Best logger boot heels were created to provide more ankle coverage for all-day work on rough and uneven terrain. When dropped or stepping on an irregular surface with a shifting center of gravity, the heel absorbs some of the impact, which is especially important during extended seasons in and out of logging trucks. People wear them for a variety of reasons, including protection against over-pronation (a bony deformity) and toe problems such as black-toe syndrome. Furthermore, many women find that having elevated toes helps keep pressure off the ball of their foot when walking for long periods of time on hard surfaces, which increases comfort significantly for those who suffer from lower extremity conditions like hammer toes or claw feet.
