I hear that they are very comfy. My last pair of boots were Wolverines, and lasted me about 2 years, paid $79 for them.

You shouldn't. But, that is all I ever wore on the drilling rigs and in the steel mill. They are pretty much industry standard.

They are the best work boots you can buy. Whether its worth it or not is debatable though.

I would never buy a 75 dollar boot unless it was a name brand on sale. 75 dollar boot i would wear out in under a year


Steel toes? What work are you in? Steal toe can have its disavantages, have they gotten lighter?


Research reviews, make sure it comes with a warranty on it


A good boot should last you at least 3 or 4 years.


Ive had one pair for 7 years

Nice, go for a lighter style, do they have hiking boots with steal toe or does it have to be a boot?

If your feet are comfortable, the rest of your body will be too.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

there are hiker boots, but I prefer boot looking boots. I need 6" boots minimum while onsite.
