Yeah the nick will feel like a 2x4 on your foot for the first week or two. After that you wont want to take them off!!!

i like my double h's the only thing i dont like about them is if im outside and there is snow on the ground or if the ground is wet they are sliding bastards. not much tread on them but for working in the garage they are great. i had them for bout a year now and love them. i wear em all the time too more comfortable then my sneakers.

Red wings, 2259, 10.5-EE. I have 3 identical pairs, 2 for work and one for town. When the pair for town gets to dirty I switch it into work rotation then buy another pair for town.

I sure hope so, especially with the possibility of having to be in them for 20 hours a day, for an un determined amount of days straight

I completely wore out 3 sets of ariats in less than a year... i get around 8 months out of a set of justins... but they were really to far gone to even be considered a boot... now i've switched to double h's.... feel good and soles last pretty good... i weigh 260 on a size 11 1/2... theres some down pressure.... .. i stand or walk or run for on average 20 hours straight at a sale barn.... believe me ur knees and hips will tell u real quick if u have on good boots or not..
