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
4.7/5 from 25 reviews of Tofino Men's
Often, "steel toe" is used for any safety toe. Every current Tiger King style is composite and metal-free.

Walmart work shoes are a wider fit than these. The composite cap rubs on my bigger toe and it hurts really bad. Going to be returning them sadly. Would ve avoided me a lot of trouble if the seller wrote the width measurements. For reference, I usually wear size 11 and around 5 inch from big toe to outside of my feet. Those were not wide enough.

I absolutely love Tiger shoes
Many years ago I discovered some tiger shoes from a shoe store that was part of a flea market.

I found a pair of walking shoes that were also safety shoes but looked quite comfortable and decided to give it a try. Those shoes were so amazing that for almost 10 years I kept going back and bought a replacements every three to four years simply because that's how long they lasted even if I use them on a daily basis. Sadly about 5 years ago this store closed due to retirement but I had tried to obtain at least a few more pairs but the seller was not able to find or locate any others of this particular model so I survived with the last pair and the spare that I had purchased years earlier. I was very happy to see that tiger was still available out there but unbelievably saddened by the fact that they no longer make this particular model. So as my last pair is slowly dying I had to decide to try this alternative model that isn't leather and more like standard running shoes. These arrived yesterday and putting them on felt very close to the same as the old model and after wearing them all day today I can confirm that they are very similar and I have to hope that he will last the three or more years like the other ones did. So after wearing them all day they were comfortable my feet don't hurt and I am glad to finally have a pair of shoes that might be slightly different from the previous ones but at least can feel their shoes. The quality feels very good like my previous tiger shoes and I can't really say anything negative, the blue inner layer really has an interesting design and look so the shoe actually look quite nice. So for my experience with tiger shoes for over 10 years is that I would pretty much only wear them regardless that they are safety shoes because they are that comfortable and they provide a very good feeling of safety which, so many times the toe protection just as the soles of the shoes probably save me from injury multiple times so while I don't even work in construction or any sort of labor type of work that could create a hazard, I feel like safety shoes are just an everyday good thing to have. So I cannot recommend tiger shoes enough as per my experience they last forever longer than any other shoes that I've ever purchased remain comfortable and if I had known that the other model would have disappeared I most certainly would have purchased at least another few pairs to last me until the end of my life.

Just like Blundstones but without the inflated price tag.
The boots met all my expectations. They fit a bit big so I had to get a different size, but the current boots fit great. They are so perfect for a construction manager that needs to go into the field [...] The boots met all my expectations. They fit a bit big so I had to get a different size, but the current boots fit great. They are so perfect for a construction manager that needs to go into the field periodically throughout the day but not doing physical work. Great buy and the price was right.
