I bought myself a pair of workmen’s rigger boots which look great paired with an above the knee A lined skirt and also an asymmetric long skirt. Also look good with black tights especially fishnets.

Nice boots and clean and shiny. Will look good under your skirts.

These are mine, I used them on building sites for many years, but now we have to wear proper PPE boots, since I believe they are not thought safe on site any more.

I now use them for garden work, but the toe caps are good for heavy garden work!!!

Very nice Mouse. The rigger boots go well with the skirt.

I was wanting the Dr Martens rigger boots but they ran out of my size and I was told the stock in my size have ran out and it isn’t listed on the store site any longer.

Anyway, the Dunlop rigger boots I bought are very comfortable but they feel a bit loose.

Just to be technical. Rigger boots are no longer allowed on uk sites (that's not all sites, only sites which fall under HSE CDM regulations). Safety boots need to be laceup with ankle protection, steel toe caps and a steel midsole.
I remember there were lots of long faces when they could not used anymore.

Hence why I now have these which I use on site when required...

The rigger boots are great to have at the home back door, since you can put them on without hands, which is good if you are carrying things outside. However as you have found, the reverse is true that they are looser on your feet, meaning you can easily kick them off, which as BM points out is why they were banned from sites officially. Places like Screwfix still sell them https://www.screwfix.com/search?search= ... e_size=100 and you still see them on some sites that are less well managed than BM's sites.

I once bought a pair of rigger boots online. They were so heavy that I really couldn't walk in them. I hope the charity shop made something from them!

Door stops perhaps? (if they were that heavy!)
