O/T Workboots.

Kev,

Ive never heard of them. Im vic based. Where would i find them. I would imagine with your back related issues, you would need a really good boot.?

Cheers David

Hi Kev, I also have Mongrels and have for the last four or five years. Bloody great, i also suffer from a bad back and find the high cut ankle ones put a little strain on the back. only last about two hours before having to change them. BUT the standard cut / height ones i have on for about sixteen hours a day, and you do not even know you have them on. never had any problems with them coming apart or lace holes ripping. I'm in the concrete industry so they get a hammering.
cheer Shane.

David,

Go to their website

Mongrel Boots

Then go to the Breeders link and from there you are able to find a local distributor.

I have the in the Sp range the 216 085 shoe as well as the 240 020 Slip on boot.

I have Blunstone slip on boots as well as Red back lace ups all in steel caps but prefer the Mongrels for comfort.

Cheers Kev

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

Problem is Nick elastic sided boots do not give you much ankle support, but they are convient.
Cheers Pete

Davoe,

I must agree, Olivers are the go for me.
I accept that other persons may have a different opinion.

I had Blundstones for some years and when I finally accepted advise and changed to Olivers I have never looked back.

Jim

Davoe and Jim

I also get around in a pair of Olivers and find them to be a good boot and very comfortable.

I agree........ Had mine only 2 months....... oh and they do have a 30 comfort warranty. If they are not comfortable during the 30 days they will refund your money

I have a pair of those for work boots. Not so sure about using them for a lot of walking though....

yep - had two pairs of those now over a period of 15 years. They are comfortable from day one and can be worn for many hours at a time with no drama.

Great support and very light too. Easy to lace up or get out of. Highly recommended.
