Traditionally, work-boots have been heavy, clumsy and by and large not pieces of footwear that you associate with comfort. Well suffer no more! Here at Couriersdepot.com we’ve researched the market in this area (do refer to our blog here our-top-pick-steel-toe-cap-boots-for-protection-comfort on our top five work-boots) and so we thought we’d give you the low-down on one of our favourites in that list.
The Scruffs Switchback 3 has got that all important chunky feel, yet blends that ruggedness with the ability to be super comfortable at the same time. It’s also not too cumbersome a boot to wear, which aids in its ease o wear whilst driving. But what is it that makes it so? Well, it’s a combination of factors.
A Padded Upper Ankle Support
Cut at a low angle to enable maximum flexibility and comfortable driving (no chafing of the ankle on these boots!), the padded upper is designed to hold your foot securely and comfortably. It’s also water resistant, as is the whole of the upper area of the boot, and is well balanced in terms of the split between leather and material in the construction – you get the protection of the leather and the welcome comfort of the soft material in the upper support area.
A Soft Padded Tongue
The tongue of any boot will have a huge impact on its overall comfort – Scruffs have employed the same material used in the ankle support here to provide a soft cushion to forward movement. Sitting snugly within the boot and water resistant to provide that protection, it’s been well designed and does a great job at providing vital support and ease of wear so needed in such a boot.
Excellent Sole Cushioning
The heel area of the sole is firmly yet well cushioned, giving both a secure and snug fit for the foot, yet providing sufficient impact absorption from heavy steps. The cushioning extends down through the sole, as you’d expect, enhancing the overall wearability – we weren’t itching to get them off when we’d worn them put it that way!
Excellent Support Throughout the Sole
For any shoe or boot to be comfortable, it must provide good support to the whole foot, more so for a work boot due to the function that it is to support. The Scruffs Switchback has a supremely solid yet flexible sole, enhanced by a composite mid-plate that provides extra mid-sole protection form sharps and adds to the support.
The UK’s Lightest Steel Toecap Shoe
These are the lightest steel toe-capped boots currently on the market in the UK at just 1.38 kg. The last thing you need in any job that can be physically demanding is a pair of heavy, cumbersome boots – Scruffs really have totally nailed it with these, comfy, tough and light. They are literally all you could want in a boot.
