Bramble Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hello Everyone! Does anyone know of an actual shop (i.e. where you can try things on, rather than online, where you can't!)that sells steel toe cap boots for women? In the midlands ideally, but we could travel. I've seen some incredibly funky ones on Ebay, but it's awkward to buy stuff like that on line as sizes seem to vary so much? Thanks everyone!

patsylabrador Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Dickies have a good variety and sell in some hardware stores like Wickes. OH and MS get theirs from Street in Somerset. Because it's an outlet shop they don't have the full range. Also Screwfix sell good quality, cheap steel capped boots. I think Altburgs have some too and I think you can visit but they're in Yorkshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I was going to suggest Screwfix as well. Do you have a Scatts countryside store near you? They tend to have a great range of all sorts of boots, including steel toe caps ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Another one for Dickies - all the guys at work on the ground staff have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I forgot to add that the big shoe warehouse type shops like ShoeCity also sell steel toe cap boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I use ARCO as they tend to have a bigger range of shoe sizes the down side is that not all sizes and styles are kept in branch but they tend to be next day delivery. I now they have a branch in West Bromwich and Coventry not far from M6 Jnc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone! Quite by chance I was in Sports Direct yesterday and was amazed to see they sell steel toe cap shoes and boots - I was equally amazed at how cheap they were (even allowing for the fact that they're zero rated for VAT) - I tried on a size 5, I'm usually a 5 or a 6 but I was still swamped!!!! I've got a Countrywide nearby - I know they sell Dickies brand stuff so will see if they do steel toes there. Thanks again everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Do you have a Doc Martins shop locally ? They do some really comfy steel toe capped boots for women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
