I'd kill for velcro steel toe leather work boots, I hate tying such long laces.

[–] Abucketofpuppies@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or why not use those ratchet latch things that you see on rollerskates and snowboarding boots?

Have you looked into side zip boots?

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Bruh, side zips have been such a game changer in the morning! (And after work when I just wanna kick my boots off!)

I tried a pair but didn't feel like they could stay tight enough, kind of felt like they were floppy but they didn't have a half size smaller. Is that what you use?

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

No, I just want some for casual wear. I have long lace steel toe boots for when I'm going to be hunting a long time and muck style boots for shorter wear times.

They aren't steel toe, but if you were to contact the manufacturer, they may make a new line. They seem to think their target market is inmates.

Their entire business is making things for inmates. Those boots seem to not be steel toe because they're trying to stop metal getting into the prison.

Don't know about them personally but given the industry would be suspicious of the quality. It's likely they're one of the few or only suppliers people can buy things from while incarcerated.
