Any recommendations? I used to wear dewalt bolsters but then my last pairs didn't last that long so paid more and went for a different dewalt model which are like walking on bricks after a few hours in them. Im happy to invest up to a max of around £100 for good comfort and they can be a composite toe cap smile

What are they for do they have to be boots? I bought some trainer type ones which are a lot comfier to walk about in but obviously no real ankle support.

More shoes than boots but I wear these from screwfix.

Dirt cheap, I am on my feet all day long and even from day 1 of a new pair, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

My last pair of DeWalts were dreadfully uncomfortable, I’ve gone back to Scruffs Switchbacks and they’re much better.

I also buy a pair of decent supportive insoles for my work boots, I find it helps comfort massively.

I've been wearing the Stanley Orion trainer types for the last 2 years.

Anywhere between 10-16k steps a day and a fair amount of standing on step ladders for 1-2 hours at a time.

Comfy and form well to feet.

Dewalt Challenger 2 was the most comfortable and lightest safety boot i ever wore, bliss on your feet from the first moment, don't be tempted by Challenger 3 it's not a patch on the previous model for comfort and the soles split on the 1 pair i had which never happened over several pairs of version 2, if you find a pair of version 2 in your size buy them.

However, now on my 3rd pair of Dewalt Hancock, heavier as thick leather which gets softer after several polishes, totally water proof, tough and comfortable.
Mostly around the £75 mark but i got another pair online last month for £61.49 from buildand plumb.co

Grafters boots always work well, light and comfortable. Only about £30 too.

I've worn DeWalt for the past 4yrs. The comfort was a revelation with the first pair, so I'm surprised the OP doesn't like them. No break in period either. Far better than most boots I've been free issued by employers over the years.

I usually spend £70 or £80 on waterproof ones from Screwfix. They last around a year. I'm a site manager so on my feet a lot.

John Bull, Redbacks, or Blundstone

Australian boots are the best.

I use Cofra boots, usually non metallic ones, light, comfortable, and last well.

Simply the best. I get about 2 years from a pair as well which is really good going.

Redbacks seconded, nothing comes close for all-day comfort.

I am sitting drinking a cup of tea and wearing a pair of these.

Rafting Top Safety Boots, Brown, 11 UK (45 EU) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FJLPOKA/ref=cm_sw_r...

I've now had them on 14 hours and walked several miles.
They are not only the most comfortable steelies I've ever owned, they are the most comfortable footwear ever.
I have changed the laces to elasticated ones so they are converted to slip ons truly game changing boots.

I also bought a pair of American tactical boots with a composite toecap and side zip closure which are every bit as comfortable but were nearly twice the price.

I've had some Tuf XT boots for the past year or so now, and although they were a little stiff initially they've worn in brilliantly and are very comfy.
I even wear them at home a fair bit

Caterpliiar ones.

Had the latest pair for three years including wearing them for 14 1/2 hours a day during the lockdown periods where we squashed hours up.

I bought some DM Industrial's a few years ago.
Very comfy but MUCH too heavy. Think deep sea diving.
