Have to agree with Joey D, Redwings are the boots for me. I have owned nothing else for over 10yrs. Yes they are expensive but good. I put a thick insert in them and were them on concrete shop floor no problems. My wife finally got on me to buy a pair of tennis shoes because she got sick of me always wearing my redwings everywhere we went. I said but honey they are comfortable. I buy a pair every yr or 2 and spend around $200
