i need some idea's on some good work boots...

on my second pair of redwing boots in two years...

when i wash and grease 'em about once a month or so

i was doing alright untill i reach month 5 or 6 on a pair of boots and when i wash 'em and let 'em air dry the leather gets this lovely smell mildew imbedded in 'em yeah it really stinks...

i still do like my red wings i've just have had bad luck cleaning 'em

so what are other good pairs of work boots out there...

they need to be water proof would like it to have steel toe as well...

 

I have had good luck in the past with Caterpillars .. They make a good shoe and comfortable too ..

 

i liked caterpillars but they don't make good enough waterproof boots

 

Timberland 6inch.

 

ROCKY
9" Ranger Steel-Toe Boot. Waterproof Gore-Tex® fabric. ANSI approved steel toe. Durable Goodyear Welt construction is resolable. 600 grams of Thinsulate™ Insulation. Rubber Vibram® Montana outsole.
$139.00 (since they are resolable they will last for a long time. Rocky makes a good product.)

also, try this site to look around.

 

stay away from "sketchers work boots (made for people who work)" my pair that i got, the intire soul cracked in half, both of them. and the same thing happend to my ex. after about a month or two

 

Im in the military and would actually highly reccomend a set of our steel toes. I can get some exact model numbers if you tell me what features you want. I work heavy construction along with our normal military training and work. And they always hold up. If it wasnt for the fact that we have to shine them and keep them looking good, a pair could easily 2 years with no problems.

I have tons of Bates, Materhornes, and the such...

 

i'm thinking some thing like this

http://www.boots99.com/order/rocky/6114.htm

i might go for the pair you showed...

are they made in usa, china (i hope not) ect... ect... ect...

 

can't go wrong with rocky. here is their website instead of a distributer. they can get costly. click the "work" section.

 

yeah i know its the same way with red wing boots

 

Will these Rocky boots hold up to acid and lye? I need to find my partner some decent boots, the caterpillars wore out in less then 4 months.

 

what do you think of this one?

i kind of fancy this one alot...
