Bates Jump boots with the side zipper. I have had them since my Army days and they are awesome. When the soles wear out, I just re-sole them.

Haix Airpower R1 or R2, they are comfy and my first pair is still being used as a back up set three years after I bought them. They are expensive but the quality is awesome.

I second this. Very comfy and awesome quality.

These rock.

I'm on my second pair.

Price is high but watch for Haix to out them on clearance or get a factory seconds pair.

These can be refurbed for about $50 as well.

Rocky AlphaForce
with Side Zipper
and Composite Toe

Like walking on clouds all day.

Only problem I have is the soles squeak on the station bay floors. Other than that, no problems.

I prefer a nice pair of Ugg boots. They keep your feet warm and cozy with the added bonus of being super stylish.

Redback slip ons, Easy to get on and off, and there super comfortable... only downside is they are hard to keep clean

Soooooo... had my first day today and when ordering my uniform they told me that they include new boots for all employees! So thank you to everyone for the input, and if I need to get boots in the future I will definitely revisit this thread but luckily I won't have to be buying my own anytime soon! Once I get them I'll let you know what kind they are!

Hands down Bates GX-8 they feel soft right off the bat. Lots of ankle support Gore Tex so they stay dry, Insulated so they are warm not hot during summer.

But, the best waterproof side zipper so they come off easy for recline time

Cheers

I dont even bother looking at boots that dont have side zips. They really make all the difference in the world.

Letting out some of that funk that builds up in there over the course of a 24 hour shift feels soooo good.

I love the Redback slip ons! I just got a pair of Wolverine something or other - hope they're as comfy!

I've had Thorogoods, Warringtons, 5.11 and Haix. I will wear nothing but Haix from now on!
