I need to get a pair of Safety shoes, I'll be on my feet all day in 100+ temps.
Don't really want boots. Something for a business casual.

(Yeah, Engineer walking the plant floor)

Any recommendations, Something I can get local to SE michigan area.

red wing shoes

$$$$$$$$ but comfortable

Safety for just non slip type shoes? If so try Rockports or Doc Martens. again a little pricey, but only thing I have found to be comfortable when on your feet all day and that will last longer then 3 months.

I think we have a good selection of safety toe lower cut boots, I will check and see what we have at Rockys Great Outdoors.

I have about 10 pair, all from Redwing Shoes. They are not that expensive. Just make sure you get the right size....if they are a little big, they feel like shit.

 

[Paul04TJ]

I should mention, I'll be expensing these!

Safety Toe, and probably non-slip

I work in a lab and have to go out on the factory floor all the time so I wear my steel toes all day. IMHO, like others have said above, Redwing is the way to go. The shoes I have are like a boot/shoe but are not too hot and very comfortable. Below is a link-

i like the industrial Doc martens. I stopped buying anything but Doc martens after having wasted money on a few other brands that ended up not working out for me. the Doc's are a little expensive, but their boots last me years. and constantly kneeling and dragging the feet when working in a garage will tear boots up in a matter of months. specially the toes.

i get the regular doc marten boots for everyday wear, and the industrial Doc's for work. only steel toe and only boots. you'll never see me wear anything else..

I spent last week down at Ford's KCAP plant (90+ outside, 100+ inside and very high humidity)...bring the Gold Bond for your tea bag.

Ford does not require safety shoes, so I wear Doc Martens. I have the style with green canvas on the inside. No problem with comfort on my feet all day.

If a hiker/trainer style shoe falls under the business casual category, Converse has a few reasonably priced ($60) models which are oil/slip resistant and have a safety toe. A few of my co-workers swear by them and wear them daily even though we're not required to wear safety shoes.

They told us Ford Hermosillo requires them, and our plants there does also.

I just bought a pair of the Doc Maarten's and they're the best so far.
I got mine on eBay for $39.
Steel toe, oil resistant.

I just double checked and you are correct. Hermosillo does require them. But that plant is air conditioned...so the Gold Bond is optional.

I don't think I want to travel to Mexico carrying a container of white powder! :tonka:

I like Rocky or Danner boots. I usually go for the steeltoe swat boots. Ive never had a comfort issue with them.
