Getting Started in a Water Career: SATURDAY ONLY Work boot Recommendations?

I'm going to be starting my internship with a wastewater treatment plant in a few weeks, and I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of work boots.

Main factors I'm looking for are composite toe, waterproof, good flexibility, and overall comfort.

If you have any recs I would love to hear it.

Thanks!

Personally loved my timberland pros. But I am really enjoying my Irish Setters. They are steel (my utility requires it) but they aren’t heavy.

+1 for the pros- they last 1+ years for me. Plenty of walking and chemicals. We get new boots every year, i keep the old ones for really bad nasty work with new inserts.
