Work boots are designed to provide safety features to safeguard your feet from the harmful elements present in the workplace.

Regular boots are constructed to serve as a pair of foot covering without special protective characteristics that will help a common field laborer for a secure working environment. So, think twice about wearing your regular boots on the job site. Yes, these boots are made for walking, but not all can withstand the pressures of tough jobs.

Your work boots' safety features should not be the only basis for selecting the best utility footwear for you. There are a few more aspects to consider when you buy the perfect work boots you need for your function at work. We at Construction Gear are delighted to elaborate on the common features of our work boots for men to make your shopping easier.

Durability of a leather material

A pair of leather utility shoes, like the Carolina 6" Amp Lo Wedge Sole Work Boots, provides undeniable resilience to any work environment, even when used for hours daily. Leather material is a well-known choice for durable shoes, especially if you intend to use them on fieldwork. You can rely on leather shoes to last at least two years. Premium-quality leather work boots can last six to seven years when they are regularly maintained, repaired and stored properly. Purchasing leather work boots is the best option if you're looking for value.

Lightweight and comfortable footwear

Wearing lightweight work boots alleviates undue pressure on the feet due to constant movement in the workplace for eight hours or more. This kind of safety footwear prevents foot fatigue and sprained ankles, knees, or back since its construction does not overtire the legs and feet compared to other heavier work boots.

Waterproofed boots

A field worker needs waterproofed work boots whenever it's raining, snowing, or employed in wet work areas. Construction Gear offers one of the best in the market with Wolverine I-90 EPX Waterproof CarbonMAX. These safety boots are lined with moisture-wicking mesh to keep the feet dry and comfortable. Blisters may arise due to the friction of your damp feet to the wet boots you're wearing.

Comfortable insulated utility shoes

Dress your feet in insulated protective footwear such as our Caterpillar Men's Diagnostic Hi Waterproof work boots during a winter day at the work site. They offer protection against winter hazards while providing more warmth and comfort to your feet. Your boots' insulation blocks cold air and moisture from getting into the boots and keeps the body heat within.

Know the benefits of your working boot's toe type

Do steel-toe boots really work?

Yes, steel-toe boots work, especially those graded with an ASTM75-pound-foot compression resistance rating that can hold out against 2,500 lbs. maximum compression. Steel toe protective shoes, such as this top-rated, most comfortable Timberland PRO Men's 6" Pit Boss work boots, are constructed to safeguard your feet from work injuries caused by the pressure of sharp and falling debris. These boots are designed to endure higher impact or pressured contact that you may likely encounter at rugged workplaces or during rough weather conditions.

The difference between a composite and moc toe

If you're working in sites that frequently use metal detectors or have electrical exposure, composite toe boots may work best for you. These work boots are constructed from sturdy non-metal materials such as Kevlar, plastic, fiberglass, or carbon fiber that also provide protection and resistance against harsh elements in your working space. Construction Gear carries one of the best composite toe work boots in the market through our Wolverine Overpass CarbonMax Waterproof safety shoes. Moc toe boots are those designed with moccasin-style stitching on the toe area. They may not have as many safety features as steel and composite toe shoes. Work boots with moc toe seams like the Genuine Grip Men's S Fellas Wheat Poseidon deliver better flexibility as you work those feet all day. Moc toe stitching make more room for your toes to move because of the higher walls it creates on the toe box.
