Is there a steelcapped boot that will double as a walking/cross country boot?. I need both but dont want to buy two pair. I dont want to be carrying an extra pair in the van. Ive had most boots, Olivers, Redback blundstone etc and couldnt wait to get em off at the end of the day.

Steel Blue have an excellent range & are possibly as comfortable as a Steel capped boot can be.
This link shows the Steel Blue Hiker Range & includes a few testimonials. Cost a few dollars more than some others but are triple stitched lasting for years.
No association, just happy customer..........

I also have a pair of steel blue. One of our jobs require us to have lace up boots.
I paid $149 which is very cheap for a pair of decent hiking boots. I love them, they are the most comfortable work boots ever. I have decided to ony wear them when on the one particular job and since I am a site manager on that job they will not get destroyed doing the hard work that they would do on other jobs.
I wear them out and also whilst doing photo work. hiking for 2 days around the Australian National Mountain bike circuit, they are incredibly comfortable. I also have a pair of dedicated Gortex Salomon Hiking boots and these blue steel are much more comfortable.
The only prob I have with them is when I kneel down to take a
pic the steel cap digs into my toes but I can live with that

I have been using the Rossi 703 Thor boot for some years now. Better comfort than most others I have tried including Olivers, Blundstones and Redbacks and they certainly last longer than the soft sole boots such as Blundstone.
I wear
mine about 10 hours a day on the
farm and they take a fair bit of a hammering. Dropped a
gate on them the other day, actually I was lifting it off and it hit the electric fence. Landed on my ar#$e and that hurt but the boots protected my feet.
The're good work boots and nice and comfortable.
I buy them from the local Co-op but they tell me you can buy them online.
Cheers
