Red Wings are a very durable brand. Loved every pair I have ever owned.

Evening Jim!

Corey I still have my first pair of red wings. Granted they are no longer the nice looking pair they used to be after beiong run through the ringer a few times and being resoled once but they still get the jopb done.

Most boots I trash very quickly but luckily my red wings have lasted longer than the rest.

Im not familiar with Rockies. The insoles in the pair of Georgia Boots went to hell after a couple months so I had to get some inserts. I may check out a pair of Rockies.

I have found that the red wigs last the longest. I am also able to get the red wings repaired alot easier then alot of the other boots out there.

There are a few shops around here that will repair boots, but it seems to be a dying art.

That it is Corey. I only have one guy in my area that does shoe repair. He does good work. He just opened a second location.

Hey guys, I got a recommendation from the military aspect of boots: Danner, Blackhawk, Rocky, Altima....I currently wear Blackhawk, very comfortable, excellent boot.

Now on to the question I have: Anybody got a flatbed trailer that can hold 6.3k lbs?

Im a fan of the Georgia boots. I have the lace ups and the romeos. Oh man the new romeos are like walkin on clouds.

What I do with the Georgia boots is wear them for a week to get the sole molded to your foot then throw in the gel souls. Between that and how the boot forms to your foot I love them.

DANGIT!!! I am in need of one to pick up my tractor....if ya'll wanna wonder why I am buying a tractor, read this thread in the IDI Forum:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...h-to-save.html

Currently narrowed it to a John Deere 2010, 46 hp at the PTO, just need to find a loader for it. I am getting it for 4,000 which is a REALLY good deal compared to what it normally would be for a tractor that size(6-9k $$)
