What is the boot with doubled leather on toe?

[simpleiowaguy]

I run a backyard crew for the utility doing line clearance and apparently I drag my toe when I'm working the tree. I remember seeing a boot a while back that has a double layer of leather on the toe hut can't remember the name. Any of u fellas know what it is. Maybe halls?

Not sure....but Timberland makes a boot with a composite toe.

It's a soft toe boot with just a double layer of leather.

I saw a pair of Whites like that a while ago. Can't remember the model.

Should be pretty easy to take any old boot and just superglue a layer of leather or something more wear resistant over the toe. Either that, or learn to walk.

Any linemen boot will have either that flap of leather or some will be 2 layers around the whole boot.

Carolina 16" linesman boots have a double toe. Not comfortable at all though , get the bailey's 16" red dawgs. On sale for $180 right now and hard to beat for the $ I've had both

I have danner quarry loggers right now and I love them. I think I'm just going to order some tuff toe and continue my search

Honestly any good shoe repair shop could stitch extra leather onto the boot for you.

Might try that. Got a pretty good shop in town

I like that! How does it hold up?

 

[treebilly]

Holds up well. Another four months and time for new ones. I get about a year outta the boots but the line-x is still good

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Genius

They sell some paint on stuff at tractor supply it holds up well I've heard

In the construction industry a lot of guys use glue on plastic caps to protect the leather over steel toe boots. The steel toes dont give, so it is not uncommon to wear right through the leather in short order. I have also seen a DIY product that you can brush on for the same purpose. KGs boot guard or something like that, a Google search should find it... That said I'm a stubborn bastard and insist on steel toes. After tearing through many a toe I've gone over to Wesco Steel Toe Highliners, they are starting to look like hell but I havent worn through the full grain leather over the toe... yet... Either way they are far superior to any other boot Ive ever worn previously (I only buy US made in boots)...
