    Hi John,

    You might want to look at these. I'm on my second pair of the steel toe version in 7 years, and expect to get another year, maybe two, out of them. They're fairly light and very comfortable. Google Wolverine boots. Check out the Durashock work boots, with or without the steel toe.

    Rick Burton doesn't mess around when it comes to Safety!

    I nominate Rick Burton as the Farriers Forum Safety Officer.

    Like the Kevlar lace suggestion. What's your opinion on Kevlar laces? I hate the cheapo laces that come with the boots the eyelets always chaffe the laces, what's up with that?

    The chafing of the laces help them catch fire more easily; then fused to the eyelets, no more trouble with untied laces; then can't remove your boots; and like a good cowboy you WILL die with your boots on; all as a customer service...

    For years I wore Danner's Logger boots; had a 2 years warranty. Heavy duty for the wear and protection. BUT, yep but, after years of being stepped on and not being able to get out of the boot while the horse's foot was crippling my feet I switched to tennis shoes.
    Now when stepped on, the ability to "slip right out" of the shoe reduces the length of pain and chances of broken toes and feet. JMO...
