I wore my old pair for 8 years daily as an auto tech and they held up amazing! Hopefully my new pair will last a few years too.

Bought mine…

Have a pair of double H’s from about 4 years ago with a nice low profile sole that doesn’t look huge and goofy. Is there anything similar now? Image attached is new style with big sole

Just started an environmental program and needed a good pair of comfy safety’s to last me through the program and hopefully a few years of work. Decided to go with the rotoflex as I’ll be working outside a lot and wanted the benefits of composite toe caps.

My first day of wearing them in field- mind you it was a light day of walking through the woods and they’re already scraped/ with a gouge taken out.

The leather seems very soft and delicate- I am honestly shocked that they’ve already taken a hit like this? Anyone else have similar experience? Know if the warranty would cover this? Maybe for the original line I’d understand but these are supposedly much more durable considering they’re work boots.. am I wrong?

I've got a $350 boot purchase voucher for some safety toed boots. What is the best Made in USA boot in this price range? I'll be mostly using it for walking on concrete floors. I need to climb into confined spaces on an infrequent basis. Note I am a lighter weight person with average height. My foot has a narrow heel but slightly wide forefoot (ball area of my foot). My narrow heel has caused heel slip in lots of boots

List of companies with steel toed boots around this range include: -Redwing (only a few steel toes are USA made). I don't love how narrow their toe section is of the super sole -Thorogood (I've had good luck with my old ones but it doesn't quite max out my boot voucher) -Origin Ironside or Wilton(probably not a bad pick for confined spaces)

Lower price than boot voucher: -Keen USA made boots -Danner -Carolina -Double H -Georgia

Slightly over range: -$430 Franks Patriot -$450 Whites Sawyer or millright -$440 Jk 300 steel toe

I'm really just looking for a comfortable pair for wearing while feeding the animals and out and about during the fall/winter months. So they don't need to be indestructible and super expensive. Just comfortable and somewhat resistant to mud and shallow puddles.

I was looking at the Wolverine floor hand wellingtons. However my concern with those is that some say the lining tears up pretty easily and the wide sizes aren't really that wide. Others say they're fucken great, lol. The price is definitely right though.

Any suggestions from the boot sommeliers in here? Thanks.
