reccomend me some footwear for domestic

[ExArmy]

recently i've been wearing trainers, but i've ran out of old trainers, and i think i'd like some decent work footwear that is comfy and hear wearing, steel toes not really necessary but not fussed.
i'd prefer to be able to slip them on and off, so boots would be out of the question. from that criteria, can anybody reccomend me anything

Head down to tk max or sports direct and get another cheap pair of trainers

"SWAT Original boots", they zip up but also have laces, comfortable as you like. Google it...

 

[Billynm]

"Ex Army" Try "LOWA" more comfortable, speed lacing..

funnily enough i have had both swat and lowa boots, the swat ones lasted about 18 months and then were dead, and i still have the lowas but the soles wore out and are almost completely slick, they lasted for about 4 years of daily use though and apart from the soles, they are still in good condition. but to be honest i think i;ve spent far too much time in boots so far, and for domestic use they are a bit much!

You can buy safety trainers from say Arco or Screwfix for about £30, I don't think you would find slip on safety shoes.
But if you just want slip on shoes then just go for suede slip on shoes with the trainer soles, I wear these all the time (except for work!), but you need to get good soles or they just give way after a few months.

well they don't have to be slip on, what i mean is if the were boots, couldn't slip them on and off, but if they were trainer based (not high ankles) then could lace them up lose and then slip them on/off like i do with my trainers if you know what i mean. i can find alot of stuff on ebay and screwfix etc, but just unsure of the quality of it. suppose theres one way to find out!

Arco and RS should provide reasonable kit.

From the title of thread reccomend me some footwear for domestic suggest you try high heel stilettos and a satin maids outfit. :jester:

I'm fond of the dewalt boots, bought some from screwfix for 40 notes for work, and was so fond of them I bought a second set for college. Far more comfortable than my trainers, bar work shoes, or heels (the missus' obviously??).

I've got some scruffs safety trainers, I find them quite comfy, and seem fairly hard waring, You Just have to cope with having to explain to any strict site managers that they are safety.

I've always been a fan of decent boots rather than shoes.
Cant get past the lack of ankle support it trainers.
However I'm well aware the A&E isn't full of sparkies with broken ankles
Just a personal thing.
I like dewalt and dickies work boots.
The steel sole plates have done me proud on more than one occasion.
Yes I know I should look where I'm putting my feet

Sports direct for me. I get the low rise waterproof karrimors for about 25 to 30 quid. Nice and comfy but rugged enough to last me 18 to 24 months usually.

 

[danielN21]

dewalt boots are the best 40 quid screwfix just as comfy as trainers.

MENS / LADIES SAFETY TRAINERS SHOES BOOTS WORK STEEL TOE CAP ANKLE SIZE 3-13UK | eBay
