Need boot reccomendations, Daily wear,SHF ready?

I've worn Danners almost exclusively for ~5 years now. I wear the USAF TFX safety-toe (made offshore) daily at work, and a pair of temperate Acadias (US-made) outside of work.

I bought redwings for this purpose.

Chippewa Briar Bison 6"

Try these:



They are waterproof, extremely light and very soft and comfortable. They are durable too, though the laces wear out pretty quick. I have heavier, insulated boots for the cold weather but you can't beat these for everyday wear.

Meant to mention they run 1/2 size too big.

Altema EXO speed II.....light weight, however they provide stability, you can get them in black, tan, or sage green.

I took a trip to the red wing store in Natick this morning to check them out. Ended up leaving with a pair of 2406 Product Detail

Was sold on the resole program and made in the USA, seems like some top quality leather and the supersole looks promising. Time will tell

So 6 months later... These are hands down the best boots i have ever worn. That super sole is wearing less than anything I've used on pavement. The leather is a bit soft and cuts easy but after regular conditioning it toughened up. Will buy again for sure.

Super high quality and they feel great. I wear them every day. I put some oil on them and they're good to go.

I took a gamble and bought a pair of Converse C8895 duty boots--I was shocked and the comfort and fit. I'm office bound most days but spend a fair amount of time outdoors off hours and they haven't let me down yet. Bought them from eBay dealer BoTach (they have a standard web presence too) and a) paid almost half of Amazon pricing and b) had zero issues with the transaction. I'll be buying another pair--here's a link:

Good luck--gotta protect those feet!

I wear these for work, composite toe version that is also EH rated. So far so good. I believe Reebok has the contract to make these now.

If you don't need a safety toe the i would get the LL Bean Cresta Hikers. Solid boots. Add a pair of gaiters and you should be able to handle anything just by changing your type of socks.
