Ive been wearing Timberland pro-series, they're really comfortable and hold up. Im in all kinds of diesel, grease, and haul hay for a living. Ive had this pair for about a year and so far so good. Ive had docs before, i liked them but they take a bit to break in.

I only wear Doc Marten boots now. I work in construction so they get used and abused all the time. My current pair I have had for almost a year and they are still holding strong. They work great on concrete or on dirt. I actually can not wear regular shoes anymore for more than a few hours without my feet and back hurting, but with the Docs I hardly have a problem. I know that Scottsjeeprolet wears Docs also and he swears by them, hopefully he will see this thread.

cool, did you have the pull on kind or just regular lace up kinds
|
I have the lace up kind, the pull on kind hurt my feet for some reason.
|
Pull on, so I dont det hay caught in the laces.

I had real bad luck with Docs. I went through three pairs in about a year and a half; I had the first pair for under a month when I split the soles in both using a shovel, then those got traded in for another pair that I babied for a few months until all the little nicks and scratches from being drug on concrete caused the leather to just fall apart, and then for some reason I bought another pair that also fell apart in under a year.
Leather's too soft, soles like to split, insides fall apart, the soft fabric around the top shreds, and the finger loops break. And I wasn't working in an oil field or anything, I was a 5'8" 180 pound high school/ college student when I had them. The Georgia Boots I had after that lasted about 10 months, but they took 2 months of blisters and bloody socks to get broken in, so I'm not going to go back to them anytime soon. After those I got some Redwings, which have lasted almost a year, broke in after a couple weeks and seem to have half their lives ahead of them. |
I had just about every kind of workboot...of course, we cant get some of the same ones you guys down south get. But, Ive had 3 pairs of Red wings and they have been pretty good for me. Red Wing can replace the soles if its needed.
|
one of the guys i work with swears by his redwings, he's gonna try some of their pull on's here next...but i cant see spending that kind of cash on something that might not last, i can eat $120 alot better than $215
