Anyway will keep searching Global House & the likes sell work boots. Might be cr@p, never examined them closely. Tend to be black, not buff as in your picture. Leather or plastic, don't know. Worth a look? Don't shoot the messenger if they're no good Edited January 19, 2013 by MESmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm that is odd. Was it at the Airport Plaza branch? That is where I went to look. Also I am not wanting steel toe. Hope I can find something close to the pic I posted. I am use to those & if I knew they were hard to find I would have brought a pair with me back when i moved. Thanks will check the other branch at Kad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anselpixel Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just ordered a pair of boots from the guy in Chang Phuack. 2500 baht. I won't have them in hand until the end of the month, so I can't comment on the quality. I've heard good things. Where is this store on the Mae Rim Highway? I don't know of a Macro out that way, if you're talking about Chotana. The picture looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 4^ 'Edit, could nt attach picture, maybe the link will work?' You need a minimum number of posts to post an image, I believe. The more expensive work and military boots have steel toe caps and often steel sole shanks to counter nails and the like. Lots of desert sand-colored US Army boots around these days. The normal US black leather army boot are few. The Thai army equivalent has a greyish sole with a blackened surround that has to be reapplied. Ooh-rah! Service the target array...

KRS1 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 How about Hiking boots, theyre pretty much the same thing and are inside the departments stores in the men's shoe section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 How about Hiking boots, theyre pretty much the same thing and are inside the departments stores in the men's shoe section.

MESmith Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I'm surprised no one has brought this up, but, you do have a work permit for said " work boots" If not & you get stopped by anyone in uniform, be sure to let them know that they're "recreational boots" Edited January 21, 2013 by MESmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If you have pixie feet (I mean less than size 9/10) then why not try the numerous secondhand boot/shoe outlets on the road from the BBQ N.E corner of moat leading to JJ market area. dozens of ex army style, d.m's and not expensive...small sizes becasues previously owned by Thais. If nothing there, on same road you will get to Tesco, Kam Tiang. inside underneath the escalator the tiny army/navy surplus store has some great looking hiking boots and again reasonable prices... ...but for real work and paddling in concrete you need to go to global, thats where i would go, in the first instance.
