"Brad, who now runs his own construction company, has relied on Steel Blue boots since his apprentice days. “They were super comfy, and I’ve been wearing them ever since,” he says.

Brad’s go-to work boots are the Argyle® Zip Scuff in Wheat, which feature a built-in scuff cap for extra durability, an industrial grade side zip for easy on-and-off wear, and a 150mm height for greater ankle support.

Working in construction Brad is constantly on the move mentioning, “You don’t want to be tearing around in something that’s loose-fitting or uncomfortable. I’ve seen so many people roll ankles on a job site and I just think, it’s not worth it. I’m all for comfort and support.”
