Back in my day twenty years ago we all wore Red Wing welding boots, They were tough and comfortable

If you can afford them Red wing is the way to go. I've worn many pairs of shitty boots, that's probably half the reason I walk funny now. I can't wait to get myself a pair of $200+ Red wings. It's not that much compared to what some of these people pay for the dunks and whatever vintage sneakers we wore as kids.

Everyone in my shop wears the moccasin red wings, no steel toe and a very limited tread but also slip resistant. I do Tile though so we aren’t doing welding lol. Only on side jobs Ill braze some copper but thats about all I am doing with fire.

I quit wearing steel toes a while back. I wear the same Ariat cowboy boots that Rip wears in Yellowstone. Most comfortable boot I've ever worked in. My grandpa always told me before he left this shitty world, don't go cheap on your boots or your bed, because if you're not in one you're in the other

Agreed I have Ariat boots ( comfy and durable). While the price up front feels like a lot, the long term cost is less than the sweatshop/ child labor shoes most people in the us wear.

@@layleedayne4772 a lot of the guys I work with wear those really cheap Walmart boots, and wonder why their backs and knees hurt. I try to tell them it's the boots on their feet but they ain't having it.

@layleedayne4772 Жыл бұрын

@@danielfinney4295 if it means anything to you I agree with you. If your feet aren't healthy those problems can work their way up the body especially if there's any injury. Lost of modern shoes too because they don't give at all out pressure or squeeze the foot too much that the arches start to drop which is bad. I've heard a few sports medicine professionals talk about it happening to their semipro athletes.

@layleedayne4772 Жыл бұрын

I also just remembered one of the biggest issues with steel toes is that the toe caps themselves are meant to fit both sides. They don't have a left and right form for them which can cause uneven pressure on the toes or cramp them.

Red wing is, in my opinion, the best boot available. Comfortable, tough, and the only boot i can squeeze 2 years out of. Timberland doesn't get enough recognition, they make awesome comfortable work boots as well. Glad to see them getting some love. I was surprised not to see any Carolina boots on here. They are a amazing boot, especially if your on a student budget.
