Steel Toe Work Clogs or Slip-On Recommendations

[dmeadow]

OK, we've beat boots to death. Now I find myself in need of a slip-on steel toed work shoe or clog. I tend to come in and out of the house often and I am endlessly lacing and unlacing my workboots. I don't want to track nasty garage stuff onto the wood floors and carpets!

I'd prefer something with a thick, stiff sole. Soft soles, like athletic shoes, tend to make my feet ache after standing on hard surfaces for a length of time. I also need the steel toe because I find myself moving things like engine blocks around.

Here are a couple of candidates. Anyone with direct experience with these or have another suggestion?

Birkenstock makes steel toe clogs. They're comfortable for standing for long periods. The clogs are sold under the Alpro brand name. The model is the A640. The clogs have cork footbeds. They're available in white, black, blue, and green. I've worn the older model for a while and found them comfortable. Link

what about a pair of zippered "combat style" boot.

my daily wear boots are a non steel toe version of them.

i believe bates or danner has them.

A quick search of Red Wing Shoes' catalog shows two low-top, slip-on, steel-toed shoes: the 6646 (black) and 6647 (brown). $175. I've never worn either but I like all my other Red Wings. These ones fall into their sort-of-made-in-the-USA category.

You can give them a shot and return them in 30 days, which for me is a huge win with shoes. Trying them in the store just isn't good enough.

I wear Georgia Romeos every day but not in steel toe I have tried on steel toe at the store bu never needed to spend the extra money

Once you wear Romeos for a while you will hate the times you have to wear regular boots. My lace up work boots are 3 years old and still look new they on let get worn when it super cold or I know it will be super muddy. Other than that its my Romeos every day
