What You Must Know About Warehouse Work Boots Before Buying A Pair

If this is the first time having to buy and wear work boots then you might have some questions related to what to look for and more. So let’s try and answer some of those questions in order to (hopefully) eliminate any doubts you might have.

Do you need steel toe boots for warehouse work?

Whether you need a steel toe or any safety toe work boot to work in a warehouse will depend on the company you’re working for.

Some warehouses will require you to wear some kind of safety toe work boot at all times.

And some others will ask you to wear safety toe footwear when moving material around the warehouse but will allow you to wear sneakers when doing inventory.

So ask your warehouse supervisor or foreman (or future supervisor if you’re about to start a new job) what the policy regarding warehouse footwear is before you buy a new pair of boots.

You don’t want to spend money buying a pair of boots you won’t be allowed to wear.

Can you wear Timberland in a warehouse?

I assume you’re asking if you can wear the iconic yellow Timbs and the answer is similar to what we’ve talked about above.

Some warehouses will allow you to work with non-safety work boots whilst others require full PPE at all times (and other warehouses have a mix of the two).

In case you can’t wear your classic Timberland to your warehouse job, don’t worry, I have put together a nice round-up with the most popular Timberland PRO work boots.

So you can still get your hands on a nice pair of Timberland boots that are considered PPE.

But before you do anything, just ask the warehouse supervisor what’s the policy related to warehouse footwear and then take

Who makes decent-priced boots for warehouse work?

First I should define “decent price” since what could mean decent price for me might not mean decent price for you and vice versa.

To me, a boot that’s under 150-200 bucks that has the right features for my line of work and lasts at least one year, they’re good decent priced boots.

There are a few models in this round-up that meet my criteria of a “decently priced” boots and some of those are:

KEEN Lansing
Wolverine Overpass
Redback Easy Escape

Some of the boots listed above are more affordable than others and since you’re thinking about decent-priced boots I’m assuming you’re looking for affordable boots for your warehouse job.

One thing I want to recommend to you based on my own experience: DO NOT BUY THE CHEAPEST WORK BOOTS from unknown or very little-known work boots brands.

Cheap and poorly constructed work boots will kill your feet!

The work boots I’ve featured in this article are recommended by people who work or have worked in a warehouse and they’ve worn these boots.

Shoes vs boots: what’s best for working in a warehouse?

This will come down to personal preferences. I’d recommend you to try both, sneakers and boots and see what feels better for your feet based on the conditions of the warehouse you’re working at.

In some warehouses, you simply can’t wear shoes or sneakers due to the environment being wet or cold.

And even if you have a job in a nice and dry warehouse, personally I’d still recommend work boots over shoes, or sneakers just because it offers more support.

Or have boots for the first 3 quarters of your shift and then swap to shoes or sneakers for the last few hours to allow your feet to decompress and relax a little bit by wearing a nice and featherweight sneaker or shoe.

I use to do that when I use to work as a cleaner in a huge shopping center. It worked great for me. I never had tired feet even though I was running up and down the store floors as needed.

So if you’re wondering if you need or must wear boots in a warehouse the answer is it depends firstly on the warehouse’s rules about footwear and secondly if there are no rules, go for whatever feels more comfortable to you.

Wedged or heeled soles: what’s best for warehouse work?

what are the differences between wedge sole and heel sole work boots?

The majority of people I spoke with about boots for warehouse work said they prefer wedge soled boots.

Especially if you’re not on ladders or rough terrain a lot and from what I remember, the majority of warehouses have nicely polished or at least just flat concrete floors.

They’re more comfortable for standing and walking all day in a warehouse environment and also they provide much more cushioning than the heeled type boots.

Something helperjay22 pointed out in a post I made on Reddit is that by wearing wedge-soled work boots you’ll be able to feel better about what’s under your feet. You have more contact with the floor and that could be beneficial at times.

For example, he was helping someone to move a large item, and walking backward he was able to feel was about to step on a bolt and possibly cause an injury to his foot.

You can learn more about this over here: Wedge sole versus heel sole work boots.

Most important features of a work boot for warehouse pickers

Depending on what type of warehouse you’re working on you will need different types of features in your work boots. Based on my conversations with people working in different types of warehouses here are the top features you’d like to see in your work boots:

1. Cushioning

2. Waterproofing

3. Arch support

4. Ankle support

5. Slip-resistant soles

6. Breathability

Are hiking boots good for working in a warehouse?

Most hiking boots are built for rough terrain that you’ll encounter on your favorite hiking route.

If that’s the type of flooring you have in the warehouse you’re at, then hiking boots might be a good option for you.

If the floor you’re on working on is flat then hiking boots might not work very well for you.

There are a few hiking-style work boots out there that have some of the features of a hiking boot but also the features of a safety work boot.

KEEN and Merrell for example are two brands that are known for making good hiking boots. KEEN has a few boots including the Lansing model featured in this round-up and Merrell as well. This Moab Vertex it’s a good option.

I have varicose veins, can I wear these boots while working in a warehouse?

I have varicose veins as well and I’ve owned the majority of the boots mentioned in this article and they didn’t make any difference in terms of improving or worsening my varicose veins condition.

According to our expert, Dr. Bruce Springer, there is no connection between having or developing varicose veins and wearing work boots when we’ve talked about the best work boots for varicose veins.

Work boots can’t protect you against developing varicose veins and they can’t solve the problem either.

Of course, if you have varicose veins the best thing to do is to talk to an expert and see what they say but in my experience, it makes no difference what boots you wear.

Wearing compression socks DOES make a difference.

So if you like any of the boots mentioned above, get yourself a pair of good compressions socks and you’re going to be comfortable all day.

What work boots to avoid when working in a warehouse?

Please don’t make the mistake to buy low-quality work boots for your warehouse job. It could really make your life a misery.

If this is your first job or you’re coming out of a bad financial situation, I understand. You do whatever you need to do in order to get through the door and get the job. But once you’ve got your first payslip go for more quality work boots.

Reviews of the top 11 most popular boots for a warehouse job

a warehouse picker moving the new order with a pallet jack wearing a PPE such as high viz jacket, safety helmet and a pair of safety toe work boots.

Alright, let’s jump into some detailed reviews of each one of these boots that made it to the best boots for warehouse work.

They’re not listed in any particular order other than placing KEEN Lansing first as being the most popular choice when people are looking for warehouse work boots.

But the first boot in the list could be as great as the last one depending on what type of warehouse you’re working in and also depending on what kind of features you’re looking for. Let’s get into it…

1. KEEN Lansing

Best Steel Toe Work Boots
For Warehouse Work

Depending on what department of the warehouse you’re working you might come across different types of hazards.

But no matter which part of the warehouse you’re working on there’s always a risk of something falling or rolling over your feet.

Yes, you might say that there aren’t any accidents at your workplace (and that’s great) but if they do happen, you want to be ready. You want to be protected.

That’s exactly what these KEEN Lansing boots are here to do. The boots come with a steel toe cap that will make sure you won’t have to stay at home for days because of some silly accident caused by a box falling on your toes or someone running the pallet track over your toes.

The steel toe cap on these boots not only offers you toe protection but it’s also more comfortable than many other’s boots toe cap included this warehouse boots round-up.

And if you’re wondering why then let me tell you that these KEEN work boots are built with what’s known as asymmetrical left and right toe caps which simply means the caps are made to the shape or contour of the toes and not just a round or square piece of metal inside your boots as it’s the case with many other boots.

This adds to the level of comfort whilst on your feet all day because the toes won’t rub against the steel cap.

Talking about comfort I can personally tell you that these work boots are comfortable because I’ve had them for my construction work and I was walking on unpolished concrete floors all day.

wearing my KEEN Lansing work boots on hard cocnrete floors like the ones you'll find in many warehouse jobs.

They seem to absorb shocks from taking each step very well alleviating possible knee and back pain. I have a lot of good things to say about this boot and if you want to know more about it I invite you to check out my full review of the KEEN Lansing boot here.

PROS

Waterproof
Comfortable right out of the box
Shock absorption insole
Breathable panels
Slip-resistant soles

CONS

The eyelets are made of some kind of fabric material instead of iron so they can get ripped easier but since warehouse work is not construction work this might not be that big of a con.

2. Wolverine Overpass

Best Composite Toe Work Boots
For Warehouse Workers

Weighing in at just 1.75 pounds each, your feet will feel much lighter in these bad boys than in other brands, preventing you from exhausting yourself whilst on your feet all day moving up and down the warehouse isles.

But don’t think the lightweightness is a substitute for safety. The boots meet all the requisite safety standards that you would expect from other toe caps.

And the slip-resistant soles also mean you won’t have to worry too much about falling over whilst doing your job, even if you’re working in a warehouse with wet surfaces. These have great anti-slippery features.

The Overpass will keep you on your feet whilst moving pallets up and down the ramps or in and out of trucks. I recommend these Wolverine over KEEN’s especially if you work a lot in the outside part of the warehouse, mainly in the yard.

That’s because these have a better waterproofing system as I’ve seen in my test when I reviewed my Overpass 6″ work boots and they hold very well in water.

wearing my pair of waterproof Wolverine Overpass work boots in 3 inches deep water showing how good they perform in water which is helpful if you work in a wet warehouse.

They are not as breathable as the KEEN though so you might consider the KEENs if you’re looking for summer work boots.

Even though most of the time the floors are nice and leveled inside a warehouse that doesn’t mean you can’t (for whatever reasons) step badly and twist your ankle. When I had these boots I felt that my ankle will never roll over. Great ankle protection.

The boot also comes with an ortholite cushioned insole which delivers a combination of temperature regulation and comfort, perfect for those of you working in warm warehouses.

The insole is removable though, so if it isn’t working for you you aren’t stuck with it.

Overall, an amazing boot in my opinion and personal experience and I’m sure you’ll love it as well. If you’re looking for good lightweight safety work boots for your job at the warehouse then this should be in the top 3.

PROS

Comfortable right out of the box
Light safety toe cap
Ankle support
Anti slippery sole
Goodyear welt
Great looking boot

CONS

The boots are roomy which is great for people with wide feet but not everybody like extra room in the boot. Personally, I liked it but it’s something to consider.

3. Thorogood American Heritage

Comfortable Wedge Sole Work Boots For Warehouse Workers

One of the most stylish work boots you can find on the market. The boot I’m featuring here is the Thorogood 804 4200 moc toe work boot which comes with a safety steel toe cap.

But if you’re working in a warehouse maybe in a more managerial position and you’re staying more in the office where the risk of getting injured by a forklift or a pallet jack then you can go with the soft toe work boot version of this model and you can find it here.

These boots require no breaking in period. The boots are made with tumbled leather which is a very soft leather that avoids all that painful process of breaking in new work boots.

showing how soft the leather is on my Thorogood steel toe work boots and require no breaking in period which translates into a very comfortable work boot for UPS workers or any warehouse workers straight ot of the box.

You take them out of the box, put them on your feet and you’re ready to move orders in and out of the warehouse for hours and hours without feeling like the new boot is killing your feet.

To add to the comfort of these good wedge soled work boots, the sole itself it’s very comfortable and absorbs the shocks of walking on hard concrete and hard surfaces in general much better than rubber soles.

And this is what makes it one of the best work boots for the warehouse floor in this round-up.

By the way, if you’re working in a colder warehouse you might want to have a look at a pair of insulated work boots from Thorogood, the Crosstrex Series hiker style boot. They come with 400g of insulation which is more than enough to keep your feet warm in a cold warehouse environment.

So if you’re after a pair of comfortable work boots that also look good and provides you with toe protection … then these Throgoods boots are the perfect choice for working in a warehouse.

Also, if you’re curious here’s my experience wearing these Thorogood safety moc toe boots for my day job.

PROS

No breaking-in period
Safety toe cap
Comfy sole
Ankle support
Fiberglass shank

CONS

It’s not the most affordable pair of work boots in this round-up so it might seem a bit pricey but many swear by these boots saying they’re worth every single penny.

4. Blundstone BL990

Safety Slip-On Work Boots
For A Warehouse Job

If you like to have a boot with a more relaxed feel to it and less pressure on your feet then these Blundstone BL990 might be the perfect warehouse boot for you.

Also being on your feet all day receiving and processing orders and products it’s a tough job, I know very well. And what I liked about these boots when I was wearing them on my day job is that it comes with quite a high arch support built-in.

This helps avoid having aching feet after picking orders and processing incoming stock for 10-12 hours straight. Not only that but having good arch support will help improve your body posture overall and avoid other pains related to standing all day.

I don’t recommend them for you if you have flat feet since it will force your arches and make it uncomfortable and even painfull.

The leather on these boots is water repellent so if you work in the warehouse’s yard and get a bit wet you’ll be fine but it won’t hold too long so they’re not waterproof. I usually apply some products to make my work boots waterproof but you’re totally fine if you work indoors of course.

Being a slip-on work boot it will allow you to take your feet in and out of the boot easy and fast and give your feet a bit of a rest between tasks. Very convenient and comfortable. I’ve actually rated these boots as the best pair of slip-on work boots in another article.

The last thing I want to mention here is the steel toe cap that will keep your toes safe when for example you’re pulling or pushing the pallet jack up and down the ramps or in and out of the delivery trucks.

It’s so easy to hit your toes against a corner of a wooden pallet and injure yourself, in some cases pretty seriously. The steel toe cap in these boots is going to avoid those injuries almost 100% of the time.

I leave you a link to my review of these Blundstone BL990 steel toe work boots in case you want to learn more about them.

PROS

Arch support
Safety toe cap
Short breaking in period
Comfortable
Cushioned heels
Anti slippery sole

CONS

They’re not waterproof which is not necessarily a big con since many warehouse-related tasks are being performed indoors most of the time but it’s something to consider.

5. Irish Setter Ashby

Aluminum Safety Toe Cap
Work Boots For Warehouse Work

Working in a warehouse is not only a tiring job for your feet but it can also be dangerous.

If for example, you’re part of the warehouse maintenance team making sure everything is working perfectly within the warehouse installations there might be times when you’ll have to deal with some electrical problems.

Working with electricity we know it’s no joke so the more careful you are and the more extra protection gear you have on you, the more the chances of going home in one piece are.

If that sounds like you’re the type of work you’re doing in a warehouse then these boots might be for you since they are electrical hazard-rated boots so they can save your life if let’s say you accidentally come in contact with an exposed live cable.

the irish setter ashby work boots are a great option for those that work in a warehouse with concrete floors.

Just like the Thorogoods mentioned above, these Irish Setters Ashby boots come with a wedge sole. The soles on these though are made with a rubber outsole and an EVA midsole so they will be a tiny bit heavier but a bit more durable.

Another detail that will make these boots last longer working in a warehouse is the stitch at the front of the boot that goes all the way through the midsole and the outsole.

in this picture I show the difference between the Irish Setter and Thorogood work boots soles. The Irish Setter sole is stitched all the way through the outsole while Thorogod boot isn't. This makes the Irish Setter more durable in a warehouse environment.

Sometimes when you’re tired you tend to not lift your feet properly when walking and kinda just drag the front of the boots on through the floor or maybe you just use the boots to kick things around…

…eventually the sole will come off. Especially if it’s not properly glued, so this feature gains a point over the Thorogood work boots.

Another boot from Irish Setter that can be great for a wirehouse environment is the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST moc toe.

PROS

EH Rated
Heat resistant sole
Rubber + EVA sole
Alloy safety toe cap
Removable PU insole

CONS

It might be a bit slippery if you work in a warehouse where there’s water on the floor or simply the warehouse floor is constantly wet.

6. Timberland Moc Toe

Stylish Moc Toe Work Boots
For Warehouse Work

This is a beautifully designed work boot and I personally love everything about it. I’d like to see some speed hooks maybe on the last two rows at the top of the boot but hey this is just me being picky.

These Timberland boots are not safety boots so you won’t find many of the features we’ve seen in other warehouse boots in this round-up but they are very comfortable as per customer feedback.

On the other hand, they are one of the most comfortable work boots on this list.

Of course, not having a steel toe cap they’re lighter as well so your feet won’t feel so fatigued at the end of 10 or more hours of pulling the pallet jack and moving boxes and packages up and down in the warehouse.

What adds to the comfortability of this boot is the thin rubber outsole that reduces the weight of the boot and the EVA midsole which is a material that provides cushioning.

This helps absorb the shocks produced by walking a lot on those hard and cold concrete floors of a warehouse.

Even though these Timberland work boots are not safety boots they have a rugged build with triple stitches to make them more durable.

Also adding to the durability of the boot is the Goodyear welt. This feature should not only expand the life of the boot but also save you some money by replacing the sole rather than buying a new pair of Timberlands work boots when the soles wear out.

PROS

Comfortable
Lightweight
Ankle support
Cushiony midsole
Goodyear welted boots

CONS

They seem to be quite roomy just like the Wolverine I’ve mentioned above and some users didn’t like this.

7. Doc Martens Industrial

Fashionable Steel Toe Work Boots
For Working In A Warehouse

I’ve had a pair of Doc Martens steel toe work boots (Icon 7b10) for my construction day job and they were quite comfortable, especially on rough terrain but they were very slippery when it was a bit cold.

The flexible PVC lugs become as hard as stone when it’s cold outside and that’s the reason the boot is slippery. So if you work in a very cold warehouse or maybe you have to go in and out of industrial freezers, I don’t recommend you these boots.

When the weather is nice and warm the PVC soles on these boots are amazing on most floors I’ve walked on because the material is very soft and grips to the floor.

The model I’m featuring here (the 1460) has some additional rubber sections under the heel and the forefoot areas called Grip Trax Tread. I’m assuming they’ve done this so they can solve the problem I was mentioning above with the boot being too slippery on colder days.

Comparing my Dr Martens 7b10 work boot's sole to the 1460 mole to see which one is more slip resistant. The Dr. Martens 1460 work boots have much better grip and traction on a polished concrete floor that you find in most warehouses out there.

This is a great upgrade for anybody that works in a warehouse and loves Dr. Martens boots.

Now you’ll not only going to be protected by the steel toe cap and the anti-slippery soles but you’ll also look fashionable and attract eyeballs.

One of the things I liked most about my Doc Martens is the ankle support. If you work in a warehouse and you have to go up and down ramps a lot it’s really easy for your ankle to roll over and cause a serious injury.

Even though I’m not a big fan of 8inch tall work boots I have to say that I really liked wearing mine because of this specific feature (I have weak ankles as well).

PROS

Comfortable sole
Ankle support
Good traction
Water-resistant leather
Memory foam footbed

CONS

They will be a bit stiff at the beginning so you might want to keep your current boots close by so you can swap between them as you break in these Dr. Martens work boots.

8. Reebok Rapid Response

Breathable Military Style
Boots For Warehouse Work

Many electricians loved these work boots for a few reasons:

They look great
They’re comfortable
They’re electrical hazard rated (EH)

So if you work as an electrician in a warehouse or maybe part of the maintenance team then these will not only keep you comfortable for the duration of the shift but also give you extra protection if you work with electricity.

Even if you’re not an electrician, they’re great for warehouse work in general, especially for those of you working in warehouses that have nicely polished concrete floors.

That’s because the soles are very soft which provides great traction on those types of floors. Not very good for you if the concrete floors are a bit rough since the concrete will chew the soles very fast.

One thing I personally liked about these boots is that they come with a zip and an adjustable circumference. Why do I like these features?

Well, you know very well that walking or standing a lot on concrete floors will swell your feet and legs. Especially when it’s hot inside the warehouse or the weather is hot.

Having a zip and the adjustable circumference strap will allow you to loosen up the boots a little bit so your feet can feel comfortable for the last hours of your shift.

This is an airport-friendly work boot which simply means that it won’t set off metal detectors even though it’s a safety-rated boot.

That’s because there are no metal parts present in these boots so it’s a good boot if you work in a warehouse where you have to go through security points and metal detectors.

PROS

Fiberglass shank
Composite toe cap
Cushioned heel
EH rated
Airport friendly
Affordable

CONS

Don’t buy them if you work in a freezer warehouse or if you work in cold areas where ice might be present as they’re very slippery in that type of environment.

9. Carhartt Ground Force

Insulated Work Boots For
Working In Freezer Warehouses

Working in a freezer warehouse is almost like working outdoors in the wintertime, isn’t it?

Because of that, you’ll need a work boot that not only can protect you from accidentally hitting your toes against a wooden pallet or something like that but also protect you from the very low temperatures inside a freezer warehouse.

That’s when these Carhartt safety work boots come into play. The boots come with a composite toe safety cap which is much better than steel toe safety work boots when working in a cold warehouse.

Why? Well, it’s because when the steel toe cap gets cold and it will transfer that cold to your toes leaving you with cold feet for the whole duration of the shift.

I’m sure you don’t want to spend 10 hours working in a warehouse with your feet cold. It’s uncomfortable and not healthy.

These Carhartt boots come with a Storm Defender waterproof membrane and also 400grams of Thinsulate insulation to make sure you don’t have to work in the conditions described above.

Adding to the comfortability of these boots is the EVA midsole that’s very soft offering a lot of cushioning.

This is really helpful, especially for warehouse workers like yourself walking for miles on hard concrete floors inside the warehouse. It will absorb the shocks created by walking and will put less pressure on your knees and back and help avoid long-term issues related to the knees and back.

PROS

Composite toe cap
Cushioned midsole
EH rated
Metal detector friendly
Puncture resistant

CONS

There will be a breaking-in period so be ready to have some uncomfortable few days until they break in (they’re comfy after that).

10. KEEN Vistas

Lightweight Work Boots For Warehouse Forklift Drivers

Usually, I don’t feature two boots from the same brand in one round-up but today I kinda had to.

I’ve discovered these KEEN Vistas work boots thanks to ngc604 on Reddit that replied to my thread about what are some of the best work boots for working in a warehouse.

ngc604 said the boots are very comfortable, especially if you drive a forklift because of the dip on the back of the boot.

This will allow you to drive for hours loading and offloading trucks or moving orders up and down inside the warehouse with no discomfort on the back of your leg.

I personally know how uncomfortable it is to have a boot that pushes against your leg when driving a forklift since I drive a telescopic forklift as well. Not in warehouses but in construction but that doesn’t really matter.

Some boots make so much pressure against the back of the leg that it cuts the blood circulation and that alone can cause lots of issues for your health. I have some varicose veins on my left leg and the last thing I need is a boot that makes blood circulation difficult.

So I really liked these boots for that particular reason, not to mention that they’re super lightweight and much more breathable than leather boots mentioned in this round-up.

It’s a work boot that looks like an athletic shoe but with all the safety features of a safety boot. Composite toe, waterproof, ESD (electrostatic dissipative feature) shank, and more.

You definitely have to consider these boots if you work in a warehouse, not only as a forklift operator but as a warehouse operative in general.

PROS

Nylon shank
Composite toe cap
EH rated
Metal detector friendly

CONS

Not good if you work in a dirty workhouse for example in a plant

11. Redback Easy Escape

Breathable Military Style Work
Boots For Warehouse Work

If you want a pair of good slip-on work boots but for less money than the Blunnies featured above, you must have a look at these Redback Easy Escape.

These boots were very comfortable for someone I talked to on Reddit about warehouse boots models and brands (thanks Dick7Powell for your input).

They were the most comfortable pair of work boots right out of the box for our friend while he was working in a brewing/fermentation warehouse. The boots are comfy for the whole duration of the shift and his feet were not aching when the 10 hours shift was over.

There are mainly two reasons why these boots are so comfy:

The ASS (anatomic support system) refers to the soles of the boots. The sole cradles the foot to reducer arch sagging and prevents foot fatigue and also related leg or back pain.
The Air Cushioned mid-sole contains millions of tiny air bubbles that help absorb the shocks created by walking so at the end of the day you won’t have pain in your heels, arches, knees, or back.

I’ve asked about the transparent soles (kinda like the ones that come on the Dr. Martens work boots) and he says the soles are comfortable and also they’re not slippery. Anti slippery was a must in his line of work.

The environment in these types of warehouses is wet and cold so these boots might be a good choice for you as well even if you’re not working in a fermentation warehouse.

I like that these Redback work boots come with a plain toe can but also you have the option to buy them with a safety toe cap in case it’s required by your warehouse management.

PROS

Slip-resistant soles
Safety cap available
Air bubbles mid-sole
Acid & oil resistant
Lightweight

CONS

Even though our friend said these boots were comfy for him right out of the box, others have said that the boots needed breaking in so keep that in mind when buying.
