20 Best Insulated Steel Toe Boots (2023 Updated)

Ive has these for a week now. I work in a kennel and deal with a lot of water to clean them as well as concrete and tile. I love that i dont slip in these boots on wet tile like other similar boots. They are flexable with is amazing because ive had boots split where they bend when squating.

My feet also didnt hurt nearly as much as they normally would in a pair of new boots worn all day long. They were a little tight at first but the leather loosened up quickly and they are very comfortable.

I also love that the sole is sewn on, with extra on the toes to ensure it wont come off, ots also a thick sole so i dont have to worry about them wearing out fast. My only complaint is that they are meant to be water proof but my feet are still getting wet.

Im going to try sealing them with an oil and hopefully that will fix it. Id suggest getting the next size up with boots (you wear size 8 1/2, id get 9). I gave 4 stars because the water is a major thing in my job and it is extremely unpleasant to work 8 hrs or more with wet feet, but otherwise the boots are amazing.

This is my second pair and the first pair have held up really well. The only reason they dont get a 5 star is because around the 8-9 hour mark on concrete floors my feet tend to get sore. I have had other boots that last between 10 and 12 hours before my feet get sore.

Over all a good boot. If I’m sitting at a desk or operating heavy equipment off and on during the day my feet are great in these boots. They could use a better cushioning system. I have talked with younger guys that dont have this issue, but they are in their twenty’s.

I could wear concrete shoes in my twenty’s without complaint.

I love the Timberland brand. You can always guarantee you’ll find fashionable, functional footwear that’ll last a future. Whenever I’m in the market for a stylish, quality pair of boots Timberland is usually at the top of my list.

I have Timberland boots for 10+ years that are still in great condition. When I needed a quick pair of steel-toe boots for work I immediately checked Timberland. These work boots are comfortable, despite being steel-toe and I wear them all day.

They have a lot of room so feet can breathe. If you are between sizes, always go a 1/2 size up. They look like the standard boots and had it not been for the label, you wouldn’t even know they were safety shoes.

I always get compliments on my boots when I wear them and often get asked if I’m from upstate. Overall, highly recommended. If you’re in the market for safety boots, consider Timberland.

I bought these boots thinking I’ll give it a go. Every womens work boot I have ever bought were clunky or were to big or way to small. Or felt like they made for a guy not a women But these. wow fit like they were made just for my feet.

Sooo comfortable. Not clunky at all. The cushion in the soles I could be on my feet all day working. Water proof I can stump around in the rain/puddle and have dry feet all day. Can’t wait until it snow to see how well insulated they are.

The steal toe is a plus. adds a little weight but hardly noticeable once you wear them for 10 seconds. The look of the boot is nice. not a bulky look. Slim/sleek looking like a womens boot. I definitely recommend them for any women looking for a good work boot.

Great boots. I’ve been wearing these for a couple weeks now. It only took a day or two to break them in. Wide width is a good fit for those of us who need it. I work around a lot of chemicals and oil, so I needed something that wasn’t going to slide around.

I haven’t had any issues with that. I highly recommend the boots, and I really like the way they look.

Love my Chippewa steel toe boots. I will never wear them out. I think that they are the best boots I have ever wore. I work with Disaster Relief clean up and work 12 hrs a day on my feet. My boots are the best investment for safety and comfort.

Thank god for Tractor Supply and Chippewa, for Christmas my son who is 16 wanted new work boots but he has a small foot size 7 to be exact, we searched all local stores and couldn’t find any in his size and realized we would have to order online.

We thought we found a size 7 on a different website so we ordered them on 12/12/2018. long story short we had been deceived the boots never showed up and were never even processed. The company kept saying they were backordered blah blah blah.

My husband has to go to TSC for something and the local store actually had a 7 1/2 which to my sons elatement he tried on however they were too big. The cashier said you can go on TSC website and order them.

We assumed his size wouldn’t even exist but there they were, the ordering was so seamless and easy! After months of stress and aggravation the boots showed up a week later. No hassles no issues! So Christmas came late this year but thanks to TSC and Chippewa at least it came at all!.

I bought my husband these boots for Christmas this year. I will say, they were a tiny bit too big, and I needed to get a half of a size smaller. Otherwise, the workmanship of the boot is unparalleled.

Consider this. he only wears Chippewa boots when he works in the field (2 days a week) and his last pair lasted 10 years. Albeit, they were in rough shape, they still held up. The cost FAR exceeds the value.

This last pair I bought him will carry him through the next few years with ease. He loves the safety features, and the ruggedness of the boot allows him to wear them in all work environments without conern.

I highly recommend a pair of Chippewa’s if you are looking for lasting quality.

I’vebeen Wearing these boots for the past month as a delivery driver for a company that’s brown. The job is physically strenuous and exposed to all types of weather. I found these boots to be very sturdy and supportive.

They took about two weeks to be fully broken in working 8 to 12 hour days. I would suggest wearing these boots around the house before taking them straight out into a 12 hour shift though. They hold a polish well and looks great when freshly sharpened.

At this price it’s an excellent boot that holds up against the elements that one will encounter when working outdoors.

I’m not the type to come on and badmouth a product except that I resent that Wolverine is big into promoting their comfort guarantee, except you better determine if they’re comfortable or not before stepping outside, and they’re still going to charge you for the return.

Rant over. The boots pinched my feet as soon as I stood up. All of the adjusting and fidgeting in the world could not get them to stop hurting. I ordered a wide and a half size up, but this felt like the steel toe was digging into the sides of my feet.

Finally went to the site in sneakers (risking my safety and job) because I couldn’t stand to wear there.

The insoles are very stiff and hard, I sent them back because I have foot injuries and knew it was like walking barefoot on concrete with these. Also I tried to crush an aluminum can with one and it practically bent the shoe because of it, I was expecting the shoe to be rigid and keep form but it bent while crushing it, of course the bend was only while crushing the can but I didn’t expect a measly beer can to be able to bend a work boot.

I hope this is constructive criticism, I had also bought and returned Rocky Boots before I got these Wolverines and returned these. Now I have Ariat’s Workhog Patriot or something like that, they have extremely comfortable insoles so my feet don’t hurt at all, they are extremely rigid and will not bend, but the leather does not seem very tough since I had a chip in it the first day on the toe area.

If Wolverine can match something like Ariat’s ATS insole/sole technology I think they would have a win.

This is the only boot that I will buy from now on. I wouldn’t change a single thing. Perfect support, insulation is great on warm or cold days. I have high arches so I change the insole but I like this feature of being able to use whatever insole I want.

needless to say I DONT consider this a negative feature. They look awesome. the first lace hook actually locks down the laces and the second just makes it better. even the laces are freaking awesome and durable.

The soles are made out of the best material possible as well. Seriously wouldn’t change anything. Please keep making these to the same perfect standards!.

I can state the facts and I hope you listen. By moving production to China you have completely destroyed the best fishing and bad weather boots in the world. I figure that you raised the price by an average of $50 to try to cover all the warranty’s you have now because of very bad material used.

Every pair I have ever had was made in USA and none ever leaked. I ordered a pair 2 months ago and both boots leaked first time I wore them! It has been 2 months since I turned in a warranty claim and still have not received my replacement boots.

I am almost dreading getting them for fear that they will leak too. If you ever want to get your reputation and quality back you will have to bring production back to the US and make them the way you used to.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that you have been having these problems since to outsourced to China. I can see having problems at first but after years of production over there it’s obvious that it will never get corrected.

I would have no problem paying up to $300 a pair for Xtratuf boots if the were the same quality as my last 8 pair I purchased over the years for myself and family members. I was going to purchase 3 more pair for my girlfriend and my parents but will look somewhere else after reading the reviews and actually dealing with this pair of horrible assembled boots.

You had the best harsh weather boots in the world and destroyed them to try and put a little extra money in your pockets. You should be very ashamed of what you are doing to hard working people in this world that buy the boots you sell now thinking they are getting the same quality you used to make.

I have a very large family that has logging companies from Alaska and throughout the United States and I will be passing on my experience to all of them.

I tried 5 other brands’ boots; none are as comfortable & well-fitting as the Xtratuf 2. 0 Legacy. These are lighter & cooler than the neoprene Muck or Bogs I tried & I’m working outside this summer. I’m a female, size 8 1/2 or 9 C++ width (close to men’s average D width) which in this case, translates into size 7 men’s.

There’s no way I can fit a woman’s B width. These boots have a roomy toe box; no pinching of the composite toe; & are cut smaller around the top of the foot than the standard steel toe Xtratuf Legacy boots.

So these won’t fit a larger volume foot or some men’s feet. They also have a designed, more narrow “ankle fit” which prevents your foot from slopping all around. Muck Boots were the #2 choice, yet they were much warmer and had a looser fit.

It seems like Xtratuf designed these for more narrow and/or lower volume men’s feet and/or for women with a wider than average foot/size 9 and up. And they finally caught up with the times by using composite toes vs.

heavy, cold, conductive steel toes, which are completely unnecessary in this day and age of equally strong composite materials. I use my own insole (Hapad Athletic insole) with great arch support because those that came with the boots aren’t that great.

Yet no boots of this style really have great insoles imo. My feet are never tired, sore, burning, etc. at the end of the day. Don’t be fooled by the tread design which is marketed as more for fishing or boat decks.

These work fine in dirt, mud, sand, cement, rain & they are lighter weight than the Muck or Bogs boots. The bottom soles do not hold onto mud or dirt -they shed it nicely. I wouldn’t consider wearing any of the neoprene Muck or Bogs style boots in the summertime.

They are just too hot! Just to clarify these Xtratuf 2. 0 Legacy boots are actually described as neoprene with hand laid rubber on the outside. But it’s not the wetsuit cushy type of neoprene material that the tops of the Mucks or Bogs are made of.

That’s another plus for these boots vs. the wet-suit style neoprene topped boots. That neoprene gets snagged on branches, edges, rebar, etc. All my co-workers who wear that style boot have their tops all ripped and sometimes that causes water to get in & ruin the boots.

These Xtratufs are solid rubber all the way up top and are not easily punctured.

Wow, so I wanted to respond to xtratuf and see they took down my review because it spoke to the threads hanging out the back of the boot and that not being a waterproof seal. I keep asking what’s up with that because it’s on every pair of boot I order now but isn’t photographed on the website but no one will explain it or answer the question if that’s how they’re made now.

I get there’s a 30 day return policy but I have used these boots and would like to continue to buy. All I want is an explanation for the threads on all the brand new boots. Water can travel up it and it’s at the bottom so I can’t wrap my head around this one.

I’ve literally ordered like 8 pairs and I keep returning and just keep getting sent the same thing with the same issue. If that’s you they’re being made then XtraTuf should really be showing that on their imagery and website.

Don’t edit out the strings so people know what to expect. not to mention the numbers now stamped into them. These used to be my favourite boots and company. Really disappointed, even more so to see my honest review removed.

That’s not transparency or standing behind your product.

I have been a ASE Master Certified Auto Technician for 20 years now. Have been through my share of boots. This specific boot from Carolina boots has been the best I’ve ever worn! I am on my second pair of 9528s with this purchase.

My last pair made it three a little over three years. And in all honesty they aren’t completely worn out. In my line of work they are constantly getting beat, covered in all kinds of chemicals, and in and out of the elements.

These boots have handled it all perfectly. only pair of boots that have never had a break-in period. And honestly I thought it was just a fluke with the last pair but my feet have never hurt in this new pair either.

I’ve been wearing them for about a month now and they have been perfect from the first time I put my foot in them. They are insulated so they are very warm at first and if there is a complaint I have it might be that.

If you’re on the fence about a good safety boot that is very warm and waterproof this is the boot you should get.

I have been buying Carolina boots from Super shoes for over 12 years and have always been very happy with them. This was the first time I tried this particular model of logger and unfortunately the steel toe on the right boot was digging into one of my toes.

However Super Shoes promptly took them back and sent me a different model that I am familiar with in a very efficient and service oriented manner! I couldn’t be happier!.

These boots are awesome. Super comfortable out of the box. And they stay comfortable over long periods of of wearing them. Took a cross country roadtrip, didn’t even have to take the boots off while I was sleeping while staying at some sketchy motels.

Would absolutely recommend these boots.

I purchased these exact same boots (store) about two years ago and they were very comfortable. That comfort is why I purchased them again (online) and these are not nearly as comfortable. In fact, I’m still wearing the old ones.

Wearing them 8+ hours is no problem. I’m keeping the new boots because I don’t want to have to shop for work boots any time soon.

I bought these boots two weeks ago thinking they would be good since they were marked wide and that’s what I wear. Two weeks of wearing them to work and they are still killing my feet won’t stretch. Other than that they are a well made boot.

Just out $120 and no boots store won’t take back since they were worn outside.

Although the boots look good and feel comfortable there is an issue with the composite shanks in the boots. They make an annoying squeaking noise with every single step. Could be they are floating with in the sole of the boots but if that’s the case that’s an issue.

Would like to exchange these boots for steel toe boots with steel shanks.

First pair of thorogoods. Break in was a bit rough, but after about a week and a half really comfortable. Feels about half size too small, also just a bit wide. I am a 12 wide in all my work boots, however could have gone 12 regular in these.

Really nice job on the waterproofing.

Always loved these boots. Last pair lasted 6 years in the construction and HVAC business. Never had a boot last that long. I wouldn’t buy any other boot. Just wish the rivets held up better but honestly.

6 years of every day use not too bad. And don’t even have to break them in.

Hello there, I just wanna say how much I love these boots. I’ve done just about every kind of job you can think of from flooring, electrical, plumbing to pouring concrete foundations pretty much anything in construction.

I’m in the heat, cold and mud all kinds of nasty weather and these boots have never leaked on me. I’ve wore just about every brand boot out there and these have out performed and out lasted every other boot I’ve ever had!!! They are the only boot I wear for work I even have a pair for home! Anyone who does concrete foundations knows how quick you go through work boots and these are perfect for the job.

My feet are never sore and I’m on my feet all day carrying concrete forms and steel rebar running into rocks kicking Simon’s forms around and the leather is thick on these boots!!! I 100 percent recommend these boots to anyone wanting a comfortable long lasting boot!.

I’ve been wearing my new boots for a few weeks. They are very, very comfortable, but I’d like them a lot more if they weighed about half what they do. They are very heavy. I also wish they made the ranger without the steel toe, especially if they could lose some weight.

I need to return them to get a smaller pair as they run a little large. The return policy is very inconvenient, requiring me to go a week or two without boots. I saw other reviews about the poor stitching around the soles.

I did notice after only a couple days a couple of the stitches broke, which tells me that unless I have a cobbler reinforce them, the bottoms will probably be falling off within a year. It has all the potential to be an amazing boot, but they have some work to do.

Very warm and comfortable to wear though.

Comfortable, durable, excellent grip with the vibram outsoles. I spend a lot of time on roofs and other uneven/slippery terrain and these boots grip better than anything I have ever worn. My only complaint is that I preferred the uninsulated version for all season wear but it is no longer available.

Please bring those back someday Rocky! However, I haven’t found any boot that will endure the beating mine received and still easily last a year or more with daily wear. Comfortable right out of the box, no break in period.

I would highly recommend these boots to anyone.

Chippewa logger boots are one of the highest quality logger boots that you can buy. These work boots are designed for excellent traction, ankle support, and comfort. They are insulated (keeping you warm in winter), and waterproof (keeping your feet dry).

They are built to last and are super durable. Steel toe for added safety. Features: 8″ Black Oiled Leather Goodyear Leather Welt Construction Brushed Ruby Nylex Lining Texon Insole Astm F2413-05 Steel Toe Electrical Hazard Rated Removable Cushion Orthotic Insert (when purchased new) Vibram One Piece Yellow Plug Logger Being of such high quality, they cost more than the average work boot.

However, in terms of logger boots these Chippewa Steel Toe loggers are in my opinion, the best of the best.

I am a fire investigator and climb through debris and ashes continually. This product would Would have been perfect for me. I was not able to get the proper size (I have a weird size foot). I am writing this review more for their service than the product.

I called and thought this would be another return nightmare. It was an amazing quick and easy experience. I will always buy future products here and recommend them to our friends.

My son is a mechanic and has worn these boots for over 15 years. Always top quality – protects his feet. We ordered from Russell for the first time and they were great. Will definitely order from Russell again.

Thank you!!.

Bellville mens boots run larger than what you are ordering be sure to order 1 size smaller and even up to 1- 1/2 sizes smaller than what you need! They are also wide i need xw and can wear regular cant believe it! A woman said the women size run narrow so if you are a woman with wide feet you should order mens boot converted to your size minus 1 size smaller for a perfect fit! I know my Bellvilles guys they are good boots so i am trying to help the company, bought 5 prs at the army surplus and darn it out grew them yes at age 45 my feet grew from 15w to 16 xw.

good boots better than Danner or master Bates. Bates are good but cheaper quality Danner soles are vibram ketterfelt and wear out too fast. Vibram fire and ice are the tough ones!!! i dont lioke most people but if you are shopping here you must be cool great prices and selection!.

True to size- 9. 5 regular size fit perfectly. Right out of the box I put them on over medium weight wool socks and wore them all day. Walked about 2 miles doing outside chores and even took a short nap while wearing them and they were comfortable all day.

If they hold up well they may be the best bargain in a USA made Gore Tex boot I have found. Would definitely buy them again.

The boot fits to size yes. But the extra leather/materials on the lace area or top of foot are excessive. They are bulky. The lace has no lace holes at the top and your reliance on the lace to chinch with just a loop around is not desired in my opinion.

I will return these un used style. The reture requirement of this company is complicated and because I want a refund I the customer pays returne shipping. Fair ? Yes Attaching original email for a returne is a hassle.

The boots are super durable and comfortable to wear all day. I work at a graveyard and they’re holding up pretty decent

Runs true to size and well made. Grips and doesnt collect a lot of dirt between sole grooves. Buy again!!

In 2020 I went through four sets of farm boots– and the Mud boots brand would crack within three days. I used these hard and for hours at a time–so much so that my calves now have an indented ring around them.

They lasted till this year when they finally got a crack across the top. Worh every penny spent and no other farm boot even comes close.

Really well made and comfortable. Neoprene lining makes them warm. Brilliant pair of wellies. I’m usually a size 8, ordered a size 7 as advised, they are slightly wide, but a pair of thick socks sorted that out.

Great boots. Warm and comfortable. Good fit. Full safety. Seem very well made

I purchased a pair of these boots about 8 years ago when working in the USA on a whim while I was in a Red Wing store. While I don’t work in construction, I do wear these boots almost every day and apart from having to replace the insoles after about 6 years and the coating on the padded cuff peeling off about a year ago (but the cuff itself is fine) they haven’t given me any problems.

The soles are only now starting to show the smallest amount of wear, but I reckon they are good for at least another 5 or 6 years. They are so comfortable I wear them pretty much every day to the office and I actually prefer them to my ‘proper’ Red Wings.

Great all around boot. No longer out in the field, but have worn red wing for 25 years. These boots are great! I use them around my property all year round. Red Wing heritage for the office, Vasque for hiking/camping, and Irish Setter for working.

These products are simply the best!.

My first pair of 982 mason boots since early 2000’s. I tried to re-order back then a couple times and they were out of stock both times. I gave up until now April 2022. They are still great boots that fit really well.

The shoe strings are the same flat brown that they used to be but thinner and cheaper than they used to be. I can replace these 54 inch shoe strings when needed, no biggie! Great boots.

I bought these work boots as the closest replacement I could find for a discontinued line of Redwing work shoes (which I’ve worn for decades). I was told upfront that I would have to wait almost 3 months for these to be shipped, and I did because all shoes I’ve bought from BA Mason in the past have been satisfactory.

These won’t be. They are made of lightweight materials which won’t last long in my work outside at my acreage and in my woods. In addition, they are too narrow for my feet even though they are supposedly a wide (E) width.

I will “break them in” (I hope) and wear them until they fall apart, which undoubtedly won’t be long. I rarely write negative reviews for anything, preferring to say nothing if I can’t say something good.

These shoes, however, deserve a poor review.

I’ve been searching for reasonably priced GYW “Service” style boots and took a chance on these. I’ve a small foot (8. 5) with a very high arch and instep; sizing is always difficult as is finding comfort.

In high-end boots (Danner Mt. Light) I wear an 8. 5 EE, but other shoes can be 9D or 9. 5 (Nike running). So with these. the style looked perfect (compare w Helm, Wolverine), well made with GYW construction, and the price, of course.

I went 8. 5EE in black and the fit is perfect, but most surprising is the immediate comfort. I’m ordering another pair in brown. Size one width up from your regular. 5 stars.

When I received these boots and tried them on, they seemed to fit great so I took the tags off and wore them to work the next day. I have never left work in so much pain. The insole is hard and unforgiving.

The sides of the boots rubbed the tops of my feet and ankles, leaving bruises. My toes ended up smashing in to the cap every time I took a step, also bruising. After all of this, I figured they needed to be broken in and I also bought insoles to help.

It did nothing. I’ve given them 6 days but I’m in the worse pain, head to toe, I’ve been in since I started my job 6 months ago.

I have been wearing these boots for about a week. They aren’t pretty light for steal toe boots, good quality, nicely priced, sizing is right on (bought mine a 1/2 size bigger). The only issue I have is they say that they are insolated and I am having a hard time believing it.

I currently have 2 pairs of socks underneath my wool socks and my feet are still freezing. Aside from that love them. I would defiantly purchase them again.

I order the same shoe every year, they are the only shoe that lasts me so long and they are great for work. They are comfortable and the only shoe i used everyday.

This is my first pair of Georgia boots as I didn’t even know they existed before my purchase. They fit my medium width feet perfect, right out of the box. The leather is quality and pliable but not quite as thick as I’ve seen on some other high quality boots.

They needed very little break-in time because of it. The soles are Vibram, say no more. I don’t understand the top holes (grommets) in the lacing as opposed to the hooks that start at the ankles. The hooks allow me to keep the laces tied and lace up the boots around the hooks.

The top holes require that I untie the laces to put them through the holes, so I don’t lace all the way up. I had a coupon that got me $40 off the retail price of $200. These are the nicest, toughest, most comfortable boot that I’ve owned at that price.

I’ve had Alico, Italian and difficult to find, and Danner. They are both nicer, higher quality boots but twice the price. These boots are 85% the boot at 1/2 the price. I would recommend these and purchase again.

I hope and expect the uppers to last a second or third resole. Thanks Georgia Boot. (BTW, I almost never take the time to review my purchases. ).

I love these boots. Got my first pair of Georgia boots back in high school. Finally a waterproof boot advertised truthfully. Wasn’t big on the heel being so high but once I broke these in, they are my most comfortable boot.

The ONLY negative I have is that, for a work boot, I expected tougher rubber. I’m a manual machinist and all the hot sharp metal chips I pull are next to me on the ground. The tread has deteriorated and come to nearly unusable for hiking after only 6 months.

I hate that because I’ve had other brands I didn’t care for like my danners and the tread was the only thing they had going for them, and those lasted well over two years. However I still love the comfort and waterproof to this boot.

Many wet days in the mountains of North Idaho. I can hike comfortably for miles and miles up and down steep terrain without tiring and blistering my feet and my feet are always the only dry part of my body.

First time in my life that’s happened. Thank you Georgia Boot.

I’ve only had these size 10W, G-8341 8” steel-toed logger boots for a week and they are already broken-in for all-day comfort. They have a full-gusset tongue to keep out saw chips, dirt & water, which makes for a tight squeeze to get my foot past, but once on, they fit like bespoke boots – good support, with just enough room so no pressure points, pinching or rubbing.

Georgia Boot is the only brand I found that offers a lace- to-toe logger boot with a low, walking heel. I wish they came in black, but rubbing a coat of Mink Oil into the full-grain, waterproof leather to condition, protect and further waterproof them darkened them considerably.

These are the most expensive work boots I’ve ever purchased (even at 35%-off MSRP on clearance), but worth every penny for the fit & comfort compared to the multiple pairs of hard & stiff Timberland-Pro 6” Pit Boss steel toed work boots I’ve been wearing for the last 12 years, which wore like cast iron, but weren’t comfortable to walk any distance in or wear for more than eight hours.

If these G-8341 8” logger boots hold up as well and remain comfortable, they will be my new go-to work boots!.
