Afternoon everyone,

I'm looking to invest in better footwear - I always prefer solid shoes over boots becuase they don't rub my ankles as badly.

Think the wide fit would be a better size for me and they'd last. I'd rather pay more than need another pair soon down the line. Anyone on here have preferred brands or sizes that suit them better? I always struggle with the right footwear.

Thanks,

Chris

If you don't need steel then consider hi tec magnums. Canvas ankle won't rub at all.
 
Recently got these as normal trainers don’t last long at all. And boots are just too bulky for plastering.

That's why the hi tec is my choice of boot. Looks like a boot and feels like a trainer.

I'm not saying I'd f**k someone off for wearing tatty old trainers but I'd still think you looked like a pikey and depending on other things, it might cost you the job.

That's why I wear boots, a hi Vis jacket and proper work trs.

Same they could kiss my big hairy ass
 
I take work boots seriously. The sole has be steel lined as well as built in shock proofing. I always wear quality insoles help cushion shock.

I broke a small bone in foot after slipping off the bottom rung of a ladder years ago and it is giving me grief in the colder months so a lesson taught there.
 
Get some broges! The more details the better and don’t forget to tuck your traggy bottoms into your socks! You will be the coolest guy in the room guaranteed (y)
 
I always have extra insoles now and to be honest I love my rigger boots :D one of teh most comfortable boots I wear. Like rigsby I have to have a steel sole and toe caps and that is because I do a lot of work with metal so it is essential :D
