Best non chainsaw work boots?

[KnotSure]

Got a set of Grafters steelies that have lasted me 3yrs of pretty regular use. Were a damn sight cheaper than the Cats which were the other option when I got them

I should hope so to at that price:lol:

 

I thought that too, thats about 3-4 pairs on my usual budget

Bought a pair of Grafters last year - laces snapped after a few months, insoles lifted after about 7 months and then got a split in the heal right through to the other side which let water in. Went for a replacement pair of boots in March;unfortunately only Grafters felt comfortable so for £35 went for another pair. Have replaced the laces (with a pair from Jack Wolfskin trainers I wore for nearly six years and then put in the previous pair of Grafters) already and now the insoles are lifting out again. I will not be buying another pair.

The only trouble with cat type boots is they are useless in wet grass, the leather soaks it up ans you get wringing wet socks and the boots take an eternity to dry out! Other then that they are tough.

I have got a pair of Cats but I cant wear them for long as make my legs/knees ache

To be honest these days I just wear my wellies when I'm not doing chainsaw work, they are the dunlop puroforts- about 50 squid a pop but they really are the most comfy wellies ever so supple and comfy sole. No more wet feet, job done!

Amblers.From my local farm store.Steel toes and i think a sole plate.Had them a few years now and apart from them being cheap, i cant remember how much i paid exactly.They`re not daily wear as i use various boots , but they`ve stood up to a lot of useage with no splitting, cracking, etc.I do look after my stuff though.
