Steel Toe Shoes?

I wear timberland pros. Last pair I had before these lasted 3 years and that was with walking around 4 miles a day in them. They are around 100 bucks also.

You just can't settle for less than the best when it's a shoe you will be pounding the pavement in for 8 hours or more everyday.

Try 12-14 lazy basterds.

so i need some steel toe shoes for work now since im going to be unloading trucks at work. i just cant stand the feel of high tops so im looking at the lows. ill only be doing trucks two days of the week , so i wont need much support on my ankles , if any at all. i know they get pretty ****ing expensive , but i dont need all the high tech-ness on my feet. i was looking at these - http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_06786321000P but theyre out of stock and the store doesnt carry them for some reason. we do have these in store and i tried them on and theyre pretty comfortable - http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_06782304000P
any other brands i should look into?

redwing X 10000000000000000000000000 x infinity

yeah if you cheap out you may find the steel toe piece cutting/rubbing in/on your foot. I think I paid $150 for my Redwings and they were worth every penny (10 hour days) but its nice to get out of any boot, I usually took em off on the way home //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Also working nights ftw, always a nice drive home at 430am (that was last summer though)

You work at Sears too?

go to walmart and buy the steel toe tennis shoes. they are like 20 bucks, last like 7-8 months and i wore them 6 days a week.

I have a pair of high top Dickies. I can't imagine them being best quality boots ever, but they were a good buy at like $40 when I got them. I've been wearing them for 3 weeks and I find them sufficient in comfortableness most days.

I would highly advise against anything like Wal-Mart boots. Take care of your feet and you'll be a much happier person at work.

I'd still try and hit up a sale at Sears or the local boot store rather than deal with Wal Mart boots.
