Fellow OBers... My fiancé is getting me some new boots for Christmas to replace my Red Wings. Any suggestions? I've had red wings and Justins (terrible boot IMO). Y'all got any suggestions in the Wellington style genre?

The Justins I had were like dish rags in about three months. Just looking for something to wear to dick around in or to wear everyday. I literally never wear anything but boots with jeans and I don't want to wear out my Tony Lamas.

I have Tony Lamas with rubber grip sole. Had them for three years. Normally boots last 6 months or less.

Course I am at work plenty so I'm not wearing them daily.

For work boots, Hy-test or whatever the hell comes on the truck.

I don't remember the model I had, but they didn't look as sturdy as those fwiw.

I've had these for about a year. They are more comfortable than tennis shoes and have held up very well. I do take care of my boots though, clean every couple weeks, mink oil, ect.

Justin mule hide is the only boot I've ever had hold up more than 9 months. This pair is a year and a half old.

Different people fit different brands though.

Very true. I've heard good things about Georgia boot but damn they're ugly.

I've gone through a few pairs of Doc Marten steel toes and I'm on a pair of Justin steel toes. Both are comfortable, but both cause blisters. Justins are a little more comfortable IMO. I used to have a pair of lehigh swampers steel toed that were extremely comfortable and waterproof, but the were rubber and leather and insulated.

I just bought a pair of Worx steel toe from Red Wing and I love. Had Red Wings before and were not satified, but these are awesome. There is a waterproof pair, which I have and regular pair.
