    $130 for a pair of Keens with composites every 9 months. Very short breakin period. Very comfortable and light.

    I work tough conditions for boots, and I'm out in it about 4-5 hours a day. They're ventilated so they'll dry out, and I wear them year round.

    For me, its always the Gore-tex vents that rot out. When they're done, the soles are about shot by then too, from catwalks and steps.

    I hate steel toes and I won't wear them.

    I like to hike and camp so I am partial to hiking boots. I also like to have waterproof boots when possible.

    Salomon is my favorite brand. They are pricey but worth it imo. My last pair was $109 from Amazon.

    I paid $160 for Timberland Pro boots. They lasted 4 years. I now buy Cintas AirDisk for $75 and they last 2 years and are much lighter and the sole is more sturdy.

    when i first started driving, the company i had worked for said that i MUST have steel toed boots or shoes. so off to the local dept store i went, and got the cheapest pair they had..uncomfortable SOB's that they were, but i met thier standing orders to have them. think i only paid about $15.00 back then.

    Normal I think, I can't stand the square toed cowboy boots, feel like a clown walking around with giant feet.

    Sure there is. Keene is known for making wider than the size indicates.
    You guys got me thinking stupid. There is a pair of Ostrich Justin's at boot barn. They are sooooo comfortable! I'm resisting going and getting them.
