What Kind of Work Boots do You Guys Wear?
 
What's the brand/style of shoes you guys wear? Do you wear them all the time or just for work? I'll start.
Red Wing's. They are 2233's. Very nice boot. I wear them all time.

I just went a year on my second pair of 2233 and wanted a third pair, but Redwing discontinued them. I couldn't find size 10D's when I was looking last month, so I ended up with Justin's version of them a couple days ago, style 797.

Keep in mind with Ariats, Justins, Chippewas and most "good" brands aren't all made in the US; they have Chinese-made knock-offs that the sell to "big" stores like Boot Barn, while the US ones are harder to find.

I where custom built nicks work boots from a local boot shop here in town and I where them everyday. I have had them for 8 years and had then rebuilt 3 times and resoled 7 times. And if I dont wear those I wear tony lama or ariat cowboy boots

I wear Timberland Pro. I wasn't too sure at first, but I like them. I worked as a millwright in a steel mill where they used to issue us boots. These were the best looking (and most expensive) ones on the truck. They lasted me almost a year, whereas my previous boots (a local brand) would last 4-6 months if I was lucky.

Really, that's odd. I got a size 10 1/2 D at the store no problem. Before I even told them my size they told me that if they didn't have it they could get it. I love them, this is my first pair of nice work boots. I had something like Brutus II's from walmart for a long time, and they stopped making them so I decided I'd get something nice. Well worth the money.

They are listed on their website still. Did the Redwings guy lie to me? :humm:

I think you need to ask your dealer again or maybe find someone else because they deffinentally still have them......

Aria Cobalt. They see a lot of abuse in the Oilfield, and they usually last 2 years. Expensive, but my feet stay comfortable, even when I'm standing four or more hours. Like em so much, I bought a pair to replace my sneakers.

i just went and picked up a pair of danner workman's in a steel toe, i have another pair of danner non steel toe's that i have had for a couple years now and love them.
