New Boot Question.

I am pretty strictly soft toe. Tried steel toe, and didn't like how fast the leather wore away showing steel all the time. Might give steel toe another try, if I can get some tough toe applied before wearing.

I like Redwings, seem to keep feet dryer longer, and keep dirt out from seams longer than others. No matter what brand, I have to put gel work insoles in them after a month. Makes a new boot out of them, and I feel less fatigue at the end of the day.

 

I personally dont care for CAT boots, really didnt find them comfortable. I have had a pair of CAT, Timberland and Red Wing. Even though a little more expensive, the Red Wings were by far the best. They have last me OVER a year and still have plenty of life left in them. All my other boots are lucky to make it a year. I have the steel toe Red Wings and haven't really ever complained that they are too hot. I have noticed on some summer evenings my feet are a little damp (not bad though).

 

Surprised, considering me and another guy both praised. If you can get CAT for cheap give them a whirl, why not?

 

If Red wing only lasted you 6 months , then expect about 2 months out of Cat.

 

What he ^ said

 

I've heard people whine about the price before, but your the first I ever heard challenge the durability.
