Work boots need to do two jobs. They need to offer uncompromising protection, so that you can safely wear them to a jobsite or in rough terrain while keeping your feet safe. However, you’ll be wearing them all day, so they also need to be comfortable, and maybe even stylish.
For good looks, better feel, and the best safety, Kodiak’s McKinney work boots are a phenomenal pick.
When I got the chance to stomp around in a pair of these boots, they had their work cut out for them. My previous experiences with work boots have always left my feet sore and stiff.
It is my pleasure to say that the McKinneys blew my expectations out of the water.
First Impressions
Just lifting the boots out the box, you can tell they’re well-made. They have a solid weight, the leather is thick but pliable under your fingers, and knocking on the toe has a nice reassuring echo from the composite toe.
