Boots tested: Timberland, Carhartt, Caterpillar, Skechers, Irish Setter, OUXX, Condor, Keen, Wolverine, and Dickies. Boots tested for dry traction, traction on oil, toe impact resistance, toe crush resistance, sole puncture resistance, leather puncture resistance, high voltage electrical hazard protection, and boot sole resistance to damage from hot surfaces. I bought all of the boots tested. So, thanks for supporting the channel!

@tommyjamesandtheshondells4095 Год назад

I've been wearing keen boots for years. I'm on my feet 60+ hours a week. And a pair usually lasts about a year. And they feel comfortable straight out of the box. They may cost more, but I'm willing to pay more for comfort and safety. The last pair I bought was actually made here in the USA.

@Gibsonfan1989 Год назад

@eyellgeteven9928 Год назад

I have a pair of Keens, and they're the most comfortable boots I've ever had, not to mention, as a plumber, my boots are always getting wet on a daily basis, and they are the only boots I've ever owned that have never once allowed water inside the boot. I've been wearing them for about two years, and just guessing, I'd say they should hold up another year or more. Once these wear out, I'll buy another pair, and they should last until I retire.

@Fortuna_716 Год назад

Yessir, I love Keen boots. I wore a pair doing demolition for 3 years and I could've kept going. The toe box is wide and very protected, I was stomping through demo rubble and never once hurt my feet. I tried a pair of timberland pros and I absolutely hated them, way to narrow at the toes and very uncomfortable compared to keens

@etienneleclerc3492 Год назад

I think you missed the most important test - the wear test. Hard to test though. Failure point on my boots have varied. A quick test might be bending the toe over and over, but a long term data tracking endeavor is needed on many fronts to get a good idea.

Comfort also can change with wear, in my experience Sketchers comfort goes away and Caterpillar stays comfortable until worn out. In my job I was on my feet all day at a grocery store, about 4 hours on tile and 4 hours on cement in the backrooms, and Caterpillar has very good durability for me.

Combat boots properly sized are comfortable the day you put them on til 10 or 20 years later when they wear out. Just keep them out of wet cement and they will last LONGER THAN ANY OTHER BOOT ON THE MARKET. They are a little pricy but well worth the money.

Something to keep in mind with boot cost is not only the performance of safety features, but the longevity of the boot through constant wear. This is especially important for anyone doing ironworking or concrete/asphalt. Those kinds of conditions will eat through leather and glue in a matter of weeks to months.

@TheKnobCalledTone. 2 года назад

@kayoh3423 2 года назад

I've been wearing steel toe work boots for going on 27 years, even still have some of my USMC issue boots (anybody remember the good times when you could have your boots retreaded ;)) In the last two years I switched to steel toe work shoes (getting old sucks, your feet getting old sucks more). One factor that is really difficult to test is durability and plain old comfort. My Keens, while comfortable, just didn't last that long... I was fairly disappointed as I'm nowhere near as rough on shoes these days. I bought a relatively cheap pair of Skechers, not knowing they actually made something other than teeny bopper shoes, and I must say they have really impressed me, they've outlasted the Keens, and are still comfortable even after 11 hour days.

I have had a pair of sketchers for about seven months now, and they are holding up very well. They are composite toe but the places I visit say they're okay. I like the composite because I don't have to remove them at the airport security, though they probably aren't as strong as steel. I was always worried if steel got crushed, it may trap my toes in the shoe, but it looks like they bounce back which is nice. In my industry, though, they are only needed by me to walk through work areas until I get to a lab where there aren't many drop hazards of heavy items, so they seem a good compromise. I too have had pretty expensive work boots which fall apart after six months and that sucks since I don't work with harsh materials / environments. The boots I had prior to the sketchers made my feet hurt and I ended up having to go to a podiatrist and get an injection in my foot. Size matters a lot!

Doc Marten boots are priced for style, not quality. Especially in recent years the quality has taken a dive, but I wore them throughout my teens, going back a few decades and they were never tough boots. Comfortable for sure, and lightweight, so great if you're on your feet all day. But the uppers are thin, I've punched holes through the back of the heelcap just walking in the woods before now, and that's the thickest leather on the boot by far. The soles aren't terribly durable and a nail goes clean through them with very little pressure. Definitely fashion footwear rather than working footwear, especially the more recently made models. The Goodyear welt is about the only quality part of them now. I've never had a sole come away from the boot, in all fairness lol.

Glad to know that my choice in Keen products is backed up on the review - I like them because they're comfy. Dying to see the Amazon review: _"Very disappointed in the quality of these Timberland boots. Walking out to my driveway in Phoenix, the soles began melting. I turned around to go back inside, stepping on a board, and a nail went right into my foot. As I tried hopping on one foot back to my front door, the toe fell right off the boot! I stumbled, trying to grab something to keep my balance. Unfortunately, it was an electric fence. I was electrocuted, and fell backwards onto the remaining toe portion of the boot, crushing it flat. Am returning. Cannot recommend"_

When you wear boots all day, every day, cost isn't near as important as quality, protection and comfort. They're a tool and having a cheap wrench slip is no different from being sore from cheap boots. But more expensive isn't always better. Also from experience as a field service equipment mechanic, high ankle protection is important for working in rough terrain.

@@Leafmate79 That's because the really cheap brands use a cloth "sock" and simply glue the shoe together, even though it may appear to be stitched. Thus far (about a year out), I've had pretty good luck with my Merrell Vibram-soled trail shoes. But yeah, Carhartt ain't what it used to be--and neither is Pendleton. Both brands moved production offshore with the predictable decline in quality. Used to be that the standard wintertime hiking gear included a Pendelton wool shirt--made from US wool in the US. Now, Pendleton is just a name... Could be that both marketing outfits figured that the memory of quality would fade and the public would be content with something that approached trash.

@ProjectFarm Год назад

@bradsanders407 Год назад

I'm in masonry restoration, and I have to agree. No boot compares to Timberlands. Something that may be hints of bias is he uses some boots top of the line version where as the Timberlands are their middle-of-the-road series. Also, on the rail drop test, if you look closely, some of the steel toes are getting hit more square than others. All the highest ranked ones were getting all of the widest part of the rail directly across the toe where the more poorly ranked ones were getting hit at more of an angle and farther out making the overall leverage worse and impact surface smaller which is going to cause more damage. I'm also not a big fan of not being able to see the entire setup of things like the traction test. Moving the fulcrum just a fraction of an inch can make a big difference. Whether these things were intentional or just overlooked or deemed too hard to get perfect makes me question the entire test.

@isustudent514 Год назад

I've tried several brands-- Avenger, Wolverine, Georgia Boot, and Danner. The Avenger was pretty weak, $90 and lasted about a year before the grip and waterproofing went away. The Georgia Boot was somewhat pricey at $180 and was a nice boot, but ended up being awful for my line of work. The Wolverine was only $50 so I expected it to be trash but it was actually incredibly comfortable; I ruined that pair pretty fast though since I was working around concrete at the time. My current pair are the Danners and they are really nice, but expensive at $200. I was planning to keep buying Danners but I may look into Timberlines since they seem to have positive reviews.
