Our Favourite Grafters Work Boots

Grafters work boots provide the most protection and durability you can get. We find that customers often struggle to find a reliable pair of work or  safety boots which they can trust to last a long time and don’t break the bank.

In this blog post, we hope to outline the necessities of a quality work boot and how to spot them, as well as showcasing some of our favourite options. Hopefully, we’ll help you make a decision regarding work boots .

A good work boot needs a few things, including:

• Protective safety features

• Non-slip soles

• Protective midsoles

• Long term comfort

• Breathability

• Durable materials

• Arch support

Safety features, such as puncture resistant midsoles and slip resistant soles, are important to keep tradespeople safe on the job. On the other hand, choosing a boot which is made from breathable materials in the right areas ensures that your feet won’t overheat even during long hours of use and on warmer days.

This is important not only because it increases comfort, but also because it reduces the risk of blisters and athletes foot, which are both common issues you can run into when wearing work footwear . Arch support is also good for your foot health. So finding boots with adequate support which can mould to your feet will make sure your feet are a lot less sore during long days.

Grafters work boots  are amongst the most durable options out there. Despite their low price, these boots are crafted using reliable materials such as nubuck (and other types of) leather, and other mesh materials which aren’t likely to break or wear down, even under harsh conditions.

Not only are these boots durable because of the materials they’re made from, but also because of multiple inbuilt safety features. As mentioned, additions such as sturdy toe boxes add to the strength of the boots, making them more resistant to damage and ensuring they last longer.

You need to consider some factors when buying work boots. All of these factors play into the overall safety, comfort and lifespan of your boots:

Durability - Research whether the boots are made from durable materials such as leather. From this, you can develop a good understanding of whether the boots will be durable. Another way you can find out whether your boots are going to be durable is by reading some reviews online .

Safety features - Don’t just pick the first boots you see. You need to consider what your workplace is like and what requirements your employer might have regarding safety footwear. There’s no point buying a pair of boots which have steel toe caps if they’re just not needed.

Waterproofing - Do you need waterproof boots? They'll be much more important in some job roles than in others, so work this out before buying. If so, Grafters have some excellent options, such as the Safety Rigger Boots .

Budget - Consider how much you’re willing to spend on your work boots. Whilst it’s definitely a good idea to put a good chunk of money towards work boots which are likely to last, Grafters actually don’t cost much money compared to many competitors. So for quality at a reasonable price, choose Grafters.  

Comfort - Possibly the most universally important feature, no matter what type of footwear you’re buying. Uncomfortable shoes or boots simply aren’t serving their purpose, so make sure to pick a pair with adequate arch and ankle support, as well as looking at the materials they’re made from.
