Any suggestions on a good place to by toe protector boots/shoes, where you can go in and try them on?


Army&Navy stores(are they still going)? Or any industrial clothing outlets.

Having tried various boots in the past and finding them too heavy to be comfortable all day, I bought some DeWalt Trainers 2 (DW TRAIN 13) from TLC.

They were happy for me to have them and return them if I wasn't happy, plus the price was good and they were the only place that had size 13s at the time.

I can wear them quite happily all day and they are only a bit heavier in terms of feel than normal trainers. I can feel the toecap if I curl my toes up, but that's about it.

I know where to go in our area, but that would be useless to you. Try Yellow pages for somewhere local to you

Asda. I'm wearing a pair now and they're very comfortable.

Ha - Toe-rays!

Would you believe that Lidl had some a few weeks ago. They will all be gone by now.

I got some Toesaver trainers from CPC recently. They seem quite nice for the money with full leather uppers. Again comparable weight to a havyish shoe rather than a lightweight trainer.

I have their catalogue. Greenhams is another for safety products.

Arco tend to be expensive at catalogue prices, so discount negotiation is needed.
