Red Wings work boots. The quality has admittedly gone down a lot in the past decade but it's still leaps and bounds better than any other off-the-shelf work boot. Saving up for a pair made by a PNW bootmaker, but my 4 year old 877s keep going
What bootmaker?
There are a few. Will probably go with Nick's Boots as my next pair. The quality to price ratio seems just right for my use
The only thing Red Wings has kept up on for quality is their hand-stiched boots, and they made them much more expensive than they used to be. What used to last 10+ years before needing repair; now only lasts about a year and can't be repaired. It's sad, because the leather is still good on my boots, but the soles are completely worn out and almost bald.
Yeah, I only buy from the heritage lineup, even though it is more expensive, because I prefer 100% leather outings. Buying lightly used boots is another good way to save money. Never had to replace a sole either, the leather always gives out before the sole for me and it doesn't make much sense to pay $100 to resole a pair of boots with holes in the toes.
