Decent workboot for the summer?

[stoneb]

I'm in need of new black or brown work boots, for a job that has me walking around outside for 9 hours a day in what will soon be 110-120 degree heat. I don't know **** about boots, so I thought maybe you folks could recommend me a pair up to $200.

Let me know if ******** anything up with this thread, as I'm obviously very new.

If you mention the exact purpose for the boots, you may get a better response. For yard work I wear Blundstones.

Walking around is the exact purpose. I wear a GPS on my back and walk around city parks to map them out. To get more specific, I guess, I'll be walking through brush and on grass, rocks, and dirt, and I might get sprayed by sprinklers a little bit.

I also meant to say that I'm willing to spend up to $200.

The Russell Safari PH boot sounds perfect for you.
Or Palladium canvas boots. I have no experience with these. You can purchase from Orvis.

Thanks a bunch for all of the input and suggestions so far.

That thread did not turn up when I hit the boots tag, but I did see it the other day and don't need professional-grade safety boots. I'm required to wear them as a part of my uniform, but I wanted advice on ones for hot as balls weather. edit: I just ran searches for "boots" and "summer boots," instead of just hitting the tag, but they weren't of any help

My advice would be shop an outdoors store, i.e. REI, for hiking boots. You want to try on the boot to insure a great fit. Also, buy some socks that will wick the moisture away from
your feet.

In any case, just get a pair of these: http://www.redwingshoe.com/productde...px?prodid=1043 Can be had on e-bay for under $150. Water repellent. Super comfortable. Extremely durable. Free cleanings and repairs in-store.

So far, my post is best.

I kindly disagree. I asked all of my friends and none of them like your post.
