Boots tested: Timberland, Carhartt, Caterpillar, Skechers, Irish Setter, OUXX, Condor, Keen, Wolverine, and Dickies. Boots tested for dry traction, traction on oil, toe impact resistance, toe crush resistance, sole puncture resistance, leather puncture resistance, high voltage electrical hazard protection, and boot sole resistance to damage from hot surfaces. I bought all of the boots tested. So, thanks for supporting the channel!

    I have a pair of Keens, and they're the most comfortable boots I've ever had, not to mention, as a plumber, my boots are always getting wet on a daily basis, and they are the only boots I've ever owned that have never once allowed water inside the boot. I've been wearing them for about two years, and just guessing, I'd say they should hold up another year or more. Once these wear out, I'll buy another pair, and they should last until I retire.

    good gear costs money. I've worked construction/carpentry in Keens... 1st pair lasted a good amount of time, 2nd and 3rd pair barely a year: holes in uppers, threads giving out and the soles lugs delaminating. Never again. I had to switch to an old pair of redwing work boots from the late 80's. Guess what. They're great. Finally resoled them at Redwing for $175. Worth it.

Properly fitted they are comfortable the day you put them on. Just keep them out of wet concrete, that will eventually destroy any non-rubber boot . They can be purchased at some Army surplus stores, if you live near an Army base you should have no trouble finding them.

    I worked construction for 45 years. BY FAR the best pair of boots i have ever worn were bought from an army surplus store. Combat boots properly sized are comfortable the day you put them on til 10 or 20 years later when they wear out. Just keep them out of wet cement and they will last LONGER THAN ANY OTHER BOOT ON THE MARKET. They are a little pricy but well worth the money.

    I have had a pair of sketchers for about seven months now, and they are holding up very well. They are composite toe but the places I visit say they're okay. I like the composite because I don't have to remove them at the airport security, though they probably aren't as strong as steel. I was always worried if steel got crushed, it may trap my toes in the shoe, but it looks like they bounce back which is nice. In my industry, though, they are only needed by me to walk through work areas until I get to a lab where there aren't many drop hazards of heavy items, so they seem a good compromise. I too have had pretty expensive work boots which fall apart after six months and that sucks since I don't work with harsh materials / environments. The boots I had prior to the sketchers made my feet hurt and I ended up having to go to a podiatrist and get an injection in my foot. Size matters a lot!

    Something to keep in mind with boot cost is not only the performance of safety features, but the longevity of the boot through constant wear. This is especially important for anyone doing ironworking or concrete/asphalt. Those kinds of conditions will eat through leather and glue in a matter of weeks to months.

    When you wear boots all day, every day, cost isn't near as important as quality, protection and comfort. They're a tool and having a cheap wrench slip is no different from being sore from cheap boots. But more expensive isn't always better. Also from experience as a field service equipment mechanic, high ankle protection is important for working in rough terrain.

    I've been wearing steel toe work boots for going on 27 years, even still have some of my USMC issue boots (anybody remember the good times when you could have your boots retreaded ;)) In the last two years I switched to steel toe work shoes (getting old sucks, your feet getting old sucks more). One factor that is really difficult to test is durability and plain old comfort. My Keens, while comfortable, just didn't last that long... I was fairly disappointed as I'm nowhere near as rough on shoes these days. I bought a relatively cheap pair of Skechers, not knowing they actually made something other than teeny bopper shoes, and I must say they have really impressed me, they've outlasted the Keens, and are still comfortable even after 11 hour days.

    Doc Marten boots are priced for style, not quality. Especially in recent years the quality has taken a dive, but I wore them throughout my teens, going back a few decades and they were never tough boots. Comfortable for sure, and lightweight, so great if you're on your feet all day. But the uppers are thin, I've punched holes through the back of the heelcap just walking in the woods before now, and that's the thickest leather on the boot by far. The soles aren't terribly durable and a nail goes clean through them with very little pressure. Definitely fashion footwear rather than working footwear, especially the more recently made models. The Goodyear welt is about the only quality part of them now. I've never had a sole come away from the boot, in all fairness lol.

There are tons of other brands that make great boots and the majority of these boots just won’t be able to hold up to daily wear. I personally have a $250 pair of Irish setters I bought 5 years ago.

    @@Leafmate79 That's because the really cheap brands use a cloth "sock" and simply glue the shoe together, even though it may appear to be stitched. Thus far (about a year out), I've had pretty good luck with my Merrell Vibram-soled trail shoes. But yeah, Carhartt ain't what it used to be--and neither is Pendleton. Both brands moved production offshore with the predictable decline in quality. Used to be that the standard wintertime hiking gear included a Pendelton wool shirt--made from US wool in the US. Now, Pendleton is just a name... Could be that both marketing outfits figured that the memory of quality would fade and the public would be content with something that approached trash. Daddy left me with this sage advice that hasn't steered me wrong in the decades since he's been gone: "Never buy cheap shoes--they're not worth the pain".

    I used to have an “argument” with my Brother about boots. He would buy cheap boots and go through a minimum of two pairs a year. I buy Danners and usually get 5-6 years out of each pair. Yes I paid around $300 per pair but he was paying $40 a pair. $80 a year. 5years at $80 equals $400. He seemed to always have foot pain with those cheap boots while my Danners were comfortable from the beginning. I was on concrete 8 hours a day. Retired now and I have Danners that I bought 10 years ago as the agency I was part of bought us boots every year. I wear my Danner Fort Lewis boots for dress and my regular Danners for every day wear. I refuse to wear cheap boots.

Skechers shoes have by far the weakest outsoles of any shoes, sneakers, or boots that I've ever purchased.

    Another great video. I love the different tests you've developed . Really good to know what quality we're paying for. Cowboy/ work boots maybe sometime.

    It's nice to see a work boot that isn't made in Asian countries where the workers are generally treated horribly. There can still be workers taken advantage of in La Española of course, but much less so than Vietnam or China. I would like to see a lot more of these boots move production to León and surrounding areas of Mexico. I always try to buy leather from MX for both price and quality.

    Great video! Having worked in heavy industrial plants and fab shops, it was quite enlightening to see what boots held up. For me, if I'm on my feet all day around hot, sharp heavy stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to drop $500 on boots, if the boot offers good protection, was comfortable, and didn't leave me sore at the end of the day. Your reviews provide a valuable service to us. Thank you!

    Thank you! I just tried Keen boots for the first time and love them. Mine look more like high top sneakers than my old Redwings. Time will tell.
