Redwing would be my vote but they're pricey for a lot of people. I get $150 for my boot allowance so I still had to pay $150 out of pocket for mine but they're solid.

Second vote for Redwing. I know boots are expensive but I plan on being able to walk for about 20-30 years after I retire. Spend the extra money on good boots!

Irish Setter are the same company as Red Wing and cheaper. I have pairs of both, and the Irish Setters are great for the money

Oh really? I thought Irish setter was a model of redwing boot, thanks for letting me know. My boss has some Irish setters and is mad he can't find them at the red wing store any more.

You're welcome! I loved my Wingshooters, They were bulky af but I could hike and hunt in them all day. If you can ignore the weight of them, they were very comfortable.

Irish Setter has their own website. I just bought a new pair on the bass pro shop website, they had more coupons lol

You can replace the sole too! Love my Redwings!

Third this, I've worn the same pair for about 3 years now and they're just about due for a resole. I work in a warehouse, standing and walking all shift, and they're the most comfortable boots I've worn

My tops and bottoms wear out before my second sole does. I take care of them with soap and oil, too. I may switch to whites and see if they last any longer

Another vote for redwing. If you get the King Toe shorty boots which are still above the ankle you can get them with a boa system even at $200 your boot allowance from your company gets you close. I love those boots I have had 4 pair of king toes and there isn’t another boot that I like better. Tried Danner, Timberland, Justin, keen, Wolverine, Rocky. Red wing is my boot of choice plus free shoelaces when they break. They will clean your boots and even replace the sole if you want to keep them longer.
