Comments on: What type of footwear for landscaping? http://www.topmanshoes.com/other-home-garden/what-type-of-footwear-for-landscaping What Do Man Get Their Shoes For | Topmanshoes.com Thu, 26 Jan 2012 05:33:31 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Bromeliad http://www.topmanshoes.com/other-home-garden/what-type-of-footwear-for-landscaping/comment-page-1#comment-3268 Bromeliad Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:39:48 +0000 http://topmanshoes.com/other-home-garden/what-type-of-footwear-for-landscaping#comment-3268 I have steel toed boots. I have had a lot of surgery on my feet so I made the decision after my last one, that I didn't want to take the chance of injuring myself while gardening. Would you believe that not long after I got them, I was using a post hole digger and missed--hit the end of my boot and put a good sized scar in the leather, but with no harm to me? They don't look very ladylike on me, but I don't care. They work, and that's all that matters. Since then, several other things have occurred that made me know I was right in my choice of a steel toe. PS Look for a corrugated sole, and make sure the boot top comes up over your ankle. Get leather, not cheap vinyl material and make sure that the metal toe cap goes all of the way across the end of the boot and up at least one and one half inches from the end.

Look for slip proof souls too. I do the same kind of work and i use steel toe just in case something falls on my foot, and you can use your foot as a tool to hit things b/c of the steel toe.
