Rocky or Georgia
wolverine-went down the toilet years ago- they're just riding their reputation
It`s better to be silent and thought the fool; than speak and remove all doubt.

Keen makes steel toes. No sh**! I'll have to check those out. My wife loves all 3 pairs she has and she's the pickiest shoe buyer I know. SHe's on the 4th different brand and style of running shoes in 3 years and she doesn't even run much.
I've had Timberland pros the last 6 years, but I've had heel inserts in them the last 2 due to a planter faciitis issues in one foot and they now ear out socks really fast. I think I need something with more stability.

I've been 'shopping' for new work boots for about a week, now.
I've tried on Rocky's, Wolverines, Chippewa, Timberlands, and other brands that I've forgotten.
Not a ONE of them fit me properly.
Finally walked into a Red Wing store and, when the guy asked if he could help me, I just asked him "Do you have a pair of boots that FIT, please?"
He measured me and I needed the widest boot that Red Wing makes, a 13H. It is on order because he didn't have it in the style that I wanted.
I'll keep ya updated on them once they come in.

danner, they are small for listed size, but when tried on in person instead of online purchase the right size is usually the next up. very happy with several models, using 6gtx right now.

The timberland pro seem to be good. I have the internal metaguard ones, but next pair I think I will switch to external and get dip tested boots. I don't know what I'll get. These timberlands have lasted a year which beats the 8 months I usually get out of boots. Drives me nuts how fast shoes come apart.

I can't wear boots because nobody seems to make 4E or 6E boots that are wide in the toe box.
Redwing completely fails at it, as they seem to use the same toe box for all widths.
I have to make due with New Balance 6E width walking shoes made on their SL-2 last.If more government is the answer, then it's a really stupid question.

I bought my first pair of redwings this last go round. Been in wolverines and was tired of two pair a year. Doc martin welingtons were awesome and lasted over a year but wanted to see what the hype was with the wings. Extremely satisfied with the fir, i can stand pretty much all day with comfort. But sadly i believe these won't last me a yr..wearing down rather quickly..lots of roofs,ladders, and conventional rafter crawling
