durable boots

I vote for Redwings too. They're the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, even with internal metatarsals. I don't know about the chem/fuel resistant soles, but I've never had a problem getting a pair resoled. They're a little on the pricey side for some models, but in my opinion they're worth every penny.

 

Go into Redwings store,and let the salesman know you work in fuel,and oil,and they will have whay you are looking for.You get what you pay for,so get ready to pay for a good pair of boots.

 

Danner boots. Red wing makes alot of there product in china now. Buy american!

 

By the way if you don't believe red wing boots are mostly made in china look at the tag inside the tongue. Or ask a store clerk to show you only boots made in usa. Maybe a few styles that's it.

 

You can choose to search the country of origin on Red Wings website... They make 271 styles of work boots, 82 are American made...

 

Wescos are made in oregon,

excellent boots that if taken care of will last you 5 to 10 years... Kind of pricey but in my opinion they are well worth it.... Look at the cost spread out yearly over say a 5 year period. They get better then....

Just google wesco boots

 

+1 for the Red Wings.

You need to give them a try.

 

I wear Keen boots. Very good not cheap though.

 

My current pair is a set of timberlands that were BNSF approved. Biggest mistake ever I've had them for a year both soles are seperating the steel plate underneath the sole is rusted and half gone on my right boot, the toes are peeling off, leather is shot, still comfortable but they were a waste of $140. My pair before that was a set of CAT work boots. The cheap 89.99 pair you can buy at sears. Steel toe (same as current) electrical hazard (same as current) slip, oil, and water resistant (same as current) not as comfortable but for half the price you can put new insoles in them to make them comfortable. Now as I said I had these timberlands for a year and they're shot. I wore them old kitties for 5 years, wore both toes out of them finally at 4.5 years, rerivetted them at 3 years with pop rivets and they kept on going. Only reason I don't wear them anymore is because they're no longer waterproof and my feet freeze in the winter when wet. I still have them boots in my closet they still fit and still have about 80% tread left on them. Had them boots long enough to run 3 nails through my foot but those were still the best boots I ever bought. Probably wouldn't buy that pair for winter because they weren't insulated but for summer boots and being rugged wouldn't buy anything else and I'd recommend them to anybody that needed a good pair of steel toes. I wore them darn things every day probably walked a good 2000 miles in them back in the day and they wore great. If you want a good pair of boots that are cheap and last well buy them. Invest in a pop riveter and some new insoles and you'll be good to go for a long time.

 

I like redwings they are good. But my last pair of boots I bought over a year ago are Chippewa's they are still like new. they hold up really well. I drive a tanker and Im out in the field a lot,around oil,fuel,water etc....I paid 180$ and worth every penny...
