Features of the Best HVAC Boots

HVAC workers are exposed to all kinds of different environments. It’s important to have a pair of boots that are made to withstand all of them!

We show you what you should look for when finding a new pair of boots for HVAC work and show you our best picks for the job!

Flexible

Whether you’re crouching, kneeling, or walking, your boots are flexing. You need a pair of boots that allow you to move freely and not hold you back. A pair of high quality flexible boots will do just that. A boot that is constructed using a cement attachment or direct attachment will naturally flex easier, meaning there isn’t much of a break in period. See All Flexible Boots Here →

Waterproof

Being exposed to different environments means you need to be prepared for anything. Waterproof boots will make sure that you’re prepared. Most leather boots are naturally water resistant, however to get the best coverage, look for a boot that is waterproof. Waterproof boots will have a liner inside (which makes them waterproof) and will also still allow your feet to breathe. See All Waterproof Boots Here →

Safety Toe

Safety is key while working in any job. Although you may not always be working around heavy objects, it’s important to still have something to protect yourself from an unexpected dropped object. Whether you go with steel toe, aluminum toe, or composite toe, they will all keep your little piggies around. See All Safety Toe Boots Here →

Defined Heel

This feature is an optional one. The defined heel is the most important if you are climbing ladders. If you aren’t typically climbing ladders, then you don’t necessarily need this feature and could look at boots that have the wedge sole.
