Steel Sharp Edge
Steel Sharp Edge
Month-old steel-toe work boots have several “cuts/nicks” especially around toe and heel of boot. Typical?
These are my first pair of work boots EVER and so I have no idea what to expect as far as wear and tear goes. I work in a steel fabrication shop and I handle everything from metal to wood (especially sharp-edged laser-cut metal to nail-studded pallets. How can I prevent further nicking, cutting, and abrasion, or is this just the way it is?
You are in a rough work environment so cuts and nicks are unavoidable. I would use saddle soap on the boots occasionally to keep the leather pliable and resilient, though. If it gets really dried out, it is more susceptible to nicks, etc.

New – Cold Steel Warrior’s Edge DVD Set – VDWEP $72.70 As many of you know, I am not enamored with the oft repeated saying: “If you get in a knife fight, expect to be cut.” The reason is that this saying condemns even the highly skilled knife fighter to be wounded, disfigured, disabled or even killed if ever forced to put his training with a blade to the test. This is why for the past ten years, I have spent an enormous amount of time in full contact … |
