If you work a job where your shoes and the materials they're made from can actually save your life, it's important to know the names Carhartt and Timberland. Both companies have well-earned reputations for making work-related attire that can be relied upon to do its job. However, Carhartt, manufacturer of work-related attire since 1889, has only recently stepped into the area of professional work boots.

Carhartt makes premium flame resistant clothing, as well as jeans, jackets, shirts, and tee-shirts specifically designed for on-the-job performance. Their standards of excellence are well-known, and they design clothes with safety, comfort, and function in mind. With these goals in mind, it was only a matter of time till they designed a quality work boot for use on and off the job.

Their new line of work boots meets each of the company's high standards. For example, the Carhartt Logger work boot features full grain waterproof leather, Goodyear welt construction, heat/oil/slip resistant soles, and the option of steel toe construction. They're well made and built to last.

Timberland boots, of course, make some of the finest and most trusted work boots worn on any job site. In addition to inventing the waterproof seal that is now standard in the industry, Timberland work boots take advantage of modern technologies to keep workers safe while on the job. Their Pro series have features that protect against electrical hazards, plus titanium alloy toe caps, and other materials which provide maximum function while keeping feet cool--and, of course, that signature Timberland comfort.
