Summer is not exactly the time of year that most people think about buying boots. But if you work construction, you have got to wear boots for safety. On some job sites, steel toed boots are required. On other job sites when you have to walk on pavement or concrete all day, a different kind of sole makes a huge difference in comfort. People not used to walking or standing on concrete end up with not only sore feet, but often have trouble with their lower back and their neck or shoulders.
