• Site electrician. Needs composite sole and toe rather than metal, above ankle cover. I want waterproof and not overly heavy (but non metallic toe and sole plate go a long way with that).

  • Composite hardware is fairly common, genuinely waterproof boots, less so. But unless you're stood in ankle-deep water for any length of time, you don't need it.

    Toe caps wouldn't be a bad idea if you're kneeling a lot, but wouldn't swing it one way or the other for me.

    Honestly, you'll be fine with whatever your local merch has in stock around the £45 mark (but Magnum if you want a specific recco).

  • I’ve been wearing safety boots for over a decade and I’ve only ever regretted buying cheap ones tbf, and that’s working in dry internal environments. Figured if I’m gonna be wet and cold a lot of the time I’d probably benefit from decent boots.
