dr. Martin steel toe work boots and I loved them. Look into the MUD DOG at Cavenders or equivalent store. These can take a beating and a bit cheaper than DM.

I enjoy the Mud Dog. They are pretty comfortable for a very stiff contruction on the bottom. If anything you can change out insoles for a better fit. Red wings are a great choice but pricey. Go to any store near you and just try them all.

LOL I graduated in mesquite then moved to rowlett, I found the mud dogs at academy there off town east for 89, there is also a cavenders on town east. So I am gonna go here in a minute and look at them. I live in rowlett, let me know when you get back a buddy and me are gonna go to redline raceway in about two weeks or so, maybe we can get a little group together.

Oh, unless you want to plan this trip 2 years in advance I won't be making it out there to redline. I actually lived right next to Bass Pro in Garland before joining the military. Unfortunately I am stationed in Virginia for another 2.3 years. I was home about a month ago for 5 days. When I get out and move back we will be relocating to somewhere a bit nicer like Frisco, Allen, Plano, Collin County. Anywhere but Mesquite and the surrounding area.
