Work Boots - Name your Brand

LOWA! if they are good enough to climb everest and for special forces, then they are good enough for me. I guarantee they will be the most comfortable boots you ever wear or I'll buy them from you(if they are 10.5)

You've got me looking at these now, I'm on my third pair of Red Wing 606's since 2003, I've not found another boot that I like quite as well.

I've used Aetrex (bought at Red Wing Stores) insoles with them almost exclusively, and that makes a world of difference in comfort. They've recently been discontinued so I've had to go with a pair of Sorbothane insoles.

RedWing. I'll NEVER buy anything other than Redwing. I wear mine to hell and back. And this is no exaggeration. I've ran 2 miles in a pair of steel toe. I wear mine to the Badlands when I go 4-wheeling and Jeepin'. I've walked thru mud and water. I wear them everyday at work, and I work in a machine shop. The last pair I had lasted 5 years. The pair I have now 3 years and going strong.

I love them.

Same here, Red Wings are awesome! Comfortable, durable, and not too bad looking if I say so myself. Mine have also been lasting around 5 years, that's great for a daily work work boot!!

Wolverine and Docs have been what I've worn the most but I prefer flip flops or low top chucks. 12-14 hours were doable in all steel toes boots and shoes I've had but if I'm not doing something that requires protection, it is all about comfort.

rusted moon might carry them, I know that JL waters in bloomington carries them.

Redwing!

 

[IndySSD]

I wore redwings for years and thought they were the bees knees... until I was introduced to Halls.

I've never felt less lower back or foot pain than when I was wearing my Halls.

I wore Redwings for probably 8 years, 3 pairs across multiple types of positions. I bought a set of Halls and wore them the last 3 years before I changed departments. My days were usually 9-14 hours of working mostly on my feet.

I'd never go back to Redwings from Halls, no way.

RedWings are the best boots I've ever owned. Mine have always been comfortable and herld up extremely well. I've got almost 10 years on my latest pair.

Converse

I had no choice in the color...

 

[Sweetums]

I use Red Wings. I prefer a logger/lineman 10" boot.

I always wondered what the preferred brand of Jack boot was.... Thanks Denny.

and I only mean the ones made in the USA. Break them in and have them re-soled when you wear them out. You can actually send them back and they will totally re-furbish them. When you get them back, they will look like new boots. True American craftsmanship.

i love the converse desert 6", but they arent waterproof. if you need something waterproof, durable, and affordable then go with the Danner.

Out of the boots I've tried it would be Wolverines.

 

[IndyMedic]

My duty boots now are Rockys but I hate Them and I'm going back to bates.
My outdoor in the dirt work boots are chippewa. Best work boot I have ever worn.

 

[bman1962]

I have wore Red Wing steel toe boots for 25 plus years. I would love to try some wolverines but I have had such good luck out of the Red Wings I can't bring myself to switch.
I will say it makes me sick that most of the Red Wings are no longer made in the USA and if anything makes me switch that might be it.

Model 606 by the way.

How does Danner run in sizes?

I really like these...

Danner - 30427X Danner® Light? - Boots


All I can find online are Brown, except on the Danner website.

Anyone know where I can find a Black pair cheaper than $300?






A much cheaper option I found are these RedWings...

Red Wing 971 Boots


All the other sites I found had them around $130-$140. I don't know why the one's in the link above are so much cheaper...always makes me leery.
