Machine shop work boots?
I've been working in a machine shop going on a year now, anybody out there found a type of work boot/ sole that doesn't get completely f#cked by metal chips on the floor? On my fet at least 12 hours a day.

Red wing with the clear soles do ok. They still wont last that long tho.

Double h boots with the ice sole are tough

I had pretty decent service from Brahma boots when I worked at a machine shop. They got shavings stuck in the sole, but lasted well over a year.

Steel Blue boots are awesome, tad on the spendy side. Worth every penny!
I'm on concrete floors all day at work plus up and down on forklifts

Re: Machine shop work boots?
I've been wearing the danner quarry 2.0 boots since I started, the chips have just poked holes in the soles so when I go outside the snow makes the bottom of my feet wet, just purchased some ariat steel toes with the clear sole and the are breaking in like a son of a bitch. Didnt know if maybe there was a better option. Thanks everyone!

Re: Machine shop work boots?
As far as I know, the best I can suggest you better than anyone as I also do work in a metal scrap shop. Every day I return to home with almost 5-10 chips struck in my outer sole but it won't affect my shoes anymore when I switched to Adio by indestructible shoes which got steel layer in the midsole. It makes your shoes a little bit heavy but you can sacrifice some of your swiftness for wear and tear. I also tested its sole for slippery and oily surfaces and hands down to its manufacturing.

Re: Machine shop work boots?
I wonder how many pairs of boots the original poster has gone through in 7 years.
