Questions crews ask
Is Tiger King footwear wide-fit?
Yes. Every Tiger King boot and shoe is built wide and roomy, with extra space through the toe and room for thicker work socks. Use the size chart on this page to pick your size. Some pairs come with a removable spacer insert to fine-tune the fit, but not all do.
Is Tiger King footwear heavy?
No. Every style uses lightweight composite materials instead of steel, which cuts down fatigue over long shifts while still meeting CSA protection standards.
What jobs is Tiger King footwear best for?
Demanding work environments: construction, warehouses, skilled trades, logistics, and general industrial settings. CSA Grade 1 protection, a composite toe, a puncture plate and slip resistance are standard across the range. Check each product page for the specific build: the low-cut shoes (Michigan, Tofino) suit lighter indoor work, the 6-inch and 8-inch boots add ankle support, and Niagara and Superior add waterproofing for outdoor sites.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. Cushioned insoles and built-in shock absorption support long hours on your feet, so you stay comfortable through the shift without pressure points building up.
Is Tiger King safety footwear CSA approved?
Yes. All Tiger King safety boots and shoes are CSA Z195 Grade 1 certified (green triangle) for impact, compression, and puncture resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of work environments in Canada.
Do you offer waterproof options?
Yes. Select styles, including the Niagara and Superior, are built with waterproof protection to keep you dry in wet or outdoor conditions. Look for the waterproof label on the product page to confirm.
Can I wear Tiger King footwear indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Our footwear is built to handle both. The shoes and boots are at home indoors in warehouses, stockrooms, and skilled-trades shops, and just as capable outdoors on job sites. The right pick depends on the style, so check the product page for the conditions each one is made for.
Are Tiger King boots and shoes slip-resistant?
Yes. The outsoles are designed to provide reliable traction on common work surfaces such as concrete, tile, and industrial flooring.
Is Tiger King the same as Tiger Safety?
Tiger King is the direct-to-you B2C brand from the same second-generation Canadian family company that has made Tiger Safety work footwear since 2007. Same CSA Grade 1 standards; tigerkingshoes.ca is where you buy direct.
What crews say
4.6/5 from 52 reviews of Niagara Men's

Important Review Information You Need to Consider
Two days ago I received the Tiger King Waterproof Niagara Men’s 6” Premium work boots.

I appreciated [...] Two days ago I received the Tiger King Waterproof Niagara Men’s 6” Premium work boots. Here’s what you absolutely MUST know: The first day I wore them around the yard and in the cattle corral, they were fine. I appreciated the wide design, they were comfortable. Yesterday evening I wore them in a mild hour-long drizzle while working around the yard. I took them off at midnight after my work was done. I wear 96% Merino Wool socks so I did not know my boots were soaked inside, as the wool wicks moisture from my skin. As I wear my pant legs over my boots, down to the ankle, and my pants got damp but not soaked, it’s impossible the moisture leaked in through my pants. It came from the light intermittent drizzle and walking in the damp grass during the drizzle. I was very disappointed as I had applied Red Wing’s Leather Creme (Neatsfoot oil blend) and their Leather Protector before the first time wearing these boots, two days ago. Those treatments are to keep the leather and stitches strong and protected against rot from getting wet, but they are not waterproofers. So these boots are definitely not waterproof. Moisture inside boots rots them from the inside.Waterproof is most of the criteria for selecting these boots. The full grain leather seems durable. It should last in standard real world work environments. Abrasion resistance should be good. Safety features should be good. They are well cushioned and practical down to what I expect is around -5 degrees Celsius. Proper lacing technique helps on and off quickly, while the lace material snd eyelet design and placement holds the laces in place securely all day. You won’t need to tighten them up every few hours. The stitchings and thread are good quality, tight, and strong. The molded toe protectors and sole glued to the boot leather are applied properly. The design is robust.However, here is the second and only other drawback: the sole! The sole is one piece and not replaceable. The sole and toe are likely one piece. The sole is likely hollow to reduce weight. Hollow soles destruct rapidly once they wear through to near a hollow. Sewn-on soles are replaceable, sew a new sole on. Glued one-piece soles: the boots are garbage as soon as the sole is compromised. Also glued-on soles tend to unglue at the ball of the foot if you squat down to work, even a few times in the boot’s lifetime. I have dozens of pairs of glue-on sole boots piling up outside, the Chipmunks like to build their nests or store food or just sleep or hide in them.I am uncertain whether I will keep these boots or send them back on the single basis they are not waterproof. Whether water gets in between stitchings or directly through the leather, it’s getting in. And not just a tiny amount. My boots are actually wet inside. Wet! They will need about 4 hours with the heated boot driers inserted into each boot. I don’t want to do this daily with my real work boots.I will update once I make a decision whether to keep or return.Update: the failure to be waterproof is a misrepresented deal-breaker for me. When I walk in the early morning grass still wet from overnight dew, my feet are wet right away. Yes, wool socks wick the moisture away. But, inside my wet boots, my feet are inside the equivalent of a slow cooker. Wet and hot. Humid and hot. I can handle it. But study an illness nicknamed Trench Rot from World War 1. Same thing exactly. Same conditions, same outcome. If not treated and mitigated promptly, toes, feet, and even lower legs were often amputated. I am a Health Coach. I give advice to cure people of various things. And I have had the redness between my toes, the rotting off skin between my toes, and more. Possibly some is due to new materials gassing off inside the boot and being absorbed through the skin. But the gassing off is still toxic. I need to follow the path to optimum health. My health is worth more. But these boots will meet many people’s needs.

What I love most is how lightweight they are, and the wide fit lets me move around freely so my feet don't feel destroyed after a long shift. They’re super easy to wear and give me the confidence of staying protected against water and heat without sacrificing comfort.

He was skeptical when I told him the price, but once they arrived he changed his tune. He says they are surprisingly premium and high quality, and he’s telling his friends about them.He did say they fit a bit big, so I’d say consider sizing down a half size if you’re between sizes.

Canadian Designed Safety Boot With Quality Construction

Everything about these boots is solid. The leather is thick and sturdy, all the seams are tightly sealed, and the lining is sleek and smooth.The fabric on each side of the boot's tongue to make the boot waterproof seems to tuck easily out of the way without creating a bunching effect. Yet, for such a solid construction, the boots are remarkably light. And, I like that although the boots are designed for safety, they are also very functional and can also act as a hiking boot with an anti-slip outer sole.The boots fit quite generously, so there is room for an extra layer of socks. It might be a good idea to wear wool socks, not only for their warmth in cold weather, but also because wool can absorb any moisture accumulation and regulate body heat in all temperatures. It also acts as a natural anti-odor protector, which makes sense when wearing a waterproof boot that doesn't allow for breathing.Overall I'm impressed with these boots. They are well made and are built to last. The boots are designed in Canada and manufactured in China, but if there are any issues, it is comforting to know that I'm dealing with a Canadian company.

They felt great right out of the box with no break-in period, and I can wear them all day without foot fatigue. The cushioning and support are excellent, and they don’t feel heavy or clunky like a lot of steel toe boots do.They’re well-built, feel very durable, and still manage to stay comfortable while I’m on feet for a long time. If you need steel toe boots that don’t sacrifice comfort, these are a great choice.

I wear steel toes for ten hour shifts, and have done for years. These strike me as pretty good boots, well made and CSA approved, but potentially let down be the sole material. This isn't a grippy rubber like my other Vibram soled boots, but something more similar to a rubberized plastic? While it is grippy on concrete, wood, metal grating etc. right now, I am concerned that it will be stiff and slippery at -30. I will update my review if and when that comes up. I would call these a 4.5 star boot if they had a rubber sole, right now they are a 4 until the cold weather.

They regularly get covered in concrete at my job, and get sprayed off with a hose multiple times during a workday. They've never once left me with wet feet and have held up quite well.After a full summer using these at work I feel confident I can get at least another summer out of them, which is as good or better than previous boots I've bought at nearly double the price.I plan on buying these again when they wear out.
