Boots

My company pays $250 per year for safety toe boots that are required for my gig.
Bought this pair last month as I passed thru the town at the company flagship store/outlet.
Had a coupon for 30 bucks off and a cross company discount for another 10% off.
Retail for $320, I paid like 20.
I have been thru many brands but Red Wing has a proven history w me and is my first choice.

Boots met most of my requirements, are made in the U.S. and warranted for a year.
Most comfortable boots I've owned.

2411 Men's Burnside 6-inch Boot

 

$115...Carolina steel toe lace up. Last about 9 months.

 

I wear those tactical looking, black steel toes at Walmart for about $35. They are reasonably good and I've gone through two sets of them so far.

 

I wear Wolverine workhand steeltoe. They come in many different grades/prices.

If you buy the cheap ones, you can't walk in 2 days because you're now cripple.
They look the same, but they're not.

I always pay the $170ish for the upgrade instead of the $90 pair.

They last 12-24 months depending upon abuse and use.

 

I have a pair of those timberlines and the cheap 39$ Walmart boots for mud and such. Both do the job

 

SR Max SRM2660 Denali Men's Slip Resistant, Waterproof, Comp Toe, EH, Brown Hiker These are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn.
