These are our choices for the best pull on logger boots:

Slip on logger boots can make things much more convenient both before and after work when you don’t have to sit down and mess with laces. They also, for some people, might add a bit of comfort.

The downside is laces do add control and stability, so a pull on logger might not be the best boot for all situations. Nobody knows your job requirements better than you, so you will have to determine whether or not a pull on boot makes sense for you.

The list above contains 4 composite toe boots, and one plain toe boot. In my experience, it is difficult to find pull on steel toe logger boots. If you need a steel toe for your job, you may have to stick with a lace-up logger.

If you need a winter boot, both Carolina and Ariat offer an insulated logger boot in a pull on version. These boots both have 400 grams of 3M Thinsulate to help keep your feet warm.

Let’s take a closer look at these slip on logger boots so that you can decide which one makes the most sense for your job.

Pros & Cons of Pull On Logger Boots

Pros

• Convenience – This one is a bit obvious, and the main reason many people prefer pull on work boots. No messing with laces. Quickly slip these boots on and off.

• Protection – Pull on logger are going to fit higher up your leg than most lace-up logger boots. This can help add some protection to the area above your ankle and help deter annoying brush and debris while working.

• Comfort – The comfort of a boot can vary dramatically brand to brand, but many people like pull on boots because they feel like they are a bit roomier, and don’t always hug as tight against the foot, especially the ankle. If you’re looking for extra comfort around the toes, a square toe logger may be best.

• Debris – One drawback to laces is debris can become wedged between the tongue, and slip down into your boot. This can be annoying, and is one reason why you see so many logger boots with a kiltie to help deter debris from entering the laces. Pull on boot don’t have this issue.

Cons

• Control – Losing the laces might be convenient, but it is important to consider the loss of control. Laces help keep a boot snug against your foot, and help ensure that the boot gives you the support you need. A pull on logger boot obviously won’t have laces, and at times, this can lead to a looser, less-secure fit.

• Imported – None of the boots on this list are made in the USA. If you prefer to wear American-made logger boots, visit our article about the best logger boots made in the USA.

• Open Top – Pull on boots may fit higher up the leg, and provide extra protection, but they have that open top that does allow for brush and debris to fall down into your boot while working. Lace-up boot generally have a much more snug fit around the ankle, and can deter debris from entering the boot at the top.

• Options – Unfortunately, you have less options if you prefer pull on logger boots. Going with lace boots allows you to choose from a wide range of brands, and a wide range of price points. It may be tougher to find a pull on logger that fits both your style and budget. You may consider a steel toe cowboy boot if you want extra options.
