What can I say about the Baffin Maximum Industrial rubber boot? Well, a lot really.
I still can’t get over how lightweight these boots are. When I first tried these boots on a job site, I was working in some very muddy wet conditions. And if you have ever worked in these conditions before you know that any extra weight from mud acts like adding weights to your ankles. And you’d also know the aftereffect is being a lot more tired at the end of the day from the added weight.
These boots don’t do that to you. One of the best features of the Baffin Maximum Industrial rubber boot is that they are self-cleaning. Now what does that mean. It means yes are they still going to get dirty, however you’ll soon find out that the sticky mud that would have stayed on to weigh you down all day quickly falls off easily as soon as its dried – at least it has in my experience with them. If you’re using them for concrete then you still need to wash them off after the pour. But that goes for any boot used for concrete work.
And I would like to add that the Baffin Maximum Industrial rubber boot are perfect choice for pouring concrete. I honestly can’t recommend this boot enough to other workers in the construction industry. It actually doesn’t matter what trade you’re in, these boots will make your day a lot more enjoyable. Especially in not-so-nice weather conditions.
These boots are not like other safety rubber boots, because they feel like you’re wearing shoes. I know that sounds weird, however it’s what comes to mind when I describe how they fit and feel on my foot.
The fit is a little narrow, so if you have a wider foot, make sure you try them on so you get the proper fit. I wear these boots with an orthotic and they’re perfect. Absolutely no problems all day. They’re also self-standing and have a heel nub which makes it easier for taking them off.
All and all they are a really great boot for the job site and also any other outdoor activities you might be doing. Don’t think because they are safety rated that they would be extra heavy like other brands with heavy steel shanks and toes. The Baffin Maximum Industrial rubber boot blows the competition away in this department all day long.
As I said before I highly recommend the Baffin Maximum Industrial rubber boot.
Please leave a comment below if you have tried these boots. It would be great to hear other opinions on them as well.
CONCLUSION
I personally highly recommend these boots. Hands down this is my personal go-to boot for spring, summer, and fall on any job site.
Keep in mind these boots are not designed for winter-wear. But if you’re going to be working in wet, muddy conditions, you are going to want to consider these boots.
