The first thing that wears out on most work boots is the sole. That’s why Scruffs have made sure the ones on the Gravity are extra durable.

Nowadays rigger safety boots are worn by most types of manual worker as a general purpose work boot, because of the ease of donning and comfort. The ankle area is padded, giving you a relative degree of ankle support. There’s also a TPU support for your heel. SAFETY FEATURES: Other features include energy absorbing heel that reduces foot fatigue; anti-static sole that minimises the build-up of electrostatic charges; slip resistant sole

That said, the ankle area is firm enough that these boots will keep you safe while gardening, farming, and performing other general tasks on uneven terrain. The Dr Marten's ladies rigger boot, the Rosa, is our ladies customers' favourite. As a ladies rigger boot, it combines all the characteristics of a safety rigger boot, but also with a stylish feminine design, premium leather, and cosy furlining for comfort. There aren’t any features that set these boots apart in terms of durability. That said, these humble boots have all the standard elements that give work boots their toughness:

The ankle is padded, but if you prefer robust, fail-safe ankle support, it’s best to go for a different pair — like the DeWalt Tungstens. Comfort DURABLE & VERSATILE: Combining durability and versatility, these JCB boots are perfect for heavy-duty work and outdoor tasks. They are an essential addition to any men's workwear and utility collection.Rigger boots take a lot of abuse, but no other part of them suffers more than the sole.

Despite their many features, these work boots have a surprisingly reasonable price point. Ankle Support Comfortable, durable, and inexpensive — isn’t this all you need from a pair of rigger boots? Apart from a minor downside, the pair below seems to hit all 3 of these criteria; read on and see for yourself. Ankle Support

Durability shouldn’t be an issue with these rigger boots — not under most conditions, anyway. The full-grain leather upper is triple-stitched, with a steel-capped toe, while the outsole is made with welted Goodyear rubber. The composition of the sole also adds a great deal of toughness to these boots — more on that below. Consider the waterproof rigger boots: the V12 Tomahawk waterproof Safety Rigger Boots and the Dunlop Purofort Rigair waterproof rigger boot or the Amblers Green Waterproof rigger boot and the Stanley Waterproof rigger. You’ll get a sole that’s tested up to 200 degrees which is dual density, a steel toe cap and mid sole protection. The Apache Traction rigger boots are a pure contender for the DeWalt Tungsten, and not just because they’re cheaper. These boots comprise multiple upper panels that are designed specifically to provide top-grade ankle support. This feature isn’t too common among rigger boots, and makes this pair a great option for working on rough terrain. ComfortA safety rigger boot is a particular type of pull-on boot, like a leather wellington, which is widely used in the United Kingdom. Balancing comfort and durability isn’t always simple — tough materials are typically hard on the skin. And these boots are definitely more durable than they are comfortable (although they’re just snug enough that you can have them on without issues for an 8-10 hour shift.)
