Stepping Up To The Plate
Hi, I’m Eric W. with wehearthandmadeboots.com and there is a new movement going on here in the Americas, the rise of women in the blue collar workforce. The day has come and gone where women were expected to stay home and take care of the kids or to work in a high rise being someone’s secretary. There really wan’t a need for a quality pair of womens leather work boots!
Women are now in the work force at the top levels in both the white collar and blue collar industries. At both of these levels, there are different aspects of the job that you have to take into consideration. When it comes to the modern day blue collar woman, the skills needed for this degree of labor require a greater use of the hands and require you to be on your feet a greater portion of the day. There is a need for a boot that can not only protect the feet but also to provide comfort. Whether you have entered the work force as an electrician, plumber, carpenter, or whatever, you need a pair of work boots that you can count on.
Since a women’s needs match those of their male counterparts, they need a work boot that can last and is just as durable. High-rise apartments, factories, plumbing, automobiles, etc… all of these things have one thing in common. They require the skilled hands and feet of a person that can construct and maintain these things. With the advent of women entering these fields of skilled trades, it would make sense to have an excellently crafted women’s boot to go with them. Women have definitely stepped up to the plate and answered the call to the blue collar workforce.
Just as there is a work boot for men, there are also great work boots’ for women we have put together some great brands and styles for you as well. Just as injuries or hazards don’t discriminate, neither should a good work boot. John Deere work boots’, for example, have made themselves well-known and will allow the working woman to protect her feet and endure the workload of a long day’s work. Each of them are built with genuine leather to keep the boots’ lasting longer, tempered steel shanks for comfort and arch support, Goodyear construction, and steel toes for foot protection. These boots’ are made with the polyurethane high-abrasion out sole, fancy talk for heavy protection and support, but a lighter wearing boot.
Lots Of Styles To Choose From
There are, as you would expect, an abundance of various styles from various brands of boots and I found a few that stood out among the crowd. In this post, I’m going to share a few and give my take on them to give you a better idea on what to expect from these boots’. In my opinion, there are three things you want in a work boot (in no certain order). Comfort, protection, and style. Below I have put together a list of women’s work boots’ that I feel meet these criteria.
