So I'm pretty tired from buying workwear for my job. Every pare of trousers live no longer than couple of weeks, after that they r completely destroyed. Same story with boots, for example 2day heel's gone. Dear collegues, who may help to decide wich trousers and boots r the best and never get broken. Thanks for you time.

  1. You must work in some rough conditions to go through trousers so quickly!

    I normally don't recommend specific brands- but Dickies has a good reputation for tough work pants. I can't offer any suggestions for shoes, though.

    Good luck!


  2. I have been wearing Carhartts for years.  they wear like steel.

  3. What part of your pants is getting destroyed?

    If its the knees,get some knee pads,will prolong your pants and knees. Also try a thicker material, some work jeans have 2 layers, rip the first one got aother. Ofcourse their hotter in the summer.  Far as boots my last couple of pairs have been timberlands.  Heels never gone out. the toe will if there steel toed, but that happes to all boots.  They last 2-3 years.  Might try mechanics pants instead of jeans.  The link will show you the boots i wear, on my second pair, last atleast 2 years.  They lace farther down then regular boots. Scratch that! Those have a glued on sole, didnt used too.  Get the Timberland Pro "Pit Boss"

  4. Work jeans should last a few months, boots about 6 months your either buying cheap c**p from lidls or abusing the h**l out of them.  Chapps make good boots very light and sturdy

  5. Snickers, DeWalt, CAT, BlÃ¥klæder, Fristads and others all make working clothes in various styles and fabrics to suit all trades, I personally like Snickers, my last trousers lasted over 5 years, ( 3 pairs in shifts!!)  CAT, DW and Timberland all make good boots. You usually get what you pay for!!

  6. not to sure about trousers but i used to use wrangler jeans, as far as boots go a good pair of rigger boots are the way forward they are usually oil proof heat proof etc.

  7. The longest lasting trousers I ever tried were 'Blaklader'.

    Pricey, but worth it.

  8. Buy jeans, t-shirts, boots at a second-hand store.   They may not last longer, but you will save money.

  9. What do you do?An incredible hulk impersonator?
