I’ve worn the V12 dealer boots for years but current pair are buckler. Wasn’t as comfy to begin with but now they’re really good.

Used to wear riggers but didn’t do my feet any good at all.

I'm pretty sure this thread wasn't intended as a turn on... but men... thank you so much for wearing work boots. Because obviously it isn't anything to do with safety, or comfort, or in fact you at all. You do it because it is sexy

Had several Dewalts, always comfy, dry and hard wearing. Alternatively, you could be a bit kinky and look at some DM’s

If you prefer trainers, did you know Sketchers do toe caps? I might be trying those next as my normal pair are rather good

Another +1 for DeWalt here, I've had my suede boots for ages, although I only use them for gardening these days, also Englebert Strauss, although I don't know how waterproof they are as I only work inside.

I’ve just bought a pair of redwing rigger boots to replace my old pair of riggers.

A lot better fitting and no wool style lining, I was going to try them out marshalling on Sunday but the race tracks flooded and the cars will wreck it so got to wait till next race meeting. But from wearing around the house, they seem decent
