    I recommend Red wings, go there they will measure you, tell them what you need the boots to have, waterproof, safety toe, etc, you can't go wrong for about 150 dollars they are the best boots I have owned, I have the 5611(can't see them on their website), but they are so comfortable and my feet have never gotten wet. Also they offer a 30 satisfaction guarantee on their boots, and a 6 month warranty if something comes apart they will replace for free, and can't go wrong with free boot oiling for life.

    That's what i'll be getting is redwings soon as Ray gets up.Certain things you have to spend to get your money's worth.Don't know why I got the Walmart boots in the first place.I want something that isn't heavy.The boots I did wear.I took them off soon as I was done loading and drove with my tennis shoes.

    Bought myself a pair of Timberland boots for $128.00.If for any reason within 30 days they're not comfortable I can bring them back,no questions asked.So far they feel real nice,I think im going to be satisfied.The store was sold out of Redwings.I'm going to see if my company will reimburse me maybe pay half.Afterall that's the only reason for the boots.They do reimburse the drivers if they buy jeans.
