Hey fellow brewery workers and enthusiasts!

A crucial aspect of work attire is the boots we wear. Whether you’re brewing or cellering, having the right pair of boots can make a significant difference in comfort, safety, and overall productivity.

I’m curious to hear from all of you about the boots you use in a brewery setting and the reasons behind your choices. Are you a die-hard fan of a specific brand, or do you prefer certain features that cater to the brewery environment? Perhaps you’ve found a particular style that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and comfort? Share your insights and experiences!

Cheers! 🍻

    Been a Bekina wearer for 5+ years now. Comfortable, for my feet at least. Price is modest at ~$120 a pair for steel toes. Durability is mostly great: I’ve had some last 2+ years of the daily grind and some tear after <6 months. Good news is that their customer service is top notch and swapped out any pair that developed a tear when under warranty (1 year). Made in Belgium so most likely not sweatshop labor.

      These look extremely promising actually. The only thing that I’m noticing is that all of the options seem to have an insulation rating, being summer currently, do they get hot?

        Unless you get the extra insulated ones they’re not hotter than any other boot in my experience.

          I got a pair. Today is my first day wearing them so far I’m really digging them

          Alright I’ve had them for over 7 months now. I replaced the insole pretty quick with the ones I got for my previous boots, but other than that they have no visible wear or signs of cracking in the usual places. They’ve lasted longer than my last 3 sets of boots did. Definitely an awesome pair. Thanks for the recommendation

          Gotcha. Ok cool. I’m pretty sure these are going to be my next pair.
