"Redwings. Make sure you buy them from a corporate store. They give you a 30 day return, no questions and painless."

"I ended up with Red Wings like I always do."
"I really like the RedWing Tred Lites."

Nick's
5.0
(7)
"Because I’d say Nicks, Whites, or JK and have them fit. Yep, they’re spendy but they are a lifetime boot."
"I would suggest quick ship Nick's builder pros or JK overtime and or super duty. They aren't cheap, but it doesn't get any better than them."
"Best? Nicks, whites,jk, origins."
"If you want the best it's probably nicks/whites/jk. All of them should have what you are looking for but be ready to spend 6-700$."
"My Nick’s by far have been the most comfortable."
"I would go with timberlands, ariat, thorogood, nicks, or basically any boot with good foot support."
