I’m looking for a pair of work boots that are waterproof with a composite safety toe. I have been wearing Timberland’s for 15 years but the last 3 pair of “waterproof” boots I’ve had from them were not waterproof. I don’t have the patience for that nonsense.
I’d like to stay under $300 but am willing to go up to $400 if needed. 50/50 concrete floors and walking on shoulders in all weather conditions.
I can’t wear Red Wings. Don’t want to get into the reason. What do you like?

Twisted X. I'm the same in-that the Timberlands have gone down hill and I've never been able to wear Redwings either.

My son really likes his Ariat square steel toe work boots.

I like my Thorogood. Made in USA, sturdy traditional work boots. I did add a quality insole.

I am a Wesco boot fan.
Handmade and rebuildable.

This site might be a scam according to Iain Pintsize.

Try wescoboots.com. Without the dashes

I'm on my third pair of Danner Quarry's. The last pair lasted 4 years of everyday pounding.

Danner composite toe for the win. I have a pair that lasted 4 years doing industrial maintenance and they are beat up but still going. I am retired now but still use them mowing the yard, etc. Never had any work boots last me that long before.

Thorogood. All day long.

Double H are my go to nowadays. I recently just bought a new pair in fact (DH3567). I like cowboy style work boots. Made in the USA.

I stand by Keen work boots for my recommendation.

Composite Toe (carbon fiber), waterproof leather, comfortable soles... never had a complaint about my feet in these.

I wore Danner Quarry’s for 20 plus years, I just recently switched to a pair of Keens with a composite toe and have been extremely happy with them, I’ve only had them for 3 or 4 months but so far they are holding up well. They get muddy almost daily this time of year, beat up climbing in and out of equipment and trucks. I hose them off if they are muddy when I get to the shop and so far have remained waterproof, helped a crew on an 8” water break and stood in 4” of water for 3 hours and stayed dry. These are USA made..

I'm another Keen user for the last several years. I'm not in real wet conditions but they are comfortable and seem to last well.
Shop around online for the best deal as prices can vary widely sometimes even just by size.

Danners

I like Keen boots and right now Sierra Trading Post has a large selection discounted.

Before switching over to Red Wings, I wore Wolverine work boots. But the last time I wore them was 15 years ago, their quality may have changed.

I wore Redwings for years but the last pair I bought I just could not break in... I bought Throughgoods and it did take a while... month to break then in but am happy .... but not sure how water proof they are....

I’ve been wearing Keen boots for a while and like them a lot. I’m not a hard, everyday use, but they still look new. The prices at Sierra noted above look good but my type (Flint or Flint 2, steel toe, not waterproof) aren’t included.

Danners has replaced all others in the fleet.
