Comfort

Whenever I go shopping for lightweight steel toe boots, I am consciously aware of the fact that the comfort of a boot determines how often I wear the boot. In fact, it may at times even determine your preference for one to another. The key to picking the best lightweight boot is to check the sole flexibility, the cushioning on insoles and the quality of fabric all of which combined work to a wholesome comfortable experience. Comfort means reduced friction and thus minimal chances of blistering.

Durability

I have worked in some extremely rough weather and environmental conditions including a construction site and if there is anything that experience has taught me is that boot durability is paramount. You want to buy a shoe that will not be ideal for bad weather and rough conditions but also one that will allow your feet to “breath” –that is, you are looking for boots with breathable material which is also water resistant. This way your feet can breathe in a humid environment which is known to foster the growth of fungal infection.

My number one choice for this category (but I have to mention with close competition from the first runners up- Rocky Mobilite Steel Toe Boot) was:
