Looking for a work boot any leads would be helpful..specs below:

Thorogood work boots are the best you can buy. Made in Wisconsin. www.midwestboots.com

 

Check the labels and buy American. We need to keep our neighbors, friends and countrymen working! Screw China! Buy American

 

I second the Red Wing

 

Another Redwing
I get about 2 yrs out of a pair, I get the western style pull on and still have not been able to wear out the soles. They are about $150. after using 25% off coupons

 

Get the best fitting boot made any way you want. I know the owner and he is the best in the country, can even put in a carbon fiber toe instead of steel.
He has fifty years experience in orthopedics so you get the perfect fit.

Double H western boots are really good.I also like Tony Lama.

 

Wolverine.
Bought a pair 3 years ago and I wear them every day.
Steel toe.
Water repellant.
Slip on.
Grip sole.
Leather outers.
Look like cowboy boots with he rounded toes.

I've had to do some walking a few times in these.
Took a 5 mile leisure walk while on a 34 the other week to check out the town of Green River Wyo ... no problem. Feet never hurt.

I think they were in the $80-$100 range.
Academy Sports.

When these die I'll not even think about anything else

 

Last boots I bought were ariat. they felt like they were sized wrong at first. left boot felt at least a half size too small and the right was a little loose. The left eventually broke in and fits comfortably but this will probably be the last pair of ariats I buy. I have 2 pair of lace up Georgia giant by georgia boot, 6 inch and 8 inch, in the closet at home that I was given through work and haven't even took them out the box. As I think about it, I haven't worn a pair of lace up boots in at least 10 years.

 

These boots are all the rage this summer, better get them while they’re hot!

 

I used to like Carolina's but they quit making the boot I liked and held up from 3 yr everyday use. 10in tall waterproof all the way up to the top of the laces with Gore-tex, 600g thinsulate vibram sole slip/electrical hazard. If you can find new old stock I highly recommend them. Just don't waste your money on their new boots, quality went down big time

Lasted a year of food service going up and down the ramp a hundred times a day and 2 years in the muddy oilfields. My dads lasted the same amount of time as mine. I bought red wing pull on and he bought a new pair of Carolina's and he's close to needing a pair
