Boots Buying Help Ariat vs keen

2 Upvotes

My job has 150 dollar reimbursement/ coupon code for steeltoeshoes. Com every year. So January I'll have a new reimbursement

Last year I picked up KEEN Utility 6" Composite Toe WP Work.

Before I decide on these again. How are any of the Ariat safety/ steel toes? I saw a few adds for the neos but they don't stock on the site yet.

I work in a manufacturing plant with constant walking ( 10 to 15k steps a shift. ) lifting aluminum and steel molds up to 200+ pounds for compression molding rubber. Plus the rubber going in them. Large amount of chemicals and solvents and heat extremes.

Boots Buying Help I built a boot comparison site — what work boot brands am I missing?

2 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I've been working on BootPrices.com, a site that lets you explore boots from different brands and compare options by price.

I'm trying to make it genuinely useful for people who are shopping for work boots.
I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who know brands well:

  • Which brands should I add?
  • What boots are hard to find or compare online?
  • What filters or information would make a site like this more useful?
  • What would make you actually use a comparison site instead of shopping directly with a retailer?

Full disclosure: I built the site, and it uses affiliate links so that I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Here's the site: https://bootprices.com/work/
And I've got the work boot filter on, but you can drill down into your favorite brands as well.

Honest criticism is welcome. I'd rather hear what's missing or frustrating and see if I can make it better.

Thanks.
