looking for good work boots

Submitted by xxxDarkTidexxx t3_10zumka in BuyItForLife

Need a recommendation on work boots that will last for a decent amount of time, I am a welder and I often do repairs in the field, getting fed up of buying a $200+ pair of boots that won't make it a year

Unlimited budget- probably Nick's or White's. Otherwise watch a lot of Rose Anvil videos on YouTube and make your own decision with your budget.

I like cebu Labradors. $65. Hold up to mig welding, grinding, blasting, and out and about while it's snowing.

  1. Visit Red Wing store.
  2. Get measured and fitted as you likely don't know your real size.
  3. Ask for boot options that are recraftable and feature the sole that best suits your job and waterproof if needed.

Bonus points for getting 2 identical pair and rotating the every other day.

Redwing 2412 or 2414s. The hold up in the shit hole I work in. Make sure to get the redwing boot grease. I had some stitching repaired a couple years ago and they are still going strong. Offer EEE sizes
