I needed some composite toe boots for my last project. I picked a pair of Thorogood V-Series 8in Crazyhorse style #804-3237 for about $180. They’re waterproof, uninsulated, EH protecting, Goodyear welt boots. They held up to 7 months of multiple miles a day outdoors in every condition. From 95 degree days to a foot and a half of snow. I plan on getting another season or two out of them. I give them a monthly wash, but no other care outside of that. I can’t attest to their BIFL status since I’ve only gone one season with them, but they’ve kept my feet safe and dry under extremely heavy use. Treating them right and continuously paired with infrequent usage, and I could see them lasting a good while.
