[@Geopoliticstoday2]

Truth..lol Related to vegans?

[@suziohug]

That is like me saying “ I’m a touchdown scoring half back” And I’ll run the football field 10 1/2 seconds. Which was actually true 25 years ago. Now it’s probably gonna take me 10 minutes.

Ironman, marathon runners, triathletes, they all say it even if you dont ask. Those ppl also tend to think they are over and better then everyone else. Worst then a vegan. I know 10 of them, 7 of which i dont talk to anymore because it became toxic. Ive noticed also many will come run to save you only to make things actually worst and kill you. They'll make the situation worst rather then help. Just my opinion from being around a bun h of those ppl.

[@bolland83]

As someone who typically goes through about 2 dozen pairs of cheap socks a year, I was hesitant to spend a lot on socks, and holy cow was I stupid. My first pair of "darn tough" socks is over a year old and still looks and feel like new. They're pricey, but you really do get what you pay for with them, and if you don't believe me that they are really that good, check out their warranty. Yes, you read that right, a warranty, on socks.

I do mechanic and bodywork all day. Been wearing the same pair of Red wing Iron rangers for about seven years. Had the heels changed once. They run really big so you should size down 1/2 to one full size. I purchased my true size and added a footbed from red wing. These things are like slippers on my feet. They mould to your feet and are like a second skin. The all leather construction absorbs any moisture so I put my boots on a boot drier over night. The toe cap reinforces the toe and affords ample protection. These things are made like boots were made 100 years ago. It worked then and still works now. I expect to have them at least another seven years. Pricey but worth it.

Nicks handmade boots. You’ll be glad you looked them up.

[@darrellanderson7934]

Working as a mechanic for the last 15+ years I've found footwear to be much more important than when I used to drive 18 wheelers, for obvious reasons. Honestly, the most comfortable and durable work boot that I've ever owned was made by a company called Shoes for Crews. The biker style strap boots that I purchased from them had a very comfortable insoul and most of their products are TRUELY non-slip and came in both soft and steel toe. These boots surprisingly lasted many years for me in comparison to the 3-6 months that any other boot manufacturer. The only down fall to this pair of work boots, (other than the price tag,($250)), was the fact they would get so hot in the southeastern Texas summers. But even wearing flip flops are hot on most summer days down here. Unfortunately now, Shoes for Crews no longer sells this particular boot or anything similar to it. For all day comfort, the non slip material and tread and all out durability of these boots, I'd gladly pay another $250 or more for them.

[@omjup7972]

Wow, I worked at SFC for almost 20 years and you’re the first person to have such a positive review on their work boots. What do you wear now?

[@darrellanderson7934]

@@omjup7972 unfortunately some cheap-o brand now because I haven't found anything that comes close to the durability. To be clear about the comfort, I did have to add a cushioned insole after about a year to keep the comfort

[@guillermomorales5882]

Nicks handmade boots takes care of most of the cons from this video. Don’t settle for 6 months to a year of durability, set your expectations higher. It’s a piece of equipment.

[@douglasstewart518]

Just FYI. After decades of trying out different insoles I've found the most comfortable hands down is a good, well made shearling insole. Believe it or not, they are so comfy because they form to your foot, absorb sweat and because they naturally contain lanolin, they retain absolutely 0 odor. Contrary to what one may think, they are not hot at all and are amazing throughout the year.

[@photog1529]

I'm an engineer at a manufacturing facility, and safety shoes are a must. For the past fifteen years, I've been wearing Timberland Pro safety shoes...very comfortable, very soft out of the box...no "breaking in" necessary. I don't have wide feet, and the Timberlands are available in a medium width as well. They also hold up well...I just replaced my 3-year old pair this past week.

[@warrenmcelroy4718]

For normal walking, standing, working on concrete floors all day the Timberland Pro’s seem to do very well, sadly I cannot use them because the constant heat under my feet causes the soles to melt right off and I have to wear slip on boots as I can get them off much quicker than lace ups in case of an emergency.

[@tebo2770]

While I do like the Timberland Pro, they are very heavy compared to others I have had. As I get into my 50's it seems weight is becoming a huge consideration that I didn't have before. I'm an auto tech so steel toes are not required for me.

[@matthewotis3594]

Most comfortable work boot depends on who you ask. Everyone likes different things and use them for different jobs. I drive a mobile shred truck and do a lot of walking in hospitals collecting large containers of paper. I have lots of boots but my favorite at the moment are My Red Wing Moc toes with vibrom christi soles. These soles don't last as long as something harder but they are great for comfort and with the Goodyear welted construction they're easy to resole

The Keen boot you show here with the Flat Wedge Sole is what I’ve been wearing for the past 2-3 years. They are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. I tend to even wear them for Casual use because they are so comfortable. My feet never bother me and the outer sole has never let me slip in the Cold frozen ground we can have here during the winter months. I will keep wearing this boot as long as I can. I stay ahead of it and always have a new pair in a box waiting until it’s time for a new pair. That way I can go from a pair I’ve wore for the past 6-8 months to a new pair without needing to go buy them in a hurry. Then in the next month I will order another new pair to have on hand for the next time. I usually continue to wear my retired pair for as my casual boots for the next 6-8 months until the newest pair takes their place. Best, most comfortable Work boot I’ve ever wore in my entire life and I’ve been wearing work boots for the past 35 yrs of my life.

[@orangecrush5512]

I'm 53 years old. I have worked in some for of construction all of my life. The last 20 of those have been in road maintenance. The Timberland Titan is BY FAR the most comfortable work boot I have ever worn. They were as comfortable as my tennis shoes, right out of the box. The problem is that the things that made them so comfortable....soft leather and soles......also made them much less durable. Kicking a shovel with them could be painful if you had to do much of it during the day. After trying many different brands, I've found Keen boots to have the best balance of durability and comfort.

[@Mordant.Melodys]

I may try out the Timberland Titans then. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really care about anything but comfort. We’re required to wear steel toes and I obviously think they are important, but I care more about comfort than how much shit they can withstand. I just started working construction after years of military and corrections. My feet were not prepared for how uncomfortable these boots are lol. I appreciate your comment because I’m in massive pain by the end of the day.

I bought a pair of these boots two years ago and they were amazin! When the soles got worn out, I went back and bought a second pair direct from their website. They've since cheapened out some of the materials, including the cushy insole they once had.

[@izzystrange1359]

Some of the boots you can get re-soled so they can last years. If you get 2 pairs and alternate daily you can double the life. If you have a pair that lasts 1 year of daily use, get 2 and switch daily between the 2 to allow the boot to rest between wears and you could go 4 years before repairing them or buying your next couple.

[@richardfowler3254]

I would say you can get "Triple Life" when you have 2 pair of work boots since the boot worn one day has more than 24 hours to dry out before they are worn again. I learned this from an old journeyman after I started work in my trade... Just remember that if you wear boots everyday, you make your living on your feet so do not go cheap on your footwear.

One thing about treads. My biggest requirement is to be able to go from outside to inside without tracking in mud. Especially if you’re in the cement or plastering trades.

Scarily if you can get past the initial break in the Red Wing 10877 is bar none the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Lasts about 10 years with proper maintenance until the leather insole dies. The leather insole, cork filling, and wedge Vibram blown rubber ends up being the most comfortable bar none. Essentially you end up with a custom fit. Where as other boots start to fail me around the 3 month to 6 month mark like Keens, Carolina, etc. I just recently got a pair of Nick’s boots made which cost $530, time will tell how they work out but so far looking good. Sometimes in life you get what you pay for. If there are two things in life not to skimp out on it is where you sleep and what you put on your feet.

[@CloutTrout]

Couldn't agree more with that last statement. Now that its been awhile since you posted this, how are those Nick's boots treating you? I was also thinking about switching from my Irish Setters to Nick's if its worth paying twice the amount.

[@Vultain]

@@CloutTrout They have become my most comfortable pair bar none! I am truly tempted to buy a second pair so I can have two Nick's and the 10877. No regrets, I was fit in person but I just recommend following their fit sheet and see how things go. Sizing for me was a half size down from my flex point. It depends on sock thickness. I could have probably gone down to an 11E or 11D and been fine too. As it is I wear an 11.5D in the HNW and the extra toe room has been nice.

Redwings and Justins (Made in U.S models). Both are extremely comfortable, tough, and have the added bonus of being able to be resoled. I got a year and 1/2 out of my Redwings, got them resoled, I expect another year and 1/2 out of them. My Justins lasted 2 years at a less intense job, just pulled them out and got them resoled, so I expect another year or 2 out of them at least too, especially if I alternate them with my Redwings like I plan to.

Timberland pro Boondocks and pro line are the best I’ve ever had. I have extremely wide feet I can even where the regular width boots 🥾. I have to have safety toe for work these are the only ones I’ve found that don’t cut into my toes.

I tried the Keen wedge boots in the video and even walking on carpet the soles felt to hard. I went with a pair of Danner’s

ive been a diehard redwing boot guy for a long time. but ive had justins and wolverines but they didnt seem last as long. ive been kicking around buying thorogoods recently after a coworker was telling me about a pair he bought

Wolverine OVERPASS!!!!! I’ve worn about 10 different styles and brands but the overpass have been the best on rugged work terrain (Ballast)

[@demisburns4250]

I found that most 6” Keen steel toe boots are best for people with flat feet 🦶 or and foot Pain. Had 1 bad experience with a Wolverine hurting my foot so why bother to waste ur money spending Over $90

Red wing flex force boot best boot ever

[@workgearz]

I think nickboots are also great option

British Industrial Giant, moc toe, car tyre tread, only saw one pair wore them out in 4 years site work, can’t replace !!

I actually purchased that Keen Cincinnati boot that was shown several times. The outer sole rubber separated within a month. $215 and I am already tripping with them, so not my favorite. I'm still wearing my Thorogood moc toe wedge boots almost 3 years now and never had an outer sole issue and are super comfortable and fit better than sneakers. I don't think I will get them resoled though, but still deciding. I just picked up a pair of White's Perry 8" boots and I am super impressed. Got them in June 2022 during a semi-annual sale for pretty much the same price as my Thorogood boots. Guess what? Thicker leather, all leather inside the boot, no clothe or synthetics, better construction and handmade stitchdown construction. I didn't even get blisters after a 10 hour day on the first day. That shocked me the most. I will say the White's boots might become my favorite work boots, but I need more time in them. I suspect they will be more comfortable after a month than any other boot that I own.

Every pair of keens I’ve ever had was extremely comfortable but soles always bust

ok i have got to chime in on this. i run Carolinians CA8528 4 E ( make flipper jokes here ) . bottom line working with boilers and chiller i never know when i will be in ankle deep water that is charged with 480 volts. so i need the water prof and composite toe and shank. these work great with my hardware from compound fracturing my ankle. i use the thurogood insoles after 2 months to 6 weeks. and get about a year out of a pair of boots. the insoles are the key to comfort. i';m 250 lb and 265 in work gear. the insole wears out fast. replace every 2 months or so. $25.00 is cheaper than boots. replace boots when the lining or leather shows it is failing. move old boots to home use and you will get lots of years of use out of them and keep the new ones where you are on ladders, tunnel crawls, chiller cleaning, ect. think about it, you are doing home stuff for 3 hrs of an eve and 8 hrs for the weekend. you are on your feet for 8+ hrs 5+ days a week at work. also get the met guards. these cover the bits between the top of your foot and the protective toe box. 1 example below. i remember all the steel workers wearing stuff like this growing up in steel valley near PTTISBURGE. www.amazon.com/STLFLX-MetGUARDZ-Metatarsal-Protector-ProTecMet/dp/B079463CTH/ref=sxts_rp_s1_0?cv_ct_cx=metatarsal+guard&keywords=metatarsal+guard&pd_rd_i=B079463CTH&pd_rd_r=18225716-dc8c-4e79-94af-5b3b41537eaf&pd_rd_w=3SxB1&pd_rd_wg=b7ntY&pf_rd_p=dc8286ba-5f1e-4679-adde-8b7fe66c128e&pf_rd_r=G5GDNY7WNJ4KH3PR1TRW&psc=1&qid=1648519911&sr=1-1-5e1b2986-06e6-4004-a85e-73bfa3ee44fe

[@jeffreystoesser6878]

I've had good luck with Red Wing work boots

[@charliesleeseman4643]

What are your favorite pair of Keen work boots, or your favorite work boot in general?. I have the American built Keen Dover 6" which have been by far the most comfortable work boots i have ever wore. Although the yellow triangle pads started falling off within the 1st week or 2. But I didn't really feel a difference when that happened. But it was a bummer considering how much I paid for them. I am on the hunt to find some new boots. I might get the Dover again

[@commonman711]

Ariat flat wedge boot is where it's at!!!

[@boyprotin]

Got the furuian shoes on walmart a few days ago,very cheap at 39$ size 14...snug fit and I work in a warehouse setting. No slipping! Not bad for a cost effective, steel toe work wear!

[@mannybeltran7912]

My experience. Carolina Moc toe boots are the best. Comfortable. Durable and you can find them Safety Toe.

[@eddiejrbation5095]

The ones I know in the Philippines are Caterpillar and Timberlands 😅 And they ain't just for working/construction use 😂 Soon I'll buy myself a high cut one.

[@XxC1R3xX]

Timbs are for fashion not working, thorogoods, redwings and Nicks boots are some of the best

[@rootloggins3951]

Underarmor lace up boots have saved my feet knees and back.
