Hey gang,
Just curious what your line of work is and how long do your boots last. I’m in the commercial plant nursery business and you’re lucky to get a year out of any brand. My timberland pros are going on 9 months almost shot.

I am in the market for a new pair. I need an insulated wide pair for when it gets cold, and was curious about the timberland pro vs redwing. How do they compare, the quality on each one, etc.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I got some Timberland 6" work boots maybe 2 or 3 months ago, and while I love them so far this morning I noticed a crack along where the sole meets the toe of my shoe. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never owned boots before, Is this normal? How do I go about repairing them? Thanks in advance

Had to warranty my second pair of Ariat Boots in six months, so I decided to give Thorogood a try. I work on chemical barges as a shoreside Tankerman for a living, so I’m hoping these can last a year.

Looking for boots for my daughter.

M9 or W11, wears men’s shoes/boots as much as women’s, average width foot in men’s.

Not for heavy (boot destructive) work, she’s helping with light construction, drywall, fixtures, interior/exterior paint and finish, landscaping, on this project. She might end up using them as general outdoor/travel footwear afterwards.

She has her old (over a decade) Danner Mountain Light that she’s been using for the same things. But turns out she’s outgrown her old high school boots and has had to wear them without innersoles, so her feet hurt. The Danners are still in good shape so they’ll go to my wife, who after breaking her ankle in flip-flops is trying to wear more substantial footwear for uneven terrain.

Anyway, daughter’s requests are: not too high, smooth leather, brown or black, highly water resistant, a boot she can wear for another decade. She’s partial to Danners and we live 10 min from their factory store so we can look for deals, but I’d be open to resolable boots from other good brands. Preference for USA made. No budget. Need them ASAP. They’ll be worn with Superfeet.

What should we consider from Red Wing, Thorogood, Danner, others?

Thanks!

Especially for day to day basis. Are they anywhere near as advertised.
