I'm looking for a supplier of lace up safety boots which are waterproof and lightweight (i.e. composite toe protection rather than steel).

Wellingtons aren't suitable.
Anyone know any manufacturers?

I've a pair of RockFall but they are steel toe capped with footplate and clumping around in them all day is fatiguing.

Try looking for Magnum boots - they do w/p leather and breathable leather with a composite cap in 'army boot' style.

Can heartily recommend the Magnums, very comfy, last quiet a long time and were far better than the boots we were issued with on squadron.

Only thing I would add is the Patrol are much more comfy if you do a lot of driving than the 'high leg' ones.

DeWalt sell exactly what you are after, you can stand hours in water with them (they are ten times better than Magnums).
