What are some good steel or composite toe boots for working on concrete, ten plus hours day, six days a week? Need something lightweight and comfortable and affordable. Thanks for any help 2traps.

First go with composit toe, lighter weight doesn't conduct the cold etc. try some of the hiking type boots those seem to be good for long hours on your feet for a reasonable price. Otherwise if you want to spend big money the US made red wings are pretty comfy and last for years but cost around $300.

I have been wearing Red Wings since 1993. I buy a pair a year and have bought the 2233 model every time. Hummm.... I was just going to say anything but redwings. The most uncomfortable boot I ever owned in my life bar none. Then again I have flat feet so maybe it's me.

I wear mine probably 360 days a year, typically 12-16 hours a day. Wife won't let me wear'em to church!!

I wear boots on concrete and steel grating for work. The best thing I have found with any boot is a good aftermarket gel insert. Also, the lighter and spongier the sole, the better. Composite for sure (lighter) it also helps me because I have to pass through metal detectors daily.

Red Wing here. They are pricey but are worth the money.

I've been wearing the timberland pro 6" pit bosses for probably 15 years. Two pair a year. On concrete. Normally around $100-115.

I've got flat feet and I recommend the red wing king toe boot, I beat em up good in my line of work and I go thru a pair every year but worth it
