Most people decide to go for 8-inch work boots due to the extra safety and protection they offer
0:12
Sadly, things aren't easy when it comes to picking the best 8-inch work boots
0:16
Due to all these problems, and many more, I have decided to do the work myself
0:22
I extensively researched and tested lots of 8-inch work boots to arrive at a list of the best ones currently offered by manufacturers
0:30
Hey guys, today we're talking about Thrillgood's 8-inch Mock-Toe Max-Wear Wedge. These 8-inch Mock-Toe Max-Wear Wedges are available in both safety and non-safety tow
0:44
These Max-Wear Wedge boots are proudly made with a Goodyear Weld construction, meaning
0:48
that they can be resold if needed in the future. These 8 inch wedges are available in both tobacco and trail crazy horse leather
1:01
These boots proudly feature Thorogood's exclusive Maxwear wedge outsole. Best of all, these wedges are proudly made in the USA by UFCW's 688 and 717
1:14
This is Thorogood's 8 inch Mock Toe Maxwear Wedge, a tried and true American work boot
1:54
Today we're talking about Ground Force puncture resistant work boots
2:21
This is the CMR 8959. This is our men's 8-inch ground force waterproof insulated, non-metallic, puncture resistant
2:29
US and CSA certified work boot, which comes with a composite safety toe
2:34
These boots have a soft, oil-tanned leather, great durability with our ground force rubber
2:38
outsole coupled with our rubber molded toe cap. They have our Storm Defender waterproof breathable membrane, which keeps your feet dry and lets
2:46
them breathe They are insulated with our 400 gram 3M Thinslet to keep your feet warm When you wear these boots you can end the day as strong as you started because of our Insight Technology footbeds which provide maximum arch support and feel
2:58
like you have a custom orthotic built right into your work boot. These boots are not only unbelievably comfortable but they're also extremely lightweight
3:04
I was born in Honduras, was raised in Greece, and now I live in Portland, Oregon
3:13
My name is Alaini Vornis and I'm a foreman carpenter. I volunteered in Haiti after the big earthquake and at that time I had no experience whatsoever
3:28
in construction. I did everything that nobody else wanted to do. I learned a lot while I was there and I kind of came back hoping to do something like that
3:36
in order to have more experience. I feel like my inspiration comes with the challenge of when I'm told that I can't do something
3:49
I like to challenge that challenge. My aunt actually sent me news clipping from Oregon Trades Women and that kind of just snowballed
3:59
I got into the carpenters union, got into the apprenticeship. When I drive by places I build, I tend to point it out to the people in the car
4:10
You feel proud knowing all the work and energy and time commitment that went into those buildings
4:15
that now are functional and part of the landscape. Going home every day, just covered in concrete and really tired is gratifying
4:27
I want everyone to know that they can do absolutely anything they want
4:33
they put their mind to, that's what I'd like to pass down to future tradeswomen and future
4:38
tradespeople coming in. That's very important to me. Bates Footwear has built its reputation on making dependable, industry-leading boots and shoes for
4:50
the military, law enforcement, and public service professionals for over 130 years
4:56
Bates continues to innovate to meet and exceed the challenges of today's most demanding jobs
5:03
Bates Ultralights are designed with a durable leather and padded nylon upper
5:10
making them comfortable with no break-in time needed. The materials also make the boots easy to clean and always looking their best
5:18
The mesh upper allows your feet to breathe so heat travels up the tongue and dissipates the heat efficiently
5:25
keeping your feet cool and dry. The EVA midsole is lightweight and shock-absorbing
5:31
combined with the cushion removable insert so you can stay on your feet longer without feeling the strain Whether you encounter water oil or simply need extra traction the Ultralight Slip Rubber Outsole has you covered Available in several styles including 5 8 waterproof and safety toe
5:53
From the beginning, Danner has crafted work boots that are built tough
5:59
Since then, the Danner Quarry has become a staple on work sites
6:03
worn by the most experienced craftsmen, the ones that understand the value of a product that's built to last
6:13
This dedication to building products that can stand the test of time is not easy
6:19
It takes perfecting them year after year. As we released the new Denner Quarry, we focused first on the highest areas of wear
6:29
We found that the midsole was the first part to break down, so we updated it with an extremely durable 12-iron Vibram midsole
6:39
We also noticed how the back heel stitch was getting shredded, so we redesigned the stitch pattern, keeping it away from the high wear areas of the boot
6:49
Our constant desire for increased comfort led us to updating the collar of the boot with a system that integrates additional padding with a breathable liner
6:57
requiring no break-in time. And finally, the update we're most proud of
7:05
bringing the construction of the quarry to the United States, building it out of our Portland, Oregon factory
7:11
with select parts from around the world. These updates are our continued focus on craftsmanship
7:20
and our dedication to the standards of creating products that are built to last
7:25
The Danner Quarry USA, American Crafted for American Craftsmen. This is the Rocky Ironclad Waterproof Work Boot
7:37
The 7-Layer Oil and Slip Resistant Outsole features a tempered steel shank and provides stable footing while supporting your foot's arch
7:44
The polyurethane footbed and removable air port cushioning insert will keep your foot
7:50
comfortable while the EVA midsole provides flexibility and shock absorbing
8:05
If you're looking for comfortable footwear on and off the job site, this Rocky Ironclad
8:11
The All Terrain All Condition, or ATAC Coyote Boot, is designed for comfort and performance
8:20
in a hot and arid environment. The ATAC Coyote features a YKK side zipper for easy wear an oil and slip resistant outsole and a hidden pocket that can store a small key or knife Semi toe and heel reinforcements provide additional protection without pinching and the moisture wicking insoles
8:40
help keep your feet dry in high temperature environments. Like all 511 tactical boots
8:46
the Coyote comes equipped with our patented shock mitigation system, a multi-layer footbed
8:52
foundation that provides the support of a heavier boot, the comfort of a cross trainer
8:56
and the performance of a running shoe. This is the Philadelphia. Definitely ready to check it out, so let's get into it
9:02
This boot features what we're calling barnyard-resistant leather. It's much more resistant to chemicals, minerals, oils
9:08
This has the carbon fiber safety toe, and it comes in a 6-inch version
9:12
The Philadelphia features our Keene Polar Traction technology, which has these pads of microglass filaments that grab into ice
9:18
and provide optimal traction as you walk. Another new technology we brought in is this 3-quarter welt heel stabilizer system
9:25
This Philadelphia is featuring also an internal MetGuard for protection of the top of the foot in case of impact
9:31
All three boots have a puncture resistant plate as well. All these boots have Keen Dry waterproof breathable membranes
9:37
The Philadelphia is built for a lot of heavy duty jobs, but just for example, railroad, heavy machinery, excavation
9:43
general heavy construction, and metal manufacturing. Alright, Canada, there you have it. This is the boot for you. The Philadelphia
9:50
tech featured, tech packed. Go and get it. Check it out right now
9:54
I'm here to talk to you today about the Moab 2 8-inch waterproof boot
9:59
So let's take a look at what makes this boot great. So if we look at the upper, you can see we used a waterproof PU coating on the leathers
10:06
as well as a really durable mesh, which makes it a little bit more breathable
10:10
And you also will notice this stability arm across the lateral side, which gives it a lot of structure and stability in that upper as well
10:16
Now here you see we have the M-Select Dry tag on there. That means we used our Merrill M-Select Dry waterproof membrane
10:22
which is both waterproof as well as breathable. Also talking about the upper, you can see we added some abrasion resistance on the toe bumper
10:31
Now if we flip it around to the medial side, you can see we added this durable YKK zipper on here
10:36
which makes it easy to get on and off. And then if you open that up, you can see there's a bellows tongue as well
10:41
which keeps that debris out of the boot. Now like most Merrells, right under the heel we offer the Merrell Air Cushion
10:48
which is basically a little scoop out of the midsole with a layer of foam over the top
10:52
creating almost a trampoline effect for that heel. If we flip it over to the outsole, we used our TC5 Plus rubber from Vibram
11:01
for trusted traction all day long. Now this boot is also available in a mid-waterproof as well as a low-non-waterproof option
11:09
And that is your Moab 2 8-inch tactical waterproof boot
