Justin Pull On Work Boots

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a pull-on work boot?

Two reasons, and the second matters more. They come on and off in seconds when you are in and out of a truck all day. And there are no laces to catch on a chain, a rung, or rotating equipment, which on farm and oilfield work is a genuine entanglement hazard rather than a convenience issue.

How should a pull-on fit?

Snug at the heel, because there is no lacing to take up slack. Some heel movement when new is normal and settles as the footbed compresses. What is not normal is the heel lifting clear or your toes reaching the end, both of which mean the boot is too long. Size down for length rather than up.

How do you get a tight pull-on on?

Use the pull straps with both hands, keep your foot pointed, and drive the heel straight down rather than wiggling side to side, which binds the shaft against your instep. New boots are hardest before the shaft softens. If a boot needs a fight every morning, the shaft is too narrow and a wider width usually solves it.

Can you ride in these?

With caution. Many carry a work outsole built for traction on the ground, which is exactly what you do not want in a stirrup, since a smooth sole is what lets your foot slide free if you come off. If you ride regularly, check the outsole rather than assuming a western-shaped boot is a riding boot.

Do pull-ons have safety toes?

Many do, in steel, alloy and Nano composite, meeting ASTM F2413 for impact and compression, alongside soft toe versions. The tall plain silhouette gives no clue whether a cap is inside, so toe type is stated in every product title. See our Justin safety toe range.

Are these waterproof?

Many are, and the height is a real advantage since a waterproof boot only protects to its collar. An 11-inch shaft keeps you dry through considerably more standing water than a 6-inch boot would. Waterproof status is stated in every product title. See our Justin waterproof range.

Are pull-ons good for oilfield work?

They are the standard choice. No laces to catch on tongs, chains or rungs, a shaft tall enough to keep drilling mud out, and quick on and off. Confirm the electrical rating on the specific model against your site's requirement. See our oil and gas work boots range.

Should I get a pull-on or a lace-up?

Decide on snag risk and terrain. Pull-ons win where laces could catch and where you are in and out of boots all day. Lace-ups let you adjust tension across the instep, which holds the foot more precisely on genuinely uneven ground. See our Justin lace-up work boots range.
