Should I get work boots with laces?

There are pros and cons with lace up welding boots and you have to decide if they’re right for you or if you’d prefer slip on welding boots.

Over the years I’ve seen welders walking around with burnt laces. It’s crucial that if you’re welding you don’t have normal laces that are exposed. Some people will use either raw hide laces or Kevlar laces. Out of these, the kevlar laces are my preferred choice because they offer the same flexibility as a normal pair of laces.

The only problem with having these exposed laces is that you can sometimes still get spatter in your boot. The last thing you want is molten metal burning through your foot whilst you struggle to get your boot off.

If you’re going to buy lace up welding boots then you need to get a pair with a metatarsal guard. These boots have a protective covering over the laces to protect your feet and your boots from damage.

If you really want to avoid any dangers which may arise from have boots with laces, then slip on boots are the perfect choice.

Slip on boots are quick to take on and off (handy if you get a bit piece of hot spatter on them). You also never have to worry about replacing laces or getting dust in your socks.

If you’re going to be wearing your boots for extended periods, you’ll need them to fit comfortably and provide good ankle support. Lace up boots are the best choice for this. Lace-up boots can easily be adjusted to fit comfortably around your foot and have the perfect level of tightness. Slip on boots tend to not offer the same level of comfort or stability. If you’re in cold conditions then lace ups can be warmer because of the snug fit.

Best Welding Boots 2019 for Welders

A pair of boots might not be high on your list of priorities when it comes to welding accessories, but for serious or professional welders a good pair of welding boots is a must. This is especially true with overhead welding, where anything that falls down can burn whatever you’re wearing. Instead of ruining good pairs of shoes (or worse – your feet!) invest in a pair of welding boots that will keep you safe for years to come. Look for a pair that has a metatarsal guard to protect the top of your foot – as well as the laces – or a steel toe cap to guard against any bumps or knocks you might encounter around your workshop. 1.
