    I went to boot barn and paid 139 for some justin boots. They only get worn in sunny weather . Have cheap pairs for rain and mud and other elemnts. I wear timberland sneakers during day and driving. Real comfortable

    I've gone with 6" wolverine legend durashock with the cabonmax safety toe. They check all the boxes for me being a local cryogenic driver I'm in and out of the truck for 12-14hrs a day. They come in wide with, waterproof, relatively light, and have a short break in period. Only downside I'd say is they do run kinda hot in warmer weather. I believe they are around $180-$200 but the company pays for most of it I drop maybe like $20.

    I like Ranchers, plenty of toe room, and non slip thick sole. Only drawback, can’t kill a roach in a corner.

    Only had them 3 months. I don’t wear them in the rain for a long period. I use the cheap boots for that. My last pair was about 2 years. But it’s mostly dry work

    Wearing cheap boots is like wearing a cheap motorcycle helmet. I care about my feet and my back, therefore I buy good quality boots and insoles. 5yrs on my Double H's and they're more than ready to be replaced, but still going strong.

    I also have some Cat work boots in the truck for when needed and of course tennis shoes, because driving in boots all the time is dumb.
