I swear by "Redwings" brand, worn them for 30 odd years, as Glasgow Guy says , you get what you pay for , you wear the cheap stuff long enough and you will have callouses (sp?) on your feet like horses hooves ,
just a tip , if you are doing any welding get the pull-on type , makes getting them off easier/quicker if you get a hot welding stub down them :eek: :eek:

i can understand the fact u have to wear shoes that match a certain standard but surely those shoes can be any make and model as long as they match that standard

do u have a union at work? if so deffo have a liason wiht them.

I've got a couple of pair of Timberlands that are very comfortable and meet all the nec. saftey ratings including for electrical. Having the 2 makes it nice to air out a pair every other day. One pair is no longer waterproof though as I cut into the steel with an errant chainsaw!:rolleyes:

Were they on your feet at the time? http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...milies/eek.gif

Re: Steel Toe Caps
 

, When i worked a t Lucas,s they provided you with a new pair every year along with new overalls,..It was not compulsary to wear the shoes ,but if you had an accident on your feet and wasent ,then you had no comebacks..simple as that.
I still have a few brand new pairs,,very smart too...i might dig them out.
