Help me find a good pair of casual boots?

just go with a simple pair of Justins. They're a gread deal at around $100. They look good, hold up well, and have the option of a steel toe in case you want to re-purpose them in the future as a work boot.

go get some regular toe RedWing or Ariat. Stay away from those super flat toe boots by Ariat.

Also Frye Boots

I like the brand called Ariat. You can get them at bass pro. I have worn them almost everyday for the past two years.

I actually start my first "blue collar" job on Monday.


Yay me

If you're not wearing them every day, no need for American made stuff, which is rare nowadays. Just go to a boot store and pick out whatever one you like. It doesn't really matter which brand or quality. For your needs, a $70 pair of boots would be fine.

I think Berkshire Hathaway owns most of the boot companies now, and 95% of them are made in China


Eta: American boots are much higher quality, thicker and better leather, better soles, re-soleable, etc. You don't need that for a casual boot

Most of my dress and casual shoes are square toe. Been wearing square toe shoes since the 7th grade , so it's time to try something different.

I'm mainly about comfort these days.
