Looking for a pair of comfortable workboots. I've been wearing/buying the same pair for over 6 yrs (Timberland PRO 6" Steeltoe). They are getting a bit heavy.
Looking to maybe getting some Redwings. Worth it?
I work at a construction site for a homebuilder.
What do ya'll wear/recommend?

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
I tried a pair of Red Wings years ago, they feel apart in less a year. They were very comfortable boot just not put together.
My employer paid $120/yr towards shoes/boots. My trick was to get a new pair every year when the pair from the past year was half worn, and then switch off every day. It seemed if the boots had a day to sit and rest, they dried out and my feet were happier because they never got used to the same boots day in and day out.
Anyone ever wore Wolverines or Carhartt? My dad wore Wolverines and that's all he bought ...
and If any of you mention Die Hard, you can go suck on a Padilla 8x80.
Your socks deserve these. Just sayin'!
Daniel... I'd say it comes down to who is paying for the shoes, and what feels best on your widdle footsies. If the boss is paying for a pair a year, and something like Wolverines or Carhartts feel best, those should last long enough and keep your feet happy. If it's coming out of your pockets and Red Wings are comfy, in the long run you might come out ahead.
OTOH, if this was only the slickest work boot dry beg in the history of the planet, I hope you get bombed w/ the right size and color.
A guy I work with refuses to spend money on a good pair. In the two years we've worked together he has killed 6 pairs of Walmart boots. I've only replaced the laces in my red wings once. By my calculations, I've spent less. Buy once cry once is cliche but true
Agree with Edward, these Irish Setters are so comfortable I can't wear the new ones I got from work last year.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
If so, a composite toe is gonna be lighter than a steel toe and offer the same protection. I like Red Wings simply because they fit me well, they are pricier than Wolverienes/etc but find the size/style you like in store then shop online and you can usually save some $$$.
If you don't need toe protection, look at a pair of unlined boots. I've heard good things about Woolrich and Thorogood but, personally, have never worn them: https://huckberry.com/store/t/category/footwear/boots/work-boots
