Product Information

With a name like Poseidon, you’d expect something like a Wellington boot. While that’s certainly not the case here, DeWalt is still offering us a water-resistant safety boot, with a build rugged enough to live up to its namesake. That’s not to say DeWalt doesn’t spare a thought for aesthetics, as their Rigger boots sport rugged good looks that wear hard. Featuring a brown, full-grain leather upper, joined by a rubber outsole, the rigger offers coverage and resistance to oil and chemical exposure. The Goodyear welt makes it simple to replace the soles once they’ve worn out, allowing you to get a lot more life out of those high-quality uppers. The FS7 has a durable steel toe cap, and unlike the Holtons, there is extensive mid-sole support here. The lacing structure reduces pressure points on the ankle but offers the required support at the same time. They’ve come up with a range of “trainer-looking” work safety boots that incorporate steel toe caps, and the Twister Sport trainers are one of them. But their strength doesn’t make the Scruffs Twisters uncomfortable. Far from it, in fact. Thanks to the PU sole that merges into rubber, these are some of the lightest work boots available in the UK. And the comfort they offer is elevated even further thanks to the padded tongue and upper part of the boot.

Safety-wise, you get the usual steel toe cap with a 200J rating. The overall safety rating for the CAT Holton work boots is S1 P SRA. Safety boots aren’t just a nice thing to have, they’re often a requirement at the workplace. And no manufacturer knows the demands of the workplace better than DeWALT. The primary advantages are enhanced electrical resistance, greater thermal insulation, and invisibility to metal detectors. Of course, TPU also makes for a much lighter, more walkable boot for those of you who need to hoof it several miles per day. And don’t fret, you won’t wear these boots out any time soon. That’s because they’ve got a chemical-resistant, oil-repelling, anti-static, and 300-degree heat resistant sole.Below, we review the seven best safety boots from industry leaders, DeWalt 1. DeWalt Titanium Safety Boot

Remove debris from the treads. Unless you’ve got a welted boot, the sole is usually the first thing to give out. You can extend the life of your soles by removing any nails, pebbles, dirt, or debris from between the treads or under the insole. Left in place, debris increases the amount of strain the rubber must endure, wearing them out faster. Their boots are priced higher than average, and the focus here is on design and comfort. If you’re looking for the cheapest work boots possible, Dr. Martens are probably not the right brand for you. If you’re a fan of UK companies, then Apache is another work boot brand you should look into. They’ve been creating quality workwear for the construction industry since 1999.If you’re looking for a good set of women’s work boots with ankle support, there’s a good chance you don’t have the budget to buy the CAT Holton. If that’s the case, your next best bet is the Amblers FS7. Typically, the focus here is on comfort, which usually comes at a cost — Timberland are some of the most expensive work boot brands on this list. Work Boots, Or Rigger Boots?

For starters, Camden’s steel toe actually exceeds the American ATSM standards, and will effectively guard your feet against all manner of kinetic damage. Similarly, they meet U.S. testing for electrical protection vs. open circuits. It’s also important to be aware that the Rigger’s rubber insole has not been tested for heat resistance. If this is important to you, the Goodyear welt allows for HRO sole replacements. But, you might be better off considering another boot, as well. The shaft covers the instep of the foot, and is typically where the lacing eyelets connect to the boot. While this is a general term to describe how a boot is made, the industry often uses it as a term to specifically denote how the uppers join to the sole. There are three primary methods used in boot making:We’ve already recommended a tonne of comfortable work boots here and explained which ones work best for what. Polyurethane is an organic polymer, and a common alternative to EVA midsoles. Unlike its softer counterpart, PU retains no shape memory, and doesn’t really compress much. While this is a less comfortable, less cushioning material, it’s far more durable. TPU Finally, we come to the Camden, DeWalt’s answer to anyone looking for industrial footwear that doesn’t look too bulky or technical. Camden may be easy on the eyes, but they’re tough against the hazards which threaten your feet on or off the job.
