I'm in need of a new work boot, it doesn't have to be steel toe but I don't mind it. I wear boots pretty much everyday as in between the office and the field constantly.

I currently have a pair of Georgia boots and have not been pleased with them. In my experience red wings are the most durable but they just aren't that comfortable.

What's the OB's go to for a comfy durable boot?

I like my stay home from work boots better.

Red Wings. Their top of line Pecos slip on. Hard to beat with any metric...sans cost.

Wolverine Multi Shox aren't bad, around $140 or so

Give the KEEN Industrial line a look- most comfortable steel toe I have ever worn (Red Wing King toe included)

I walk around and climb on shite every day at work. I wear my Ariats every day and they're more comfortable than my Nikes.

Which Ariats do you have? I have some Ariats but they are a square toe "cowboy" style boots. They are not really a work boot.

Best I've had so far. Where steel toe 5-7 days a week. I believe they're made here in the great U.S.A. too!

Danner is my choice generally, though I have some black Matterhorns for bad weather that are the absolute bomb. To be fair, I went chinese for the Danner for cost, but if they failed, I would probably kick up to the recraftable ones.

I thought Bellevilles were comfortable until I started wearing Danners.

I wear boots nearly every day, and my favorite work boot is the Red Wing 1155.

In fact, I'm wearing them today:

Depends on what you need a boot for – when I was on platforms back in the day I used wolverines, had padnahs that swore by redwings. Now that I am outdoors and need a hiking style boot I go w/ timberland pros – composite toe, light, lots of support, waterproof.

not sure if you are familiar w/ KEEN. i didn't even know they made workboots until i was looking for some new sandals. i ordered some steel toe and it's just like wearing tennis shoes.

i will never buy another brand. just ordered these for my trip to North Dakota.
