I dont know the brand, becuase there just 'the ones that look like that from there' but most of the people at the union (lighting rigging) are wearing fabric boots that are very comfortable and quite cheap.
- They basicaly look like trainers, but with toe caps. No midsoles however. If you need them.

We're not allowed riggers on some clients sites now as they are saying that they don't provide enough ankle support.

Have a look on Cromwells site, they have some nice hiking style work boots.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'm also voting for Doc Martins from Arco -about £45 and worth every penny

these dickies

very comfortable and long lasting. cost me about £40 a year or so ago, so unless they have gone up a lot should be cheaper than that site elsewhere


edited to add cheaper link

Look at http://www.nisbets.co.uk/

OK they are Caterers, but their prices and delivery is pretty good.

I buy a lot from them now.
They have lots of good quality stuff at reasonable prices.

Also pretty good for catering stuff as well

Cheers
