Hey fellow brewery workers and enthusiasts!

A crucial aspect of work attire is the boots we wear. Whether you’re brewing or cellering, having the right pair of boots can make a significant difference in comfort, safety, and overall productivity.

I’m curious to hear from all of you about the boots you use in a brewery setting and the reasons behind your choices. Are you a die-hard fan of a specific brand, or do you prefer certain features that cater to the brewery environment? Perhaps you’ve found a particular style that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and comfort? Share your insights and experiences!

Cheers! 🍻

    Been a Bekina wearer for 5+ years now. Comfortable, for my feet at least. Price is modest at ~$120 a pair for steel toes. Durability is mostly great: I’ve had some last 2+ years of the daily grind and some tear after <6 months. Good news is that their customer service is top notch and swapped out any pair that developed a tear when under warranty (1 year). Made in Belgium so most likely not sweatshop labor.

      These look extremely promising actually. The only thing that I’m noticing is that all of the options seem to have an insulation rating, being summer currently, do they get hot?

        Unless you get the extra insulated ones they’re not hotter than any other boot in my experience.
