Can’t wait to meet the finest pairs of work boots? Here’s all the 15 of them you’ve been waiting for.

Looking for a name that you can rely on for your next working boot? Well, what about trying a hand on the Second Shift P89586 Steel Toe Men’s Work Boot from Caterpillar?

It’s nothing new that whenever a brand like Caterpillar makes something, they push it to the peak of its performance. Well, it seems they’ve done the same thing with these boots as they’ve used breathable insole. Clearly, that one move is enough to have your foot all the required comfort for the whole day.

Hold on a second! We know you’re here for comfort in the first place. So, the P89586 comes with nylon-mesh lining which takes out the headache on comfort and breathability at the same time, just like the finest caterpillar boots. And what to say about extra stability and support. That’s what the Steel Shank of these safety toes boots does.

But what about the durability? Don’t worry, the Goodyear Welt-Construction got that part covered like a piece of cake, without compromising the flexibility of course. But to be honest, a big share of thanks for that quality oiled full-grain leather for ensuring that level of durability along with total protection.

From protection, we noticed these boots got Steel Toe protection as well. This means you won’t have to deal with compression and impact at least. The same goes for electrical hazard protection where these comfy steel toe boots can deal with 600 volts. That’s the beauty of its special EH-Construction.

Now the question is how they’ll do on the traction part? Thankfully, the makers have used T3-Rubber Outsole which has made these boots slip-resistant. So, if you’re asking for the optimal traction, we bet you’re going to get that here.

What We Liked (Pros)

• Goodyear Welt-Construction pushes the durability higher
• Breathable insole maximizes the comfort to the fullest
• T3-Rubber Outsole ensures total slip resistance over any surface
• Special EH-Construction can handle 600 volts of electricity

If anyone has ever told you that work boots have nothing to do with style, then they probably didn’t see anything like the EB611TAN Work Boots from EVER BOOTS. But is it only about style here? Hell no! 

It comes with Goodyear Welt Construction. So, there’s no way to doubt its durability. And comfort? The supersoft, nubuck leather is not going to take much time to break in and be the most comfortable boots for standing all day and work. 

But comfort has to do a lot with the temperature as well, right? Don’t worry; these insulated work boots got mash linings that won’t your feet get cold even if the temperature keeps going down. And they’re versatile enough to let you have the chance to put them on whether you’re working or out for a free walk. 

Besides, there’s no chance of you facing issues like fatigue as the makers have given the boot’s arch support of steel shank. So, you’ll have to deal with low or no pressure that can cause any kind of pressure. And superior traction? Well, we don’t see any chance of slipping even on uneven surfaces as it got the Tank-tread pattern and rubber sole.

In case you’re not feeling comfortable enough with the insole or want to put in some customized insoles, you can easily do that and get the existing ones out of these insulated boots. But what about the sizes? 6 to 14 – no matter which size you need, you can have it in your way. The same goes for color as you’ve got two color options to pick from.

The boots are waterproof too but not as we expected. They do fine in ice but when it comes to unfrozen water, they can’t keep the water out for long. 

What We Liked (Pros)

• Steel shank keeps the foot away from any kind of fatigue
• Goodyear Welt Construction has made the shoes more durable than ever
• Tank-tread pattern saves for you slipping on any kind of surface
• The versatile design can keep with any occasion including work and casual
• Insulated mash linings will keep the feet warm in hard cold weather

What You May Not Like (Cons)

• Not waterproof enough to prevent unfrozen water

Our Verdict

EVER BOOTS EB611TAN might not be too good against water, but when it comes to being safety footwear, they surely know how to pull that off.

If you’ve been keeping track of quality work boots lately, then there’s a higher possibility that you didn’t miss the Men’s Valsetz RTS 1.5 from Under Armour. But we can’t take the chance of letting you miss it.

The upper is the first thing that’s going to draw your attention for sure. After all, it’s a perfect combination of synthetic leather and updated textile. So, if you’re asking for booths that’ll be durable and lightweight at the same time, then count this pair in.

Even putting the fit in these boots is a piece of cake as Medial side zips make putting the foot in easier than ever. But for keeping the performance up to the mark, team Under Armour needed something a bit more useful. That’s why they’ve added the ClutchFit ankle support system that ensures total support to the ankle every time you’re putting them on.

The abrasion-resistant film around the shoes keeps the foot protected all the way. But that’s not the only thing the makers have done to keep the foot safe within. They’ve also TPU toe caps which will let nothing hit your toe and hurt you. On keeping the shoes perfectly fit the foot, the strong laces have done an amazing job there.

There’s a pull tab too on the back of the shoes, in case you’re facing a bit of difficulty pull on work boots. But at the end of the day, nothing matters more than comfort. Thankfully, the Ultralight Micro-G EVA midsole covered the part perfectly in these comfy work boots. 

What We Liked (Pros)

• Upper made of synthetic leather and updated textile makes it durable and lightweight
• The hassle on entry goes down to zero due to having Medial side zips
• ClutchFit ankle support system provides all the support you need
• TPU toe caps keep the toe protected from any kind of external impact
• Ultralight Micro-G EVA midsole keeps the foot in comfort for the whole day

What You May Not Like (Cons)

• The shoes don’t have any steel toe

Our Verdict

No, these are definitely not among the steel toe work boots but once you look at the pile of features they come with, it's going to be tough as hell to avoid them.

We don’t know why but somehow tons of people think that work boots have nothing to do with comfort. It surely sounds weird but it’s true. After all, not everyone had the chance to slip in their fit into work boots that are comfortable like the 77143 Burgin-Tarlac Industrial Boot from Skechers.

The prime purpose of these rugged boots is sustaining your rough work days but not without the proper construction of course. So, the makers didn’t mess with the construction but given them high-quality Full-grain leather upper backed by perfect stitching accents. So, no matter what kind of rough atmosphere you’re dealing with, they won’t let you down any sooner.

Rather than making you feel congested within, the boots come with enough room. Clearly, nothing is going to stop you from having a relaxed time while wearing these safety work boots.

And protection? This pair of steel toe boots is ASTM-F2412/2413-2011-I/75-C/75 rated. So, you don’t need to worry about impacts even a bit. Even the memory foam insoles they come with are puncture-resistant. This means no sharp object is going to reach your feet that easily.

But what about the electrical hazards? Well, the EH safe design got that part covered too. After all, it’s ASTM F2413-05 rated. By the way, the makers didn’t forget to add rubber soles in these rugged boots. So, even if you’re walking over any uneven surface, oil, or water, we bet you’re not going to slip and fall with these slip-resistant boots. 

The makers didn’t waste all their attention on making it tough only. They’ve given equal effort to make them comfortable work boots by lining them with soft fabric. A fair share of credit for that goes their padded collars and tongue as well.

What We Liked (Pros)

• ASTM-F2412/2413-2011-I/75-C/75 rating indicates total impact resistance
• Puncture-resistant insoles save the foot from external sharp objects
• EH safe design of these safety boots works like a wall against electrical hazards
• The soft fabric lining has made the boots more comfortable than ever
• Rubber soles made the boots fully slip-resistant over any terrain

What You May Not Like (Cons)

• Takes a little time to break-in

Our Verdict

If you're asking for nothing but the most comfortable mens boots, then you surely can count these on that list. But be ready to wait for 1-2 weeks of break-in period.

You already know about the material, so the durability is what you’ll never have to worry about here. But that’s not the only aspect that has made this amazing boot worth grabbing. This Tobacco Oil-Tanned leather is so breathable that your feet got no reason to suffocate while roaming over cement construction or any other hard surface.

What are the most comfortable mens work boots? Clearly, team Danner wanted to be their name as an answer to that question of yours. Otherwise, why they would’ve come with their Bull Run 6″ Brown Cristy 1-M work boot in the first place?

Made of 100% full-grain, oiled leather upper, this boot has turned into a perfect example of durability. So, your rough usage is not going to make much of a difference here for sure.

But durability is not the first thing the makers have put on their priority list, at least the Wedge sole is saying so. It seems you’re going to have any problem while walking on uneven or slippery grounds. 

Now the question is, will they be comfortable enough? Well, we wouldn’t have come up with that question, not at least after seeing the OrthoLite footbed that is full of cushioning. And what to say about the steel shank? It has given the boot a perfect structure that’ll never let you fall short on comfort and will make your feet sit within perfectly.

Besides, the abrasion-resistant construction can sustain any weather, no matter it’s wet, hot, or cold. 

Thanks to the TPU outsolefootbed which will keep shocks out your way by absorbing them. The comfort goes to a whole other with the Padded top collar. And lacing customization? The makers have thought of a solution for that as well which is called Dual-purpose top hardware. 

To deliver top-notch flexibility, we didn’t know Cement construction can be used so perfectly before seeing this work boot. On top of that, the moisture-wicking and breathable lining come with antimicrobial treatment to keep the odor in control.

The leather material used on these soft-toe boots speaks for the durability itself. So, harsh works are not going to be a reason for headaches here. Its KEEN.DRY waterproof membrane deals with water without sacrificing breathability. 

Team KEEN Utility doesn’t have a reputation for taking the protection lightly in their boots. Looks like they’ve kept that up by ensuring electric hazard protection in this pair. But the interesting part here is secondary protection which can save your feet even if the outsole comes in touch with any live electric circuit accidentally. 

Thanks to the rubber sole the takes down the chances of slipping. Apart from that, it’s clear that the makers have put a ton of their focus on making them comfortable and the thickly cushioned collar is the proof. The same goes for the tongue.

Like always, durability has been the number 01 priority of this brand and they’ve once again hit the right point with nubuck leather. This rugged leather upper not only will save your feet from external hazards for a long time but will also bring you all the flexibility you need.

Getting tired of seeing steel toe work boots again and again? Okay, then let’s give you a touch of exception with the Heritage Men’s Classic Moc Boot from Red Wing.

Using the premium Redwing leather in their creation is the signature move of this brand. Doing no exception to that, they’ve repeated the same move here and pushed the level of the visual appeal of these boots sky high. But that’s not the only thing that has hit the ceiling. Count the superior durability in too.

Thanks to the Attraction tread rubber outsole that you might forget about the word slipping right after putting this slip-resistant pair on. But when it comes to strength, the triple stitching seems to work amazingly well.

We know what you’re thinking! The cleaning part, right? Don’t worry; the easily cleanable leather surface is not going to make you put too much labor into the process. The oil-tan leather is water stain resistant. So, if you’re thinking that you might have to take a headache about that ever, then you better forget it. 

The one-piece leather tongue keeps accessing the feet easier without bulking up the entry point. But we’re not entirely happy about the toe box as it’s a bit narrow and might make you feel a bit suffocated if you’ve got wider feet. 

What We Liked (Pros)

• Premium Redwing leather is high visual appeal and durability
• Attraction tread rubber outsole eliminates the possibility of slipping
• Triple stitching over the construction has made strength level better 
• The easily cleanable leather surface makes the cleaning process easier than ever

Can you recall the name Under Armor? We guess you do! It seems they’ve come up this time with another piece of perfect wear, the Women’s Valsetz Rts 1.5 Tactical Boot.

It’s hard not to love an upper that is a perfect mixture of synthetic leather and updated textile. Clearly, this one feature is enough to make us declare this pair an example of superb durability. And guess what? It’s lightweight too.

Slipping the feet in this boot is a piece of cake that also makes the whole experience way more comforting. Thanks to the UA ClutchFit ankle support system for pulling that off which also gives all the support you need to keep them on. 

To save the feet from external abrasion, the makers have added welded PU film around the perimeter. Now let’s put some focus on what the makers have done to make your feel comfortable.

Women are more drawn to style compared to men. But for safety, they do need to let the style go at times. But team Caterpillar has tried to change that with Jace Steel Toe Work Boot.

The makers have simply used a bunch of materials like Mesh, Wool, Nylon, Suede, to give the construction of these work boots a different edge. But that doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten to add Steel Toe to ensure the foot’s protection against compression or impact. 

On the list of safety features, they’ve slipped Electrical Hazard Protection too where these caterpillar boots can easily withstand volts of 600 if the condition is dry. But in the effort of making it a lucrative pair, they had to put some attention over comfort and durability too. Clearly, that’s the reason for using Proprietary iTechnology Construction here.

Wool Upper/Split Suede too has been used here to deliver durable protection. And Nylon Mesh Lining? Well, that has eliminated the headache for both comfort and breathability. But what we liked the most is how team Caterpillar utilized Nylex Sock Liner for wicking away the moisture.

As these are safety toe boots, they’ll have to deal with shocks as well, right? Thankfully, the makers have nicely handled that aspect by PU Footbed which will absorb the shocks.

What We Liked (Pros)

• Proprietary iTechnology Construction pulls of superior comfort and durability
• Nylon Mesh Lining has maximized comfort and breathability
• Electrical Hazard Protection can handle 600 volts easily
•  Nylex Sock Liner helps in wicking away the moisture

What You May Not Like (Cons)

• The outsole quality could’ve been better

Our Verdict

With this work boot team Caterpillar has proved that they too can think out of the box with their creations. Clearly, that has made this work boot worth trying.

---

In the safety footwear industry, Caterpillar has always been prioritized quality more than anything and when we look at their creations like Women’s Kenzie Steel Toe Work Boot, we can’t help believing that. 

Like some of their finest work boots, team Caterpillar has given this boot a Full-Grain Leather exterior here that can pull off long-term durability along with protection. And for added protection against any kind of impact, they’ve added steel safety toe here.  

It’s hard to find a single pair of work boots where this brand didn’t meet Electrical Hazard Protection standards. Looks like following the same route here has made these work boots sustain a huge wave of electricity up to 600 volts, but that’s when the conditions are dry. But what we believe is worth more praise are the T1170 slip-resistant rubber outsoles that resist abrasion, oil, and water.

There will be no shortage of comfort as the PU-Foam Footbed will take care of that. On top of that, the Nylon-Mesh Lining won’t let the inner get hot with better breathability. But that can’t wick the moisture within, can it? No problem! The Nylex Sock Liner will do that for you. And if your prime concern is shock absorbency, then you can leave it on the Molded PU-Midsole

What We Liked (Pros)

• The full-grain leather exterior gives long term protection
• Nylon-Mesh Lining maintains a better level of breathability
• Nylex Sock Liner wicks the moisture away in no time
• Molded PU-Midsole absorbs major shocks while using the boots.

What You May Not Like (Cons)

• Doesn’t come in many color variations

Our Verdict

Caterpillar Women's Kenzie Steel Toe Work Boots are simply an arsenal of safety features. But these comfortable work boots do much more than just keeping the feet safe.

Indeed this one is the top priority while throwing a search party for the most comfortable work boots. But how will you figure that out in the first place? Well, look at the ASTM ratings first as they’re a clear indicator of the met safety standards while making the boots. 

Composite safety toe caps or Steel toe work boot

Toe protection hits to list of top concerns when it comes to picking working boots, especially for construction workers. To ensure protection on that part, both steel toe cap and composite safety toe cap boots work better than the other options. 

Steel toe cap boot is good at handling larger weights in case of accidental fallings. So, even if you’re working around heavy machinery, this working boot can deliver total protection. But if you’re asking for alternatives, then composite toe cap boot is the next best option that can ensure similar protection as steel safety toe. 

The best part about composite toe work boots is, it’s much lighter compared to steel-toed boot and doesn’t even get the user bothered while walking through metal detectors.

Comfort 

If there is anything that matters the most right after protection in a work boot, then it’s comfort. This part is actually influenced by lots of things starts from leather uppers, lining, insole, arch support etc. But what you have to check out is if all of that making the work boot a total package of comfort or not. So, what makes a work boot comfortable? Well, things like – 

Steel Shank

Having a steel shank can push the comfort level higher in a work boot. But how? Actually, the comfort is to a huge extent dependent on the posture and shanks help you in getting that. Besides, it saves from shocks of impacts as well. 

Cushioned Footbed

The right kind of footbed will save your feet from hazards like sweat or foot fatigue and will keep the interior comfortable for you. But make sure that they’re coming with sufficient cushioning so that you don’t fall short on comfort. Besides, they’ll have to be removable as after a certain period of time they won’t remain usable. 

Lining

When you’re asking for the most comfortable work boots for standing all day or working, the lining is surely going to play a crucial part in proving any boots as comfortable. So, before you take the leap of faith and buy a pair, make sure the linings are not coming between you and your comfort. Let’s play safe and try picking the one with soft fabric lining.

Insulation

Don’t ever think about grabbing a pair of work boots if they’re not insulated. Do otherwise and you might end up with icy feet in the cold weather.

EH Rating

If you don’t want to step on an electric wire and get yourself hurt, then check out first if the safety work boot is EH-rated or not. EH-rating indicates the level of electrical hazard resistance. The EH safe boots are made of non-conductive materials that can isolate your feet from the floor. It’s kind of a must for professionals like electric and construction workers.

Durability

No matter how many features any particular work boot comes with, it’s never going to be the best unless it’s high on durability. So, before you swipe your card, check out how long the boots are going to sustain. For that, have a check on the materials first. It’ll be better if you can go with something with solid but soft nubuck leather uppers.

Weight

You don’t want to feel like rocks tied to your feet while walking in your work boot, do you? Then make sure that the boots are weighing a ton. For lightweight protection, we’d say boots with composite toe caps will be a better option.

Waterproof

Always, yes always pick a waterproof boot. After all, you’re not a fan of boots that’ll soak wet in the rain, are you? By the way, just because we’re suggesting to pick boots with waterproof membrane doesn’t mean that you’ll have to compromise on breathability. There are boots on our list that can resist water but without taking out the breathability.
