I think I'll try the Taclite Waterproof version and if it doesn't work, Amazon's return service is good. I did try the shoes at a police/fire/emt shop where I picked up uniforms. They also sold Rocky.
Needs to be polishable and do get snow and rain.
Chose these two since they are within budget. I expect them to last 1 to 1.5 years, and am OK with that. These are also two of the most reviewed with 4.5 star rating. Was hoping those with experience with these two boots could provide some input.
I realize there are plenty of threads on boots and I have read them.
I'm just trying to decide between 5.11 Taclite WP SZ or Bates GX-8 Ultra-lite SZ. Will be working full time with two doubles a week.
Thanks
