I wear a pair of Globe Magnums, I was wearing Warrington Pro's before that. The Globe 14" Bott is the most amazing thing I have ever worn, Its like wearing sneakers. I very often forget I'm wearing them. Hands down the best thing out there !!

We were wearing the Pro warrington boots, but last year we tested all the boots out there (globe, pro's, thorogood, lacrosse, airboss, etc.) and the overwhelming choice by all of our group was the airboss cbrn boot. Its as comfortable as the pro or globe, but protected better (hazmat, cold, heat, ankles, "slipperiness", you name it). May not be your run of the mill brand out there yet, but i can guarantee that if you try it, you'll adopt it.

I have always heard leather boots are the way to go. But as of yet have not purchased a pair. What would you all recommend. And where is a good place to get them.

Leather is the way to go. I have had leather for a couple years & they're the best.

Like the other departments in our area, once you try the airboss cbrn boot, you'll never want any other boot. We switched to the airboss (I think they call it the boss) and have never looked back. The only people that we know of that haven't bought them in our neck of the woods are the ones that haven't tried them. We had the lacrosse leather before, but the airboss was the choice of more than 90% of our guys when we tested them.

Wes,

I can tell you that the airboss boot is about the same fit we were getting out of our lacrosse (and some pro warringtons). But we had less ankle injuries and other boot issues since going with the airboss boot. They are as light and a scomfortable, but gives us better protection in all situations... and the brass likes them cuz they cost less.

the new globe magnum leather fire boots are the most comfortable boots on the market right now with plenty of protection....i had a pair of good ole rubbers for 2 years then a pair of black diamonds i thought were great until my company got everyone new gear and boots in a grant and we got these boots....with or without the inserts that globe gives you with every pair they feel like sneakers....the only downside is this big yellow and silver reflector on both sides....but you can hide it with your turnout pants
