good steel toe work boots
Right now I have a pair of brahma steel toed work boots. when I work for my uncle doing constuction for 10 hours a day for feet start to hurt. I was wondering what kind you would reccommend. My uncle wears Red Wing boots. He says a pair will last him a while and they are comfortable. I plan on spending a maximum of $150

I'm probaly going to buy some in may. I finish he school year and am going to be working with him all summer so I want some nice comfortable boots. The ones I have now are ok as long as you are not standing or walking for a long time.

I never could get used to my redwings. I wore the soles out cuz I hate to throw out anything with any use in it still, but I didn't like them.
For me the cheap boots are the only things I find comfortable. That and the expensive ones don't last enough longer to pay for themselves.

I guess I'm gonna be the odd one out. I got a pair of Red Wings for wildland firefighting. They didn't last me even one season. I was a little dissapointed. I have a pair of Danners that I've had almost three years now. When they wear out, i'm gonna go with White's.
As for Steel Toed boots, the best pair I had were a pair of Cats (Caterpillar) They lasted me for years.
