Work Boots Knowledge Base
Work Boots?????????? This is an embarrassing question. I work long shifts doing hard work. I have to wear work boots that come up past my calf's. After 16 hours my boots are sweaty and start to smell. Even after buying new boots they become irreversibly smelly after only several weeks. I don't have foot fungus or anything like that. Does anyone know what could help this or product names of items that could help.
Where can I find review on different work boots? I am looking for some work boots for my father. He is up and down a lot all day, being a mechanic, and goes through them like he does underwear. I need to find him some good, strong boots that will be comfortable, he works up to 16 hours a day, and yet last a while. He doesn't wear steel toed boots, though. Any ideas? It seems like he's tried them all.
how do you keep leather work boots from smelling so bad? I dry them with a boot dryer every night and at the end of the work day when I take them off they are intolerable. I dont have smelly feet and yes I shower and wash my feet every day. My other shoes dont do this. Just my leather work boots.
How do you remove the odor from work boots? I have a pair of Dr. Martins all leather and I use them for work. However, a lot of times I wear them to school or out and about as well. Right now they don't stink, but I know in time they will. How can I prevent the odor or get rid of it. Oh, I tried the insoles with some old boots and they didn't work.

Is it OK to wear knee high boots with a skirt to work at an office? Obviously it's not a short skirt, it goes down to my knees and the boots go a little below the knees. I wear this almost anywhere else, I'm just not sure if it's apropriate for the office. I'm young and I work with a lot of older people so I've never seen anyone else here wear them. Only answer if you actually know something about working in an office. I realize maybe the type of boots make a difference. The ones I have are not very high, about 2 inches and they have more of a square toe not pointy.
Would a pair of Insoles help a pair of work boots fit better? I got a pair of Slip on Work boots, They fit pretty good length wise but they slip off the heel, it drives me nuts. I tried wearing 2 pairs of socks, it makes the boots fit better but my feet sweat like crazy. Would a pair of dr.Scholls insoles work? If so which ones do I get?

Know of any good work boots for a farm? I am currently a student in a veterinary technology program. We will soon be working with large animals (cows, horses, sheep, etc.) and I need to find a good pair of women's work boots that are good for working in this environment. They have to be hard-soled, and the tread shouldn't be too deep so that they aren't hard to clean. I just have never bought this type of shoe before, so I don't know of any brands to look at that are known for comfort and durability (also not getting my toes crunched by a cow would be cool). Also some good non-denim (khaki) pants are needed. Thanks for your suggestions!

Does hair cream that makes your hair grow longer from boots really work? I was complaining about my hair length, and my friend told me that theres some sort of hair stuff in Boots, that makes your hair grow up to 3 inches every week. Does this really work?

Can your empoyer force you to wear boots to work without helping financially? I work for a certain parcel service that tells all of it's employees that everyone needs to purchase work shoes.The definition they give for a workshoe is non-slip sole,leather upper,sturdy,and no holes or rips.(this is what is says in our contract).This definition defines more shoes than just a boot.So I wear tennis shoes to work,and I get harrased by management.If it said in the contract that everyone had to wear boots then I believe they would have to pay something to help all the employees financially,because it would fall under "uniform",because they are specifically saying that you have to wear one style of shoe.

Need a good brand of waterproof work boots? My husband works in a car detail shop on the weekends. He goes through shoes & boots like crazy because his feet get really wet washing the cars.

Are tall boots too sexy for work? I admit I like the look of tall boots, so I'm thinking of getting some for my wife. She normally wears pants but is willing to try new things.

I know that's over the top for work. I do know she's not into uncomfortable heels.

Tax Deduction question for work boots and tools? I have to buy new steel toe boots for work in refineries. Is this deductable and how do I go about making it tax deductable if it is? While I am at it, would it be in my best interest to buy some tools for the job? What if they might not be used on the job too much? If I can make it look like that, it wouldn't matter would it? Write offs are a very new thing for me. I am making plenty at the refinery gig, so I lots of federal withholding on my taxes. I am basically asking: how can I get this back? thanks
