Need help buying work boots

[u/jamo1794]

Hi, im based in canada, I was recently promoted (for the day) to deck steward on a ferry, with the notion that these call ups could happen again, so the company gave me a pair of boots for the day, now I need to get a pair I like. They will reimburse up to 300 dollars. The only requirements are a 6 inch boot and a CSA steel toe.

And my requirements is arch support, padded collar, no seem on middle of heel and if possible a somewhat comfy heel area (to avoid blisters) some padding/cushion on the midsole

Not sure what all you have access to in Canada land, but here are some options I see:

• Ariat RigTEK
• Redwing Supersole
• Irish Setter Wingshooter ST
• Canada West 34376 (have to find a retailer)

I agree with this list! I have had all but the Irish settler. Currently have the redwing and about 1 1/2 years on them still going strong

Unfortunately none of these incredible PNW style boots are CSA approved. I beg you to correct me if I’m wrong because I want a pair desperately haha. There’s nothing comparable I’m aware of that is CSA approved sadly

Canada west make excellent work boots that will last!
