Quite a few here use co at ruction trainers.

 

Mine are by a brand called Tough Grit (someone is clearly a fan of the Two Ronnies crossword sketch), which is an own brand from a DIY shed I think. but others give theirs a harder life.

V12 Boots are very good and pretty reasonable on price - try Granite Workwear

[ToughButterCup]

Cofra : I'm hooked on them. Orchilla. Light, flexible, comfortable. 2nd pair in four years: worn for at least 300 days a year.

Available for £50 (here) or £150 (here). You couldn't make it up couldja?

Tool station have a range of boots. £35.

[Vijay]

Also look in Sports Direct. Costco have Dewalt boots for around £35

Not a fan of DeWalt tools per se but quite impressed with their safety boots I have to say. Light and comfortable from the off and so far hardwearing. Wide fitting too. I specifically search for wide fitting.

Understandable, given your profile picture.

Lidl workwear. Can't be beaten. Hard wearing. Comfortable and at 15£-19£ a real bargain

My walk boots- no. I'm just saying I came across a 'next step up' Italian boot make GRI Sport (having hd usual types found in UK & always failed in 2 yrs) which also do steel toe work types.. Id bet hands down they'd be just better made/ last longer, & for not much extra cost as this ^ seller has seconds. an ebay boots-bargain walking or work/ just thought it might be a handy link.
