why do you need steel-toed boots in an office? the only time i've seen that is at construction or engineering firms where office workers occasionally have to go into the field/job site.
- douche 11y agoThey are very comfortable, with good ankle support. Also well insulated, for the five months out of the year when it is below freezing or snowy. I also don't see the point in spending the money on another pair of "fancy" boots, which are generally not very well constructed, or fitted to my feet, when I have these[1], which are tough-as-nails and reasonably good-looking if you keep them clean and use a little polish once in a while. Yeah, they are kevlar-lined chainsaw boots - I actually use a chainsaw on a regular basis, and having a real pair of safety boots is pretty much the absolute minimum level of safety equipment. Even if you know what you are doing and are careful, you can fetch up on something and the saw can kick back. Chainsaw cuts are extremely nasty.

- mcv 11y agoI don't need them, but I do need something on my feet, and these are comfortable and durable, and I think they look better than the sports shoes many other people prefer to wear. (Of course they wear those sports shoes, despite not working out at the office, because they think those are more comfortable.)
