Looking for Work Boots?
November 6, 2008 12:01 pm Random Reviews
I know a lot of guys out there like to wear work boots whether they’re working or not. Good thing there are companies that only specialize in them!
I actually came across one today called WorkBootsUSA.com. They have a huge selection of all sorts of work boots from companies like Caterpillar, Danner, Wolverine, Magnum, Timberland, and more.
It seems like not too long ago I would always see tons of guys walking around in their work boots all the time. i haven’t noticed lately, but has that trend changed? Any body else notice this a while back?
Well, either way WorkBootsUSA.com is a great place for work boots. Check them out!

Good call! I wish I could do that, but we have a no sandals policy. I guess too many people got annoyed with the ‘flip flap’ noise

I’m in search of a store that carries the Timberland Pro line of work boots. All I’ve found are a couple of styles here and there. Are there any work-oriented stores in the Portland/surrounding towns area that sell the line? I used to go to Work’n gear years ago, or just bought them in NH. Thanks.

Honestly I have no idea if there is a store up in the Portland area that carries Timberland Pro. Sorry, can’t help you there!

I could do with some good work boots just to wear out. I will still have a look even though I’m based in the UK. Thanks

It is tough to find good work boots that will stand up to some abuse. I tried Vasque and they were not good at all, but their parent company Red Wing stands up well to the work I do.

Good find. I’ve been looking for somewhere to buy boots online for a while and didn’t like the non specialized sites like zappos.

The best pair of work boots I ever got was from a consignment shop. Usually I have a rule about buying used underwear, shoes, and socks, but had to make an exception.

Now you’ve got me wondering, what kind of boots were they?
[Reply]
They are called “mountain gear”. By no means name brand. But still an awesome pair of boots.

Caterpillars / Doctor Martins / Etc used to be very popular in the UK for general fashion. Not so much now - probably something to do with a lot of the actual shoe manufacturing being outsourced to other countries now rather than being made in England. In Northampton / Wellingborough / famous shoe making towns in England, people would wear them because they worked for the company, or someone in their family did, or the company sponsored their local football/rugby team. So it had a kind of loyalty following all of its own. That’s the problem about outsourcing - the brand becomes a lot more anonymous if you lose the local followings. (from someone living in these areas of England!).

I had a pair of Cats once and they really held up for a long time. I know what you mean about outsourcing though, it can give a bad image.
