Steel Toe Wellington Boots

Steel Toe Wellington boots are ranchers' favorites. You'll see them on the back porches of most farm houses, lined up under benches in stables, and on workers feet. Why are they so popular? Because they protect your pants, calves and shins. The steel toes protect your feet from injury from above. In addition, they're easy to pull on. Since ...they're styled similarly to cowboy boots, Wellington boots are often called "Western Wellingtons." But Wellington boots do look different than cowboy boots. They have rounder toes, lower heels, and tops that are straighter across. The rounder toes provide a wider toe box, and many people who can't fit into cowboy boots can wear Wellington boots. This type of boot was originally designed to provide waterproof protection for people walking through rain, over muddy terrain, and across water-drenched fields of wet grasses. They're usually waterproof. Wellington boots come in all-rubber, all-leather, and combination models. The boots' waterproofing is either provided by the material, a waterproof lining (like Gore-Tex), or some sort of treatment. Rubber Wellington boots are waterproof. Leather Wellington boots are naturally water resistant, but are often sprayed with a layer of waterproofing. Many industries require their workers to wear different types of Wellington boots. The steel toe models are mandated by many OSHA regulations in various industries. Although you'll most often see them on ranch workers and farmers, different styles of Wellington boots are worn in the meat packing industry, by shrimpers, to pour concrete and seal driveways, and by surveyors.
