Most Comfortable Composite Toe Shoes 2018 – Buyers Guide

Steel toed boots are awesome, but let’s face it: they aren’t the best option for every profession.

Outwardly, it’s hard to differentiate between the two kinds of boots, but the toe in composite toe boots is generally made of plastic, Kevlar aramid fiber, carbon fiber, or a combination of these, to reinforce the front of the boot and to provide strong protection to the front of the foot.

Your boots need to be comfortable, roomy, well designed, insulated, and most of all, meet ASNI standards. So how do you find the most comfortable composite toe boots for you? Well, you can start with this tally of the best boots on the market!

The Most Comfortable Composite Toe Shoes – Top 5

1. Timberland PRO Men’s 6 Inch Boondock Comp Toe WP Insulated Industrial Work Boot

The Timberland PRO Men’s 6 Inch Boondock is the big daddy of composite toe workboots. The Timberland brand itself is synonymous with good quality and durable gear. This particular set of work boots are made from imported leather, with a thick synthetic sole.

The shaft is approximately 6″ from the arch of the boot. In front, the design puts the boot together to be completely insulated and waterproof, with a closely seamed lace-up in front, and a thick padded collar, that cushions the boot even more.

The Boondock boasts a thick toe cap made of Timberland PRO rubber, which makes the boot near impenetratable, without adding too much to the weight. The toe cap is a molded rubber toe bumper, and an additional heel-guard, the Ever-Guard heel overlay, which prevents scuffing, is at the back of the boot.

The entire Boondock work boot is covered in a waterproofing membrane that doubly protects the waterproofed leather and keeps the interior of the boot toasty and dry. The shoe itself has Anti-Fatigue technology, so the boot is designed to distribute the stress on the foot and reduce stress on the arches of the foot, preventing you from tiring.

2. Thorogood Men’s Composite Safety Toe Gen Flex 804-4445 6-Inch Work Boot

The Thorogood Men’s Composite Safety Toe work boot is a heavy duty boot that can be used for long hours on a work site. Just one look at the boots will make it apparent that this is a boot that means business.

The boots are undeniably tough. While a little more bulky than, say, a Timberland boot, the bulk is partly because of the front and side bumpers, making the boot more abrasion resistant, and to some extent protected against scratches too.

The cap it all off (pun intended), the toe cap has is a industrial strength abrasion resistant composite safety toe (which meets ASTM F2413-11 M I/75/C/75 standards).

3. Carhartt Men’s CMF6366 6 Inch Composite Toe Boot

The Carhatt Men’s Composite Toe Boot is a great alternative for people looking for a sturdy work boot that doesn’t ring up too high a price.

The boot is made of leather, with a thick rubber sole, and the trademark Carhartt Rugged Flex technology, which adds a lot of pliancy and flexibility to the boot.

The sole of the boot boasts very good shock absorption capability, seconded by reviewers. The outsole is cement constructed and also Rugged Flex, plus very supportive to the sole and the arches of the foot.

4. Carhartt Men’s CMF6371 Rugged Flex Six Inch Waterproof Work Boot

A variant of the previous Carhatt work boot, the Rugged Flex 6″ Waterproof version is, above all, waterproof, which automatically makes it more durable and more versatile in use.

The Carhatt Rugged Flex Waterproof work boot is made of pure leather, with a waterproofing membrane covering, which makes any falling water droplets bead up and fall off.

5. Bates Men’s Enforcer 5 Inch SZ Leather Nylon SEMC Uniform Work Boot

The Bates Men’s Enforcer has a name that deserves a movie of its own- and so does the boot. It is a singularly solid piece of footwear, with a blocky cut shape in front, and doubly fitted heel at the back of the boot. The boots are made of imported leather and fabric, with a heavy rubber sole.
