KodiakWear RoadBoots™

Frequently asked questions

Our KodiakWear boots are true to size for most drivers. If you're between sizes, we recommend going half a size up for maximum comfort, especially if you wear thicker socks.

They’re built for comfort from day one. Thanks to the memory foam sole and flexible upper, most drivers say they feel great right out of the box — no break-in period needed.

They're lighter than most traditional work boots. On average, each boot weighs about 20% less than standard brands, which reduces fatigue during long hauls.

With everyday wear, most truckers get at least 14 to 24 months of daily use — that’s over 100,000+ miles on the road

Absolutely. The slip-on design was made for drivers — easy to kick off during rest stops and just as quick to slide on before hitting the road again.

They’ve got slip-resistant soles and a water-repellent upper. While they’re not full-on winter boots, they handle light snow, rain, and icy steps much better than sneakers or standard footwear.

Yes — the memory foam insole has built-in arch support designed to reduce foot strain, even for drivers with flat feet or plantar fasciitis. You can ask us for a free insole.

Nope. The boots are designed with breathable mesh lining, which helps keep your feet dry and fresh, even on long hot shifts.

Comfort you can rely on — even 14 hours in.

Trusted daily by drivers who demand comfort, grip, and durability — no matter the miles.

Really designed for us

In my 25 years of hauling hazmat, I've worn through countless pairs of work boots. These are by far the best designed for our work. The safety features don't add unnecessary weight, and they're extremely comfortable on long journeys.

Great but missing women's sizes

My driving partner and I both switched to KodiakWear last year. The boots are holding up great even with constant use. They're comfortable for driving but also supportive enough when we're walking around truck stops or rest areas. The only improvement I'd suggest is making it in women's sizes My driving partner and I both switched to KodiakWear last year. The boots are holding up great even with constant...

Breathable and comfortable, laces need work

Good boots overall with excellent breathability - my feet don't sweat like they did in my old waterproof boots. The comfort while driving is definitely better than other brands I've tried. Taking off one star because the laces wore out pretty quickly, though customer service sent replacements for free when I called Good boots overall with excellent breathability - my feet don't sweat like they did in my old waterproof boots.

Good arch support

I've been driving for 15 years and have tried quite a few brands. These KodiakWear are not bad for arch support, it really helps with my throttle foot after 10 hours on the road. It's been 8 months and they're still holding up well, so we'll see how long they last. I've been driving for 15 years and have tried quite a few brands. These KodiakWear are not bad for arch...

Essential for ice road conditions

Working the northern routes in winter demands serious footwear. These boots have exceptional insulation without being bulky, and the traction on ice is the best I've experienced. Despite the harsh conditions, they're still waterproof and comfortable after a full season. The easy on/off design is perfect when you need to chain up in freezing temperatures. Worth every penny for those of us working extreme conditions. Working the northern routes in winter demands serious footwear.

Versatile for all port surfaces

Working the ports means I'm constantly on different surfaces - from concrete to gravel to metal docks. These boots handle it all with amazing traction. The composite toe protection is lighter than my old steel toes but just as effective when I'm around container operations. Best part is how they stay comfortable during those long wait times at the port without making my feet sweat.

Our Story — Boots Born on the Road

I was raised in the cab of a rig. My father was a trucker, and so am I.

Back then, good boots weren’t just gear — they were survival. But over time, I got tired of choosing between comfort and durability. So I built my own.

KodiakWear started with one mission: make boots that work as hard as we do. Tested on the road. Trusted by drivers.

From our family to yours — welcome to the brotherhood.
