Tiling boots???

[Rich]

Iv got my feet in a bowl of hot water :nopity:
I am doing a LOT of floors at the moment, I wear a back support as I suffer with a bad back and Iv never had problems with my knees dur to good knee pads. The problem is my feet, kneeling down for days and days at a time takes its toll. Does anybody else have the same problem? What boots do you guys wear? Is there such a thing as a pair of boots for tiling? I know RUBI do a range of boots but I dont know if they are just work boots with a RUBI lable on them. As always all and any feed back is appreciated.:smilewinkgrin:

I just wear standard safety boots, altho some makes can irritate the steelwork in my ankle, dickies boots are fine for me. You maybe need to make sure you've got the right fitting boots

It's always my ankles that hurt when doing big floors. I were trainers though so probably doesn't help.

i find same when on floors for weeks,ankles,toes etc ! i'd love to find a good pair myself.I use strauss direct safety trainers and they have an aluminium toe caps,nice and light but a bit expensive.

Trainers here... i only do domestic , so don't want to wear cumbersome boots in wetrooms etc..

Thanks, I do struggle as I have stupidly large clown feet, but Its more the tops of my feet and toes. Have been through a few different makes over the years and none that are really any better than the 1s before. Wanted to know if there was a make designed for kneeling down all day long, rather than just for protection from above.

try caterpillar wiregate boots, excellent, cant recommend them enough!!!

they are about £65-00p but theres a guy on ebay who regularly sells them in scotland. i got pair for £31-00p in honey colour. they sell in black and brown too...google them and there a few bargain around....

Iv done only domestic for the last year or so, Iv tryed trainers and they dont have enough support and steel cap boots have to much! I cant win. Maybe I should wear fluffy bunny slippers.
