Work Boots vs Hiking Boots

What's the difference between a work boot and a hiking boot? This video goes over some of the differences between them, such as differences in materials, features, and ratings. Sometimes the differences are clear as day, but other times the lines between a work boot and a hiking boot can be blurred. We'll explain why two similar looking boots can be classified differently.

At the end of the day, deciding which to wear boils down to your personal preferences, or in some cases, job requirements.

We deliberately didn't talk about steel toe or other safety toes in differentiating between work boots and hiking boots because most people will easily be able to identify anything with an ASTM rated safety toe as being a work boot. Just felt it wasn't relevant in this case since the difference there is so clear. However, you absolutely could still hike in a pair of steel toe boots too, it just wouldn't be our first choice for most hiking settings.

Hope you enjoy!
