In my long career as a hands-on builder, I have spent more hours than I care to think about working on my knees. My 75-year-old knees have held up well, but I can’t say the same about my work boots. The toes of my boots have always been the problem. They have quickly worn through as I’ve worked on hard, abrasive surfaces such as roofs, concrete slabs, and masonry paving.
The Brunt Perkins boot has solved this problem for me by adding a robust rubber toe cap in this vulnerable spot. After a year of use, the toes show no sign of wear. The rest of the boots, including the soles, have proven to be durable too.

The author found the thick toe cap of the Brunt Perkins boot to be a great advantage in wear. After a year of use, the toes show no almost no sign of wear.
Like all work boots, the Perkins comp toe work boot is built more for durability and safety than comfort. I didn’t expect them to feel like track shoes or hiking boots, but I found them tolerably comfortable right out of the box. They have an OSHA-accepted safety toe, which is made of a composite rather than steel. They are also water-resistant. These are excellent work boots that are built to last. Unlike other high-quality work boots, they come with a moderate price tag of $160. All in all, a very good deal. bruntworkwear.com
