I work on rig, wear Red Wings.
Looking into new boot, what recommendations you got?
I have tried on some Rockys that were pretty nice for only 170.00
Also good brand of muck boots?

I work in North Dakota and I just bought some Doc Martins. Very comfortable.

You know, I've tried a ton of different boots. My current pair are Bates GX-8 Composite toe side zip. I've found that a military style boot is more comfortable for me than a Wellington style boot.

I wear Converse boots. Composite toe, solid leather. And, they feel like tennis shoes.

Double H for me.
But a nice pair of RW's are hard to beat.

I just bought a pair of Mud Dogs by Georgia Boots. Really comfortable and they keep your feet dry if you're working in mud and water

I have a pair of red wings also and I really like them.
Very good boot imo.
Are you not happy with yours?

Looks like the RED WING 2491 / 2492 would be a good boot for the rig. Havent tried them but the BOA lace up system looks nice.

Tingley steel toe rubber boot
short upper, very comfortable, chem resistant. I wear them when I clean stalls. Horse piss eats through most rubber boots pretty quickly. These have held up well.

Wolverine Contour Welt.
They're good for someone with a wide foot. Comfortable as a pair of sneakers, and they last forever if you oil them from time to time.

Always wore Wolverines. The Javelina were comfortable. Luckily, the last few years for me are behind a desk. Loving my Sperrys!

Red wing
Spend the money on the boots. It is very much worth it

Red Wings for sure, especially if you're gonna be playing in the water a lot. I've put mine through hell, as long as you don't let them sit outside when wet they'll last at least a year; and hey, the company will buy you a pair every 6 months anyway.
Also, Ariat makes a very comfortable steel toe; I have a pair but I haven't given them too much hell yet. New company bought me some nice Carhartt boots, I think I've only worn them three times. I'll let ya'll know how they hold up in Colombia when I go in mid-May.
I also have a pair of Double H (not steel toe) that I wear as my errday shite-kickers.

Red wing soles go out too fast, but they are the best boot.
I have been wearing twisted x for over four years and will continue. I have a giant foot, so I can't find every brand, but they are the best fit, for me, and hold up the longest so far.
My only gripe is that the soles are too rigid. Great support all day, but when you climb ladders it's almost too stiff to feel the rung. On wet days the rung will sometimes slip into the heel notch if you mis step. Every shoe has the sliding scale of comfort and durability, but these fit me the best.
