+1 to good boots and a change of clothes, all the way down to underwear. Worse burn I ever got at brewery was on my foot, stupidly wearing tennis shoes. Make sure the boots you buy have excellent support. I used to run 30 miles a week but my feet never hurt the way they did standing on concrete for a year in piss poor shoes. You might want to look into some inserts, too.

What boots do you recommend?  I haven't found any that I love.

Definitely a change of clothes and eye protection.

I love the pair I have now. I'll send you the name tomorrow (I think they are called "Rocky" or something, I'm off today). Totally water proof and I can stand in them all day.

I had a pair of Red Wings and they were comfy as hell on concrete but they fell aprt under a year.

I wear pretty basic calf-height work boots. The key (for me at least) was to get some with decent support. The disposable insoles really help me too. http://www.shoesforcrews.com/sfc3/index.cfm?changeWebsite=US_en&route=c_store.viewDetailsOfProduct&partnumber=2060

I like the price   I also like that they are slip-on, I don't want to have to lace up boots.

My pair are slip ons, too. They were about $100, but well worth it.

I don't mind the money if they are good and will last.

Once again, thanks to all of you. I am embarking on a new stage in my life, and a big part of it is the advice and help I have gotten from this forum throughout the years. You are all a part of this, and I will not forget my roots in home brewing. So, good boots, and pester the head brewer with my own recipes.... got it!

[majorvices]

Also, everytime a head brewer puts a tri-clamp down or a screwdriver or wrench ask him .... "is that where that goes?" He'll love that.

These are the boots I like:

Easy on, and just high enough that my pant leg reaches over the top of them.

Those look good, although I prefer ones I can just step in to.

I might pick a pair of those up. Thanks.

Make sure to constantly remind him you are a homebrewer.

AND, you can use those for cool weather rafting/kayaking too! Great river shoes.

On the topic of boots:

Dr Martens are very comfortable and get great reviews.

...and good luck jamminbrew. Sounds like you're off to a good start by getting some hands on training.

Step out OF, I think is the important part.

The one's I have are Rocky "Long Range". They are slip on, calf height. They also have an impressive western flourish.
