The steel toe is spacious increasing comfort though it does add to the weight of the boot. The Goodyear welt construction increases stability and strength of the shoe while making it easier to use. However, it’s electrical hazard rated and has a lace-up design. One fascinating feature of this unit is that it is affordable as it is a mid-range price boot. However, the features found on it are for premium boots. The boot is a Goodyear welt construction which increases the stability and strength while making it a bit more work friendly. Other than the advanced tech you will appreciate the full-grain leather used in construction as it increases longevity and the rubber sole as increases traction. The lace-up design allows for adjustability, and you can get a custom fit. Moreover, there is the collar which keeps you warm while providing support. First, always brush the dust and dirt away after a work day, and clean with mild soap and warm water after periods of rugged use. Ensure you rinse all soap. Drying should be done at room temperature and ensure the boot is fully opened, and insole and laces are removed.

First, you will appreciate the design. The boots measure 8-inches from the arch resulting in a lovely look, and they are available in various colors. Moreover, they feature CAT’s Ergo technology, and iTechnology (more on this later). The Caterpillar Carlie is a classic work boot that combines toughness with an athletic design. It is comfortable while still being functional. You can use them to step into town, to go into the office or for industrial work. This versatility is what increases the boots appeal. Outer sole – The Caterpillar Second Shift outer sole increases traction, and it is oil and slip resistant. It is also one solid piece that is glued on to the construction, and thus it will last longer.

Steel Toe

Topping the list for the best Caterpillar boots is the Second Shift Men’s steel toe boot. First, the boot is rugged, has classic styling, and is brown. It is built to be comfortable and durable for both heavy-duty and light tasks. Finally, the boots increase support with the generously padded tongue and collar. Nevertheless, our best features were the insole and quality. Waterproof – The full grain leather uppers are waterproof which increases the versatility as you can use the boots in dry and wet weather. If you are on the hunt for a boot that you can use in snow, mud, and water; one that will keep your feet dry at all times without affecting the quality, then consider the Revolver steel toe boot. Though we love rugged work boots, there are instances where classic, stylish boots trump the standard work shoes as is the case with the Caterpillar Echo. First, these are work boots but with an athletic design. They are great for outdoor work, as well as casual wear when stepping into town.

A Goodyear welt is a design to attach the leather uppers to the sole of the shoe. It entails a welt, which is often a strip of leather that is on the perimeter of the bottom. The welt is sewn into the upper, then glued to the sole and later stitched to the sole too. The design improves water resistance and makes the boot easy to repair as the welt acts as a buffer between the insole and outsole. The shortcoming of a Goodyear welt is that it is pricey owing to use of more materials and labor. Small fitting shoes result in ailments such as blisters and corns while large boots will rub raw certain places leading to discomfort. Therefore, get an appropriate pair especially when working for long hours. The Carlie is built to last. It is for heavy-duty industries and areas were women will eat through the tread. First, the uppers are 100% leather and thus can withstand harsh conditions. Furthermore, the sole is rubber therefore has higher traction. The Goodyear Welt Construction ensures flexibility especially the area near the toe box, and thus you can squat with ease. One must invest in work boots seeing as the toes are the most protruding part of the body. Therefore, there is a high likelihood of falling objects or rolling objects crushing your toes. Thus you need sturdy work boots, so you are ever safe.

Construction

You will also appreciate the safety that the boot has from electrical hazard protection, and thus you can use it in areas with open circuits to deep treads that increase grip and leading edges that allow water to sip out. Finally, there is a steel toe that protects against compression and impact. The Caterpillar Men’s Endure is a bit pricey compared to the other shoes on this guide, and thus we recommend them for people on a budget. One remarkable feature of the Endure is the speed lace design that allows for a better custom fit. The hooks on the top will enable you to slide out and wear the boots with ease.
