What you talking about?

Blue Steel safety boots with zip sides......tie up the laces once a week!

Blue Steel safety shoes with laces, I'm mainly in the office but have to venture out into the factory quite often, boots are an overkill and I feel weird in them, the shoes are great as they actually look like any business shoe.

And yes, I'm pretty sure they come in men's before anyone asks.

The Dunlop Volley safety shoe is my go to. Comfy AF

They look it.

Have been wearing Puma safety shoes/boots for about 5 years now... best brand I've worn in the 20+ years of work

Boots I got right now cost me $250 for the pair even if I paid $500 I'm going to get at least 10 years out of them, with maybe $300 in heel/sole replacements over that period

I'm looking at $55 a year in work shoes or if I'd paid full tote odds $80 in shoes a year. With what I was previously doing I'm looking at $100 a year in shoes over a 10 year period.

What I've learnt over time is that buying quality is cheaper in the long run

Anyone got a suggestion for good comfortable black leather/leather look alike trainers that would suit hospitality? (ie look like dress shoes from a distance)
My New Balance shoes might need replacing soon, were very comfortable but slippery as **** on a wet floor which doesn't suit my job. How the hell I haven't gone arse over tit in the kitchen yet is beyond me, had a few close calls.

Apologies if replying to a mere tap jockey is below anyone.

I'm a prostitute on Hanson Road but working at a pub in Beverley is my front.
Picture Randy from Trailer Park Boys when he gets into his Smokie costume.
I do tricks for cheeseburgers.

How is the Dunlop volley a safety shoe?
Would barely protect you if you dropped a pen on your foot.

Or do they actually work as a safety shoe?

Not sure if you’re taking the p*ss or not?

No there is a safety version. Steel cap, and more heavy duty.

I'm wearing them right now.

What he said....not your standard volley and priced accordingly!

Cheers.
I’ll have to google it and get some for the one day a year I need them.

No, on the street mate. I only go to the pub to freshen up.
You should know that, I slipped my business card to you during our last "meeting".

Colorado Shoes are the only work shoes I wear. So comfy, stylish and they last ages

I’ve worn Blundstone & Rossi steel cap work boots, both excellent.

5 years..... it’ll be time to change your socks

Clark’s for me. Extra wide fit to suit my Bunyan
By a new pair of the same style every year, around £30.00

I buy Clark’s casual shoes, even brogues. Comfy as an be. All leather and the brogues are as good any
