I've been wearing ceveral types and brands of safety shoes at work and they all seem to be killing my feet. Not to mention the fucking sweaty feet and smell.
The weird thing is that these shoes should be quite comfortable for work. I've had cheap steel-toe ranger-style boots that walk better than these bitches
I was wondering what brands you lot wear?
I have a cheap pair I got at my last job and a pair of Blackstone's.
I'm even considering buying some DM safety shoes. Not only to look ultra-sussed when driving a forklift, but also because I guess they walk a lot better with the nice sole and everything...

Just get some inserts and save the $ of new boots.

I use Brynje. They're ok, and I've had mine for two years now. But if they break I just get new ones at the factory.

Ive got a pair of 'snap-on ' which come in a high cut,military style.
They are very comfortable[with jell inserts]
Though my company pays $150,every year for a new pair,so will get a shoe,style as as they are very hot in the summer months.

blundstones. My dad wore blundies for 20 years in the steel industry, and i have worn them since i was 8. Awsome boot, very sturdy construction. I have had my current pair for over 3 years, and they are fine.

Redwings are great, but my pair of loggers are just too heavy to wear when I'm on a 14 hour shift.
So I usually go with a pair of Dexter work shoes. They were a little expensive, but my feet never sweat in them and though my feet still get sore, it's nothing like those cheap $20.00 Wal mart brand work boots.
