What type/style boots are you all wearing?

Tired of dragging mud everywhere I go and constant changing from boots to sneakers is a pain in the _ss.

Going from footing inspection to interior renovation, this season more than the past seems to be a dang mess.

Thinking at Muck Boots

Also thinking of trying a spray on product, on the cheap end Rust-Oleum has NerverWet
 
Muck boots are good and easy on easy off, I keep a pair in the truck.....I have seen impressive video on youtube for neverwet but have not used it....

Keystone,

Have you considered the disposable, slip on boot covers ?.......There are a

variety of types on the market.

Nothing but Red Wings for the past 30 years.

Pull-on rubber over-boots for the slop, and disposable shoe covers for the inside finals.
 
north star - yes we use the slip ons.

I currently rotate between a pair of Merrel's & Doc Martens for fall/winter. Merrel's do a great job with traction and they hold every piece of dirt. Doc Martens walk comfortably and provide a heavy solid step but not that great traction. I have to double up the slip ons with the Doc's. IDK, I have options to look at will look to try on a pair of muck boots take a look at those Thorogoods. Possibly the slip over mud covers
 
I love my Danner's, but as Keystone said they hold and track all kinds of dirt, so I make frequent trips to the corp yard to hose em off, so that I do not track into office, I also have booty's but will not cover my Danner's so at final I have been known to take off my boots, and always pray that I am wearing clean socks:)
 
Speaking of boots, how many of you all get a boot allowance?, I am happy to say each fiscal year I get 200 dollars:)
 
So many roofs I am primarily in tennis shoes with good grip, slip ons for homeowners, change to Wolverine boots with waterproof bottoms for the odd messy Job.

Asking for a boot allowance is a good way to get the boot.

same boot allowance as mjesse, but they must be a safety boot, steel toes/shanks.

When I was out in the field, I did have a rubber overshoes that (I bought) I put on for the really muddy inspections, and then for finals, if I needed them, Dr. Booties like north star suggests..........
 
$100/yr - just started getting that in 2013. A nice surprise from the higher-ups!

I lean towards Wolverine boots - had pretty good luck with the brand over all. Seem to last longer than most others.
