Dickies Fa23355 Safety Rigger Unlined Boot Tan 7

Product Information

That said, the ankle area is firm enough that these boots will keep you safe while gardening, farming, and performing other general tasks on uneven terrain. What most cheap rigger boots don’t incorporate into their design is oil and petrol-based resistance. Welcome to our 5-minute review of the best rigger boots with ankle support. If you jump onto any ecommerce store, you’ll see dozens of rigger boots on offer. The question is, which ones are going to provide the most ankle support and be the most durable? Keep in mind, too, that the midsole on these rigger boots has steel protection (as does the toe), so you needn’t worry about stepping on sharp objects. Price

It was able to grow significantly by expanding across the United States after returning to civilian production following the sequestration during the war years, when it produced uniforms for the US armed forces. Each product is designed to be durable and long wearing, with only the latest technology used to provide wearers with the most effective safety features. The DeWalt’s just offer that little extra in terms of ankle support, durability, waterproofing and even sole resistance to oil/petrol than anything else on this list. These boots comprise multiple upper panels that are designed specifically to provide top-grade ankle support. This feature isn’t too common among rigger boots, and makes this pair a great option for working on rough terrain. Comfort If you want to save a few quid but still end up with a reputable pair of DeWalt rigger boots, the pair above seems like an excellent choice.They lose their waterproofing after 6-12 months (solved: almost ALL waterproof outdoor products need re-waterproofing after 6 months – I use NikWax).

That said, the V12 Tomahawk waterproof rigger boots are extremely breathable, so they’ll keep you from perspiring during long, brutal work days. And, they’re actually waterproof, meaning your feet will stay dry even if you work in muddy, wet conditions. Durability Balancing comfort and durability isn’t always simple — tough materials are typically hard on the skin. And these boots are definitely more durable than they are comfortable (although they’re just snug enough that you can have them on without issues for an 8-10 hour shift.) You’ll get a sole that’s tested up to 200 degrees which is dual density, a steel toe cap and mid sole protection.

Durability shouldn’t be an issue with these rigger boots — not under most conditions, anyway. The full-grain leather upper is triple-stitched, with a steel-capped toe, while the outsole is made with welted Goodyear rubber. The composition of the sole also adds a great deal of toughness to these boots — more on that below.
