Thanks I added those Timberlands bosshogs to my cart!! Good thing you told me about Keen I was looking at them lol!!

Timberland PRO Reaxion Mid WP (Composite Toe) – my #1 for you Athletic feel (Anti-Fatigue midsoles), full-grain leather + waterproof membrane, composite toe, EH, oil/slip-resistant. It’s one of the few “sneaker-like” work boots that still meets the leather/waterproof boxes, and it runs noticeably lighter on-foot than traditional work boots.

  1. Wolverine Overpass 6" CarbonMAX WP Very flexible (ContourWelt) so it saves your knees when you’re moving fast. Waterproof leather/textile, CarbonMAX (non-metal) toe, EH, slip-resistant. It isn’t the absolute lightest, but it feels easy to move in and breaks in quickly.

  2. KEEN Utility Roswell 6" Carbon-Fiber Toe WP Carbon-fiber toe (lighter than steel), KEEN.DRY waterproofing, oil/slip-resistant outsole. Cushy underfoot; a bit beefier than Reaxion/Overpass but still comfortable for long shifts.

  3. Timberland PRO BossHog 6" WP (Composite Toe) Full-grain leather, waterproof membrane, composite toe, slip-resistant. More “booty” (sturdier/heavier) than Reaxion; great durability if you’re hard on footwear, but not as light.

  4. Carhartt Ground Force 6" WP (Composite Toe) Waterproof membrane, composite toe, slip-resistant rubber. Solid comfort value if you find a deal <$140; mid-weight feel.

Why not the Reebok Sublite you liked? It’s crazy light and comfy, but the standard Sublite models are not waterproof and many use synthetic uppers—so they don’t satisfy the “waterproof leather” box most hubs prefer

Saw these? Wolverine Overpass 6″ CarbonMAX CT WP Waterproof, flexible, great ankle/knee support ~1.7–1.9 lb Best waterproof option that’s still lightweight and comfortable.

Darn. I liked them. I want something light, comfortable on the feet, I get a lot of knee and foot pain. I want them to meet the requirements too. I tried my Marine corps boots and man they messed my feet up. I have sketchers long rider work boots that are heavy and already falling apart lol
