How Do Waterproof Safety Boots Work? (Explained For People New To Work Boots)

If you’re anything like most people on the planet, for that matter, or me, then soggy work boots can ruin your entire day, especially if you don’t have a second pair of work boots laying around.

That’s where waterproof work boots come in, aka the lifesavers of workers around the world.

a person going through a deep puddle of water wearing a pair of waterproof work boots.

Waterproof work boots work by making sure the boot itself is sealed without any holes where water can come through and then sprayed with a waterproof coating. 

But what exactly makes them waterproof? And can any regular work boot become waterproof?

That’s what I went on a mission to discover, and in this article, we’ll be diving into the answers you’re looking for.

What makes a waterproof work boot waterproof?

The term waterproof is used on many types of work boots, and by that, I mean you’ll find it on everything from rubber work boots to firefighter work boots to more conventional work boots.

This isn’t a marketing gimmick; it’s because manufacturers use varying degrees of waterproofing and different methods that don’t necessarily protect the entire boot.

A rubber or firefighter work boot, for example, is waterproof by design since it’s made out of a material that is impenetrable by water. Same with the boots that you’ll use if you pour concrete.

These types of boots are made to protect you not only from water but also from dangerous chemicals that can get into the boots and cause some serious injuries.

On the other hand, things are a bit different with leather work boots since manufacturers employ a variety of ways to waterproof boots.

Here’s what I found out in my quest to figure what manufacturers do to make their work boots waterproof:  

1. Gusseted tongues

The tongue is generally the first place where water will pour through in a work boot since it is separated from the rest of the opening.

On the other hand, a work boot with a gusseted tongue is attached to the rest of the boot at the sides and base to prevent water from leaking through any spaces.

2. Raised eyelets

Most work boots have holes for the shoelaces, which can let water pour in. On the other hand, raised eyelets are attached to the top of the work boots, removing the need for a punch hole that could let water pour in.

3. Water-resistant coating

The material used in constructing a waterproof work boot is pretty much the same as any other type of work boot…

…the difference is the finish.

Manufacturers use industrial-grade water-resistant sprays to coat the exterior entirely in waterproof work boots, including the soles.

4. Waterproof soles 

The water-resistant coating isn’t enough to prevent water from getting in through the sole since the sole takes on the brunt of a day’s work.

That’s why waterproof glue or stitching is used to make seam-sealed soles that prevent water from slipping in through any cracks.

Are leather work boots waterproof?

I’ve learned this the hard way when I was younger from mixing up my regular leather work boots with my waterproof ones, and sadly, the answer is no.

Why?

Leather is a porous material by design, meaning that water can soak through it just like any other fabric.

However, most work boots have some form of coating to prevent a few splashes of water from getting in, but that doesn’t mean a leather work boot is fully waterproof.

To give you a bit more context behind the science of it all, in hydrostatic head tests [1], aka the industry-specific test used to measure the degree of water resistance in footwear, waterproof boots tolerate at least 1,000mm of water pressure before leaking.

In water-resistant work boots, that figure goes down to 200mm.

As I’ve covered in the previous section, only a work boot that’s been coated with water-resistant material and is labeled as being fully waterproof can prevent your feet from getting soaked after stepping into a puddle or the like.

Are waterproof work boots breathable?

You might be thinking that since water can’t come into your work boots, then it can’t come out.

Rest assured, manufacturers have that covered.

Most work boots include breathable lining on the interior of work boots such as GoreTex that provides ventilation and lets out built-up humidity.

That means that you won’t have to worry about sweat building up throughout your shift. Here’s an example of good breathable work boots.

Can you make waterproof work boots that are not waterproof?

Yes, you definitely can waterproof non-waterproof work boots! (to an extent)

Whether your work boot was waterproof and no longer seems to protect your feet from water, or even if your work boot wasn’t waterproof in the first place, it’s pretty simple to get them ready for any puddle ahead.

Here are a few ways you can waterproof your work boots DIY style:

Editor Note

Make sure your work boots are clean first. Dirt and grime can prevent the waterproofing process from thoroughly coating your work boot.

Option 1: Use a waterproofing spray

Hold the spray can about six inches away from the boot and apply a thin coat. Some types of sprays require a second coating, so make sure to read the instructions first.

Fun fact: you can use good ol’ WD40 to waterproof your work boots, but only use it for dark-colored leather since it will leave dark stains on light-colored leather. It’s not ideal but many of us in construction do it.

Option 2: Use wax (for leather and suede)

Warm-up wax with a hairdryer and apply it to your work boots with a clean cloth. Remove excess wax and buff your boot to shine.

Option 3: Use mink oil

I’ve used mink oil for most of my work boots, especially leather ones.

Mink oil (liquid, paste, or spray) is not good only for protecting the leather and extending the life of your boot but it can do a good job when it comes to repelling the water from your boot.

The most effective product was the mink paste. I guess is because it’s thicker and not only penetrates the leather very deep but also creates a good barrier on the top of the leather.

Option 4: Use cream (for leather)

Use the applicator that comes with the cream or a clean cloth, rub the cream on the entire boot to get absorbed by the leather’s fibers.

With all these options, you might notice that your work boots will become slightly darker, so it’s always best to read the instructions of each product thoroughly to know what to expect and prevent any damage or discoloration to your footwear.

Once you’re done waterproofing your work boot, you’ll want to let your work boot dry completely.

Under no circumstances should you use artificial heat; leave them to dry at room temperature. Otherwise, you might cause the glue of your work boots to melt or loosen up, or worse yet, make the leather dry and crack.

What work boots are 100% waterproof?

This is where you need to be extra careful since many work boots claim to be 100% waterproof, but in fact, they’re only waterproof in a specific area such as the upper or outsole. Or in most cases, just water-resistant or water repellent.

The trick to finding fully waterproof work boots is to go through the description of each model to see if it specifies if it’s fully waterproof.

I’ve found this to be the only way to make sure that I get exactly what I want to avoid having to return a work boot.

Which by the way, is nearly impossible since it’s hard as is to replace a worn work boot, let alone a soggy one after finding out you got the wrong product.

If you’re into specific models, I’ve covered various top work boot brands and included waterproofing information to save you the trouble of sorting through categories on manufacturers’ websites.

Who makes good waterproof work boots?

There’s no shortage of work boots with full waterproofing or even partial waterproofing.

The list of models would be endless if I listed every waterproof model out there, or even simply my collection of waterproof work boots, so instead, I’ve gathered some of the best brands that make reliable waterproof boots for you to dive into.

Here are some great brands you should check out if you want quality water-free work boots:

The bottom line

If you get a chance to get a waterproof version of a work boot, you should go for it.

You can never tell when you’ll be stepping in something wet or even hazardous, so it’s always best to stay on the safe side and never risk exposing yourself.

Waterproofing isn’t just limited to specific styles of work boots, so you’ll never run out of models to choose from or additional safety options; plus, you get to have dry feet during a storm.

What more could a worker ask for from their foot’s first line of defense?

That’s it from me. See you in the next deep dive into a work boot feature!

Keen Work Boots vs Red Wing Work Boots (Learn The Differences)

On the hunt for a pair of quality comfortable work boots that you can count on? If you’ve gotten here from an endless search to decide whether Red Wing or Keen work boots are for you, then look no further.

You’re in the right place to get all you need to know about two of the most recognizable work boot brands out there.

two pairs of work boots. one boot from the brand called Red Wing and another boot from another footwear brand called KEEN. They are being compared in this article.

If you are looking for safety and affordability then the Keen work boots would be the better option.

With that being said there are a lot of factors that go into deciding on the best boot for your feet. I’ve taken the liberty of diving into the details, reviews, and endless personal tests to get the definitive answer and find out what’s the actual difference between the two.

18 hours, 279 browser tabs, 1,382 customer reviews, and 4 aspirins later, I present to you: the ultimate Keen vs. Red Wing work boot breakdown.

Now, let’s get into the results!

Main differences between Keen and Red Wing work boots

Keen and Red Wing are well known for their work boots and share a lot in common, especially when it comes to the quality of their construction.

On one hand, Keen work boots adapt to modern styles while incorporating more safety features to withstand extreme environments.

On the other hand, Red Wing work boots have an iconic look to them that’s impossible not to recognize while generally having a higher price tag.

What type of boots do they produce?

As far as styles go, there’s pretty much no shortage of choices when it comes to which brand to go for between the two manufacturers.

Red Wing, in general, is notable for its old-school style that it’s maintained throughout the decades, while Keen goes for more modern styles, along with mixing in some traditional elements.

There’s a style for everyone between both brands, and as the saying goes, different strokes for different folks.

Here’s a breakdown of what type of work boots Keen and Red Wing offer:

Type of Boot Keen Boots Red Wing Boots
6” Lace-up work boot Utility Philadelphia Heritage Roughneck
6″ Steel Toe Waterproof Utility Pittsburgh Dynaforce
Steel toe work boot Utility Milwaukee Red Wing 2233 
6” wedge sole work boots Utility San Jose Heritage Classic
Pull-on work boot Utility Philadelphia Supersole Style 3505
Slip-on work boots Anchorage
Insulated work boots Utility Davenport Style 1412
Metatarsal work boots Utility Vernon Style 4456

Keen vs. Red Wing: How do they fit?

I’ve personally tried and worn a lot of work boots throughout the years from Red Wing and Keen, and based on my experience and the reviews left by customers, both brands make pretty roomy work boots.

This isn’t a bad thing. In fact, Keen’s sizing is generally true to size and they intentionally design their work boots to be a bit wider around the toe box to fit more comfortably and securely.

Red Wing also designs their work boots to have roomier toe boxes, but the difference is that they tend to be half a size to a full size bigger than standard boots, so it’s best to go half a size or a full size down to be on the safe side.

The good news is that if you’re shopping online and aren’t sure which size you should order, you can use Amazon Prime Wardrobe to try out work boots without having to pay for them until you’re happy with the size.

Red Wing versus KEEN: Where are they made?

A lot of manufacturers don’t specify where their work boots are precisely made.

Fortunately, Keen and Red Wing aren’t all that mysterious about where they assemble their boots.

Keen’s Utility lineup, according to their own website, is assembled and built in Portland, Oregon, using materials sourced from across the globe.

Red Wing’s Heritage lineup is also built in the USA in their factory in Minnesota, which is also where they source all the leather used in their work boots.

Going through the reviews, I noticed that many readers suspected that some work boots from both brands were made in other countries, which would make sense since the place where a boot is assembled and made isn’t always the same.

We have an article related to where work boots are made here if you want to check where 30 plus brands make their boots.

Durability: How long do they last?

The durability and lifespan of a work boot are two of the most important things I look for in a pair of work boots. Unfortunately, many people consider durability and work boot lifespan the same thing, but they’re not.

Here’s why:

Keen’s Utility work boots go above and beyond for different types of jobs. If you work in construction as I do, then a pair of Keens won’t let you down, but looking at the bigger picture, you’ll get around 1 year out of them.

Of course, this depends on your field of work, so if you don’t deal with a chaotic and rugged work environment, the lifespan of a pair of Keen work boots can stretch up to 2 or more years, depending on how well you take care of your boots.

Red Wing work boots are a completely different category.

They’re great for all kinds of jobs, just like a pair of Keen work boots, but the real icing on the cake is their ability to be repaired and resoled by Red Wing itself or by professional cobblers. So technically, if your work boots’ sole breaks off and the leather is still intact, you could get them fixed and make them last a lifetime. 

Comfort

In my opinion, no work boot is ever worth wearing if it hurts your feet and makes your life harder. Sure, we deal with unbearable conditions at work, but that doesn’t mean we should subject our feet to that.

So while going through my pairs of Red Wing and Keen work boots to make this comparison between the two, I took a moment to focus on the comfort that I’ve taken for granted with these two brands, which made me realize just how much detail goes into them.

First, let’s focus on Red Wing

When you get a pair of Red Wings, they look pretty old-school and might be too stiff to deal with at first, but once you break into them, they’re practically designed to adapt to the shape of your feet.

Then you have the toe box, which, compared to many other types of work boots, is relatively roomy and gives your toes lots of wiggle space. For me, that’s important since I wear my boots for hours on end, so the extra space does wonders to cut back on the built-up moisture.

Now let’s look at Keen

Keen as a brand is a lot more recent than Red Wing. There’s almost a century between the two, so think of Keen as the new kid on the block, and I mean that in a good way.

Keen designs their work boots to meet the needs of workers while blending in elements from sneakers and hiking boots, so you get a lot of flexibility and padding to take the brunt of every step.

Overall, both work boots get a high score when it comes to comfort. They feature roomier toe boxes, which is undeniably a relief when you need to be on your feet all day. 

Add in the specially designed insoles, materials, and supportive components found in a lot of their boots, and you’ve got yourself all you need to ensure that you can get through the day without coming home to face a case of sore feet.

Keen vs. Red Wing: Differences in price

I have to admit, it’s been a while since I’ve had to buy a new pair of Red Wing or Keen work boots, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I began my research on their prices.

To my surprise, Keen’s Utility work boots made in the US aren’t that expensive. The most expensive model at the time of writing this article is the Utility Philadelphia+ that goes for $245.

Other work boots by Keen, like the Utility San Jose, can go for as little as $115 putting them on the more affordable work boots side of the scale.

On the other hand, Red Wing is a lot more expensive.

For example, the Heritage Iron Ranger at the time of writing goes for anywhere between $350 to $500.

I couldn’t find anything below the $200 price range on Red Wing’s website, whereas on Keen’s website, I found work boots for as low as $125 

Scroll down to the bottom of this page where you can see a table with the most popular work boots from each brand. There you can find prices for different models from both brands.

What industries are they good for?

Features are great, but if a work boot isn’t designed to beat back the hazards of a job site, then those features aren’t of much use.

To that end, both Keen and Red Wing ace it when it comes to their features that protect hard-working men and women from the endless hazards in different fields and industries.

Without going into detail, the boots by these two heavyweight brands are suitable for everything from

  • masonry
  • landscaping
  • maintenance
  • transportation
  • the oil and gas industry
  • railroads
  • construction related and many, many more.

Red Wing is notable for designing its boots to meet the needs of workers that work in demanding conditions.

Which makes sense since Red Wing was once the supplier of boots for the US Army in WWI. At the same time, Keen offers a broader range of work boots with more safety features in more modern styles.

What do the reviews say about them?

Descriptions from manufacturers are great and all that, but I like to take a personal approach and go through reviews by actual people to see the real-world experiences people have with their purchases and see if they match up with my journey with each product.

What people had to say about Red Wing?

Customer opinions seem pretty consistent when it comes to their satisfaction with Red Wing work boots. But, many users pointed out that they preferred going to a brick-and-mortar store to try them since some had trouble finding the right foot size online.

Some users pointed out that even though their price is a lot higher than most brands, they were worth the money and lasted with them for a long time.

I should point out that a lot of users complained about having wet feet when working in wet job sites, which mostly came down to the confusion between water resistance and waterproofing. (These work boots are waterproof if that’s what you’re after.)

Another area many users mentioned was the long break-in time Red Wing boots require, which is something I can confirm. However, I found many follow-up reviews that pointed out that the work boots felt like the Red Wing boots were designed for their feet after the break-in period and extended wear.

What people had to say about Keen?

A lot of feedback by users pointed out how Keen’s work boots handle a lot of abuse and get through the day without hurting their feet.

One user, in particular, got multiple pairs for her husband to alternate between each pair to maximize the lifespan of each since Keen work boots were the only brand that could keep up with the pace of his job.

Much like the Red Wing customer reviews, many users commented negatively on some models due to water leakages they encountered, many of which had to do with the confusion on the difference between waterproof and water resistance.

Breaking in times seemed to vary from user to user. For example, some users pointed out the difficulties they faced after getting a smaller size, making breaking in a lot more uncomfortable.

In contrast, others highlighted that Keen’s customer support was prompt and more than glad to help them replace their work boots when a defect prevented them from breaking in. 

The most popular Keen & Red Wing work boots models

Since I’ve already dug up a lot of information to bring you this article, I’ve rounded up the top 5 most popular models of each brand that I think are the best of the bunch to make your life easier and save you the hassle (and confusion from comparing equally worthy models).

Of course, you might find yourself liking a different model or already have your eyes set on a specific pair, so by all means, feel free to keep on exploring while taking this list as a reference.

Without further ado, here are what I would say are the top models, in no particular order.

Alternatives: boot brands in the same ballpark

If you don’t feel like either Keen or Red Wing work boots are meant for you, I get you; after all, it’s not as easy as it seems to choose what’ll eventually become your daily work companion.

Not to worry, there’s plenty of other reliable and durable work boots to choose from.

Here are some brands that I’d also recommend, which I’ve also reviewed extensively over here on Best For My Feet.

Keen work boots or Red Wing: Which one is best for you?

When it comes to quality, reliability, and features, both brands have a lot to offer that makes them very similar yet unique in their own ways.

The fact, however, remains that if you require a pair of work boots for demanding jobs, Keen has more overall safety features within an affordable price range.

That’s not to say I’m crossing off Red Wing, far from it.

If a pair of Red Wing boots meet the needs of your work environment, I would say that they are a sturdy option to go for, and with proper care, you could be looking at keeping them for years on end.

The bottom line is that it all comes down to your taste in style, budget, and job requirements, because no matter which brand you go for, in terms of comfort, durability, and reliable construction, you can’t go wrong with either brand.

Before I go, I want to let you know about another interesting comparison. The one comparing Red Wings And Wolverine work boots. Wolverine is also a great brand that you should consider.

Can You Wash Suede Work Boots In The Washing Machine? (My Experience)

Have you ever wondered what can happen to your suede/nubuck leather work boots if you wash them in the washing machine?

Could this ruin your suede work boots?

in this image the autor of this article, Adrian is holding his suede leather work boots in front of his washing machine showing that he's about to wash these suede work boots in the washer.

Well, let’s find out. I had a pair of Caterpillar Outline work boots that got a bit stinky and I’ve decided to wash them in the washing machine.

If you’re here for a quick answer let me tell you that nothing happened to my suede work boots after washing them in the washer.

Actually, there was something. After the boots got dry it seems like the “suede” effect, the smoothness of the leather was gone.

When I was passing my fingers over the leather I could not see the patterns anymore. The leather became stiff. But I fixed that and I’ll show how.

So let’s get into it and tell how I washed my suede leather work boots in the washing machine, step by step!

Step 1 – Prep the boots for the washing machine

You’ll want to do this (especially if you work in construction-related jobs) because you don’t want the dirt to get off the boots into the washing machine’s system. Stone, sand, mud, concrete, etc … CAN damage your washer if you don’t take this step.

I use two types of brushes for this. One brush with a hard bristle for the outsole and another one with a soft bristle for the leather.

Brush off as much dirt as you possibly can. Remember to remove the laces as well so you can clean the boot tongue area as well.

Also, remove the insoles. You can clean them separately if you want but it’s a bad idea to soak them in water. I rarely wash my insoles but when I do, I either clean the insoles with alcohol or with soap. But I do it manually and I don’t soak them in water.

Now let’s go to step two.

Step 2 – Prep the washing machine

Do you need to prep the washing machine??? For what?

I know. It sounds silly but I learn from my mistakes. And last time when I washed my Timberlands steel toe boots in the washer, the machine got a dent in the drum (my wife wasn’t happy about that).

So in order to avoid this happening again, or at least to reduce the risk of happening, I’ve added a couple of towels inside the washing machine together with the suede boots.

You can 3-4 as many as you want. I’ve added only 2 this time.

Step 3 – choose the right program

I’m not a pro at washing but one thing that I’ve learned after washing my work boots a few times over the years is that:

  1. The hot water could potentially damage the suede
  2. If the water is too hot, it can deactivate the adhesives that hold parts of the boot together

So make sure you wash your work boots with cold water to avoid any of the above. I’ve used the short program in my machine (15minutes) with cold water.

Step 4 – add detergent

Should you put detergent when washing the suede work boots? It depends who you’re asking, you’ll get a different answer.

If you ask me, I’ll tell you that suede leather and detergents are not the best friends. Personally, I’ve added a little bit of detergent in there and the boots look good.

If you’re worried about this, then just wash by hand the inside of your boot with some soap and a brush…and then throw them in the washing machine without any detergent!

But how the boot is going to be disinfected if I don’t use detergent? (You might ask)

Basically, I use alcohol isopropyl to make a solution and spray it inside the boot. Read more about it here: How to disinfect stinky work boots.

Step 5 – restore the patterns of the suede

This is what I was mentioning at the beginning of this article.

After I’ve washed my suede work boots, I left them to dry naturally but then when I check them if they were completely dry I realized the leather had become stiff.

Did I just ruin my suede boots by putting them in the washer?

No, it’s all under control. Don’t panic if this happens to you as well. All we have to do is to restore the suede “effect”.

For this, we need the hard bristle boot brush we used in the first step.

And all you do is:

  • Brush the leather in one direction only (from the heel towards the toe). Don’t press too hard though as this brush is hard already. So just brush for a minute or two each of the work boots.
  • Then apply mink oil (spray is best for this). Don’t be shy! Apply with abundance covering all the leather of the upper, tongue, everything!
  • Now repeat the same process you did before by brushing in one direction only for a couple of minutes for each, You will start to see the pattern reapearing as you pass your fingers over the leather.

Editor’s Note

One very important thing to keep in mind is that if you use mink oil on yellow work boots or any leather that’s light color, the mink oil might darken the leather. So if you’re not happy with that, then don’t do it!

Can you wash suede work boots in the washer? The takeaway

That’s all there is to it. It’s quite a simple process. Should YOU wash your suede work boots in the washing machine?

It’s up to you!

I can talk from my own experience that putting my suede boots in the washer wasn’t a bad experience. Even though I got scared when the boots got dried and the leather was hard and stiff. Nothing I couldn’t fix though!
