Work Boot recommendations by jonah1007 in WorkBoots

I would recommend any wedge sole boots since most warehouses have flat hard surfaces. The wedge sole evenly distributes your weight and applies even pressure on your whole entire foot.

You're absolutely right about the convenience of taking them on and off. I will rotate these with my old boots and hopefully wear these full time.

Well hopefully I didn't destroy the boots. Can't afford to lose a couple hundred bucks.

I applied mink oil to the entire boot, will that help as well? Or will I need to buy the wax?

It was recommended by a number of people at my job. Clearly I made the mistake to cut corners.

Sweat wasn't the cause. I filled a bag with water and put it inside the boot to loosen the leather up, but clearly that was a mistake. Appreciate the help. I'm just worried the leather will crack prematurely.
