    In the dead of winter, a nice pair of boots can mean the difference between healthy feet and a bad case of frostbite. They also help with maintaining balance and traction on icy surfaces like trailer floors and forklift ramps.

    Drivers should keep a dry pair of water resistant/proof boots with them wherever they go. Here are a few of our picks to help keep yourself safe from slip, falls, and the “black rot.”

    Carhartt Men’s 11-Inch Waterproof Safety Toe Wellington

    Carhartt makes great clothing for all work professions. It’s durable, stylish, and will last a lifetime if taken proper care of. 

    These pull-on Wellington boots have a dual-density PU outsole that is slip, oil, and chemical resistant. That’s great for those carriers that make you take your boots off to check for that due to “accidents in the past.”

    Another bonus is that they are resistant to electric currents up to 18,000 volts. Why is that important to truckers? It might keep you alive if you accidentally touch a powered dock plate or a metal rack that a forklift charger has shorted out on. Use this link and shop for a pair today!

    Thorogood V-Series 11” Waterproof Pull On Wellington Boots

    These Thorogood Wellington boots are designed for comfort and safety in mind. Having a robust safety toe, Goodyear Storm welt construction, and being waterproof are positives drivers look for in a good work boot.

    For those drivers hauling general and refrigerated freight, these boots would be a great pick. Use this link to have a look at them and see if they will be the best choice for your work environment. 

    Muck Boots Chore Classic Tall Steel Toe Rubber Work Boot

    Muck Boots, named for the environment they handle best, are a definite must have for your favorite trucker. These are handy for when you have to get deep in the slop at a work site or drop lot. 

    100% rubber and a quadruple layered heel ensures your feet are well protected from liquids and sharp objects. They wipe and wash off easily and are backed by an excellent warranty by Muck. Use this link to see if they are right for you.

    Timberland PRO 6IN Direct Attach Men’s, Steel Toe, EH, MaxTrax Slip Resistant, Waterproof Boot

    Timberland PRO is a well known name for work boots, being the professional side of the more stylish Timberland Premium. Being waterproof up to the upper and being oil and slip resistant are big positives for those looking for a classic pair of work boots.

    You can use this link to buy a pair of great boots that have been going strong since 1973.
