Question:
I am looking for steel toe work shoes that are waterproof and warm. (25
degrees weather) The steel toe shoes I have found don't seem to be lined
and don't say anything about being waterproof. I found some great looking
hunting shoes which are waterproof and warm, but they are not steel toed.
Answer:
I tried ordering work shoes and boots last year from Gemplers in
Belleville Wisconsin and had pretty good luck.
