what is everyones opinion of the best steel toed work boots as far as comfortability and durability goes. price is not an issue, and i would prefer black and they be the shorter ones, just above the ankle a little bit.
The work i will be doing is attending UTI for specialized diesel in Phoenix and want as comfortable as i can get being i will be standing on concrete alot.
Bates makes some really good boots I've had quite few pair. make sure that they are the ones made by wolverine durshocks
most are under 100 bucks

I wore Dr. Marten's ($90) for a long time because of my back. I switched to Red Wings ($139) this year because of some quality issues. I will be going back to Docs (hahaha Moze, Virgil, and Greg saw my last replaced pair) when these extremely high dollar POS's are retired. Since neither style is a boot or steel toe I guess I should have not posted.
ive got a pair of rocky hunting boots and love them! im sure their work boots are just as good. they only weigh about 3 pounds for the pair...

i heard someplace that the cat boots that are also made by wolverine are pretty comfortable.
and would also match all the machinery around our farm
I like wolverine boot very comfortable, by the way i went to UTI in AZ and took the auto diesel program back in 02 i here thier new campus is real nice.

Wolverines and Caterpillar boots are sorry-ass crap. I mean...really. You wanna limp the rest of your life? They sell Wolverines at effing Wal-Mart.
I only wear thorogood. the ones I wear are a low top and they go just below the ankle like a pair of tennis shoes. I dont have a lot to choose from because my job buys my shoes for me. and I can only choose from american made shoes, because I work for the military/goverment. the thorogood shoes are VERY comfortable to me and have held up very well.
That's what I like about the Bates, very light and last. I do most of my walking on steel and works on your back if you don't have a good pair of boots. If they only need to be a safety toe and not steel, they make them in fiberglass and they don't seem to be as hot or cold depending on the outside temps.
