I know this is totally unrelated to shooting, but seriously, I would really appreciate some opinions on who makes the best work boots.
I used to wear Redwing boots, but about ten years ago, I found out that the soles don't hold up and the heels wear out too soon. I only got 8 months out of that pair.
Then I tried Justin boots. I got a good pair that lasted me almost two years, so I bought another set. The new set didn't last because again the heels wore out. I was told that Justin is not holding the standards of quality that they used to. I asked around and was told that Timberland Pro makes a darn good lace up boot, so I bought two pairs of those about 9 months ago. Now the tread is peeling off the home pair (non steel toe) and the sole is cracked in two on the work pair (steel toe).
All I want is a good pair of pull on or lace-up steel toed boots that give good support and will last me two years. Seems like I used to buy a pair of boots and I would get more than 3 years out of them, but now, I am just dumping money on junk that doesn't hold up.
I would appreciate any input from you fellers.
I am a machinist, (employed and business owner) so I am standing on concrete for 12+ hours a day.
Do any of you fellers wear the same boots you bought two years ago, and still like them?
Thanks
