The Secret Behind the Most Comfortable Work Boots on the Market

When it comes to work boots, comfort is crucial. But as most trades guys know, breaking in a new pair of work boots straight up sucks. Most brands have a long, painful break-in period that makes working unbearable for weeks. It seems like nobody has been able to make work boots that are comfortable right out of the box. But one brand seems to have cracked the code.

Comfort Out of the Box

BRUNT Workwear claims their boots are comfortable right out of the box, and we definitely agree with them. We’ve tried several different styles of their work boots, and every one has been surprisingly comfortable right away, with little to no break-in period. But we wanted to know more about how exactly they cracked the code on comfort, and learned it all starts with their custom Cush’N® Insoles.

These were developed by boot industry wiz Bruce Todtfeld. He’s spent over 30 years in the work boot industry at several household names, but BRUNT finally allowed him to go crazy on his passion project of making the most comfortable work boot on the market. He went all out, and developed technologies that allowed BRUNT to make comfort the center of everything they do. 

What Sets BRUNT Apart

What sets BRUNT boots apart in terms of comfort is their carefully engineered Cush’N® insoles. These insoles are engineered to provide unbeatable comfort and support, using premium polyurethane for durability and long-lasting cushioning. The contoured heel bed anchors your foot, while a grippy top layer keeps it in place, preventing blisters and irritation. Add in a bonus memory foam layer that relieves pressure, and you’ve got insoles that truly make long workdays easier.

But BRUNT doesn’t stop at the insole. Their boots are built from the ground up with comfort in mind. A nylon shank provides midfoot support, and the PU midsole offers better cushioning than the standard EVA midsoles most brands use. The leather they source is soft and durable, making break-ins a breeze. On top of that, the boots have adjustable width, giving you a customized fit, and their lightweight design ensures flexibility and comfort right out of the box. No more “heavy-as-a-brick” work boots.

Listening to What Customers Want

The work boot industry is traditionally old and slow to innovate. There are a lot of great work boots on the market when it comes to durability, but most brands haven’t listened to the customer to understand that they truly want sneaker-like comfort paired with durability. BRUNT listened to this, and decided to make their boots loads more comfortable than the competition, and just as (if not more) durable. From our perspective, they’ve developed super comfortable boots, and as a newcomer to the scene, this is really just the start for them.
