Very few situations beat the misery and frustration of working in a soggy or damp boot. Your boot is dripping water, your feet are wet and mushy, and your socks are completely soaked. To cap it off, it's winter, and you are getting cold. With every passing moment, your boots get heavier, and with each step you take, that sloshing sound makes it extra annoying, like a reminder that your feet are drenched and there’s no way to escape this discomfort until you get out of those boots and dry your feet.

Waterproof boots can prevent these situations. When working in environments that deal with liquids like oil and water or damp and muddy conditions, the waterproofness of a workboot should be a crucial factor when buying it. They are also a fantastic option if you work outside during rainy or snowy seasons. 

When we launched our first Duradero boots, the question we got most was, “When are you coming out with waterproof boots?” 

I am happy to say we’ve introduced two new waterproof boots, which are available in 6” and 8” shaft height and have soft-toe, steel-toe, and composite-toe options. 

Why you should Wear Waterproof Boots?      

If you frequently encounter the situation I described above or work in environments that may put you in that situation, waterproof boots are your best bet to avoid soggy socks and wet feet. Waterproof boots keep your feet dry and comfortable when you work in a wet or damp environment because they are designed to keep water out of the boots. 

Many work boot buyers tend to confuse water-resistant boots with waterproof boots. However, they are two different terms. A water-resistant boot differs from a waterproof boot in that a water-resistant boot is made with an outer leather or material designed to repel water, while every part of a waterproof boot is 100% made to keep water out of your boots. This means a waterproof boot can be submerged in water, and water won’t still get into the boot, unlike a water-resistant boot.  

If you are likely to be submerged in water, mud, or other liquids, then a waterproof boot is a must. Working with boots that keep your feet dry and comfortable is ideal for your health and your productivity at work. 

Features of Duradero Waterproof Boots

Duradero waterproof boots are 100% waterproof. They don’t just repel water, but they prevent water from entering into your boots. Some of the features that make our waterproof boots impeccable are:

• Duradero-tex Membrane: The Duradero-tex membrane is a strong 100% waterproofing material that is used to make the membrane placed inside our waterproof boots. 
• Waffled Sateen Lining: This lightweight fabric together with the Duradero-tex membrane makes an incredible combination of waterproofing in our boots. Together, they form the bootie that gives you complete waterproofness. 
• Heavy-duty boot for maximum Protection:  To protect your foot while you work, our waterproof boots are heavy-duty to give you maximum protection. They are built to protect your feet from  the worst of accidents, injuries or any workplace hazard. We make sure our boots are not only waterproof but also meet all the safety requirements of a work boot. 
• Full-grain Oiled Leather: Our full-grain leather is uniquely made because we blend oil into the tanning process. This makes the boot break-in time shorter and also makes the leather water and damage resistant. 
• Stitching: Our waterproof boots are well stitched to prevent water from entering from any corner. The top of the boots have double stitching for extra protection. 
• Anti Slip: Working in damp conditions means you are more prone to slipping. That's why our boots' sole has been built to be anti-slip to give you extra protection. Our waterproof boot protects your feet from getting wet and also protect you from slipping. 

The combination of these features makes Duradero Waterproof boots the best work boots you can find for your feet. The Logan and the Fargo are our two new waterproof boots. To shop for Duradero waterproof boots, click here.
