If you operate or work for a lawn care company (or if you are just a casual gardener) you owe it to yourself to purchase a professional pair of lawn care work boots or work shoes. I wish people wouldn’t wear old ratty tennis shoes during their lawn care work. Your feet are important and commercial quality footware is worth the added cost to protect your feet.
This is a “first impression” video on the Lawn Grips 6″ Steel-Toe Work shoe. You may have already seen my review on the Lawn Grips Brutus Work Boot. I have been impressed with those boots and I want to give their work shoes a test. The shoes are significantly lighter than the work boot. If your work does not require the added protection of an over-the-ankle work boot, you may like the relative light weight of the work shoe.
I will give these shoes a rigorous field test the next several weeks. After I break them in and give them a workout, I will let you know how I like them as an everyday work shoe for the lawn care industry.
If you’ve ever wanted to start your own lawn care business or if you’re not making enough money with your current lawn care business, take a look at our website. We offer a business package that will help you become more efficient and successful with your own lawn care business. (StartALawnCareBusiness.com)

What country are these boots made?
For mowing sometimes boots are just too heavy. They can add as much as 25% to the time on the lawn by slowing down the walking pace. I like to use sneakers with a Tingley rubber over them. I would like more protection though. How heavy are the Lawn Grips?

Thanks for the question about the weight of the LawnGrips steel-toe shoe. I dropped by my local post office today to weight the shoes.
Each shoe weighs 1lb 10.3 oz. That’s definately heavier than a sneaker but I feel the protection is well worth the added weight. How fast can you mow after a blade hacks your foot in two? 😉
I’ve worn these all week for full days and I don’t feel any more fatigued than with any other shoes I would wear. Also, I did some shovel work today and the soles definately add an enormous increase of protection than any other standard shoe.
