    RED WINGS!

    Four generations in my family have worn Red Wing Boots. I love my 1907's!!!

    I would steer clear of the chinese redwings. Buddy of mine had some and they got trashed in no time. Its the same deal Rob was talking about. The 8146's would look good on my feet but for 2 and some change they need to come with built in foot massagers. Lol

    I've always worn Redwings. But I like the looks of those Thorogoods.

    Are those steel toe at all? I need to purchase a steel toe pair but really want to find something very comfortable since I am on my feet so much and after trying multiple pairs of red wings I gave up with them.

    If you can not do it right, Why even do it at all?

    Yes they are steel toe and these boots are very comfortable. Not sure about durability because they are new but they are well built.

    They were one of the worst steel toes I have ever had. Clothes are great the boots I had were terrible.

    not sure if this has been said before or not. but inserts for boots.

    but ive tried the dr scholls foot mapping machines. were is measure your foot.
    i have no more back ache. i love this things, using cost 50 for the inserts, well worth 200 plus for them.

    Timerland pro, pretty good. Carhart better, very comfortable, but didn't last. Chippawa linesman, comfortable, long wearing. Just my 2 cents.

    Have a pair of Timberland Pro seris steel toe. I'm 6'3" 240#, have them for a year and wear them daily on concrete! No real wear showing on soles yet. Water proof, oil skid resisant, and electric resistant. By far the best pair of boots I have every owned.

    I have 2 pairs of Wolverine Northman boots, one pair is insulated and the other is not.
    They are good American made boots that are comfortable and I like them.
    I wont be buying Red Wings anymore, I'm not going to pay 200 bucks for China boots.

    I'm wearing a new boot to me. Georgia Boot. http://www.georgiaboot.com/ I have to say I am pleased with the fit. They had a pdf. file that you print and measure your size. I have been wearing mine about 8 months and just as good as ever.

    I love those Keen's ive been wearing them for the past4 years. I wore the non-steel toes before the industrial series came out because it looked as if they had steel toes and were rock hard when they were checked.

    I've been wearing Timberland Pro. Have trouble getting a year out of them though. They fit my feet however.

    Keen are by far the most lightweight comfortable steel toe Shoes I've ever owned. Perfect for service. Also they don't track any mud. I'm amazed and love that feature the best. In fact I stepped in a dog pile the other day and was shocked to look down and see no s*hit. My Chippewa will still be my boiler install choice of footwear, but those boots track mud terrible.

    Agreed. Keen boot are by far the best ones. I tried, Red Wing, Wolverine, Caterpillar, and.etc. spent 4+ hrs at work n' more, the store assistant was ready to quit her job, after helping me, and finally, after trying boot after boot, found keen I said "these are it". Very comfortable, slip resistant, non marking soles, just simply the best boots out there, not going to anything else.
