Tiling boots???

[Rob Z]

Doug LOL

Dylan, I always get shoes and boots with a steel toe and the heaviest, thickest steel shank in the sole that I can find.

Another trick is what we learn in the military, have two or more pairs and rotate them from day-to-day.

Are Red Wings sold in the UK?

A tip from Darren at nett, kneel on a couple of pieces of Kingspan (that insulating board) duct taped together. Saves your knees and the height it gives you means your toes aren't cramped.

I wear dickes steel toe cap trainers, I find them more comfortable and slightly lighter than boots but if I'm on my knees all day the ends of my toes ache and very back of my heel.

What back support is it you wear? I also suffer from sore backs

Always find steel toe boots to be about the most uncomfortable thing to wear when you're on your knees. Just wear the old faithful Reebok Classics for domestic work. I seem to be very sore on trainers, no matter what make/brand/quality, they all seem to burst around the toes sooner or later.

Always thought that Adidas Superstars might be a very good tiling shoe with the rubber toe.

Think it needs your cowboy hat Doug to complete the look, answered the door like that then?

I mentioned this to my osteopath about a back support and said that it could cause more back problems in the future because the mucles in the back can become lazy
