1. Wolverine Legend Durashocks [Comfortable]

Wolverine Legend DuraShocks CarbonMax Boot
Shop Now

Overview

We’re generally very fond of Wolverine and their work shoes are impressive to say the least. They’re particularly comfortable and offer all the key features you’d want from work boots.

Key Features

Comfort is ensured thank to H-Plate suspension that returns energy as well as shock-absorbing compression sidewalls. Furthermore, they’re waterproof full-grain leather and feature a nanotechnology CarbonMax safety toe for a lighter and more ergonomic fit.

Best Colors

We really love the two-tone brown boots but they’re also available in a darker brown as well as tactical matte black.

Overview

Timberland are renowned for providing solid footwear for work. The Pit Boss is no exception as well as being a stylish Nubuck leather 6″ boot.

Key Features

As well as meeting the ASTM standards mentioned above, there’s a very comfortable open-cell polyurethane footbed with antimicrobial treatment. Thanks to their Pro 24/7 Comfort Suspension technology, you can expect all-day comfort thanks to a nylon shock diffusion plate and a Goodyear welt.

Best Colors

Whilst we’re fond of the tan Nubuck leather, you can also opt for either the black or brown options instead. Each are very stylish with that iconic Timberland appeal.

Overview

The most exceptional tactical boots that we’ve encountered, Timberland have surpassed themselves. Made with premium materials, expect the most protective and stylish high-quality boots.

Key Features

With the hazards faced by the military and emergency services, expect these boots to meet the majority of ASTM standards. Furthermore, these boots feature waterproof full-grain leather and ballistic nylon uppers, which are pathogen resistant. Meanwhile a composite safety toe provides protection whilst the moulded EVA midsole offers lightweight cushioned comfort.

Best Colors

Being tactical boots, it’s no surprise that these boots are only available in black. However, it’s unlikely that you’ll need them in another colour!

4. Irish Setter 83604 [Premium Work Boots]

Irish Setter 836046 Aluminium Toe

Overview

A utility brand owned by Red Wing, Irish Setter features some stunning and practical boots. We love the worn saddle full-grain leather and were impressed by the lightweight aluminium toe cap too.

Key Features

Besides adhering to the ASTM standards above, you can expect a steel shank for increased support as well as the aforementioned aluminium toe cap. Furthermore, a PU footbed offers all-day cushioned comfort. Similarly, there’s a Irish Setter’s unique ENDURANCE Arrowhead outsole for added traction.

Best Colors

Although only available in a deep Oxblood brown, we’re still in love with the worn saddle style that it creates. Even if there we other options, we’d doubt that we’d prefer them over this.
