Chippewa Loggers. It took me 5 years to break mine in and then the damn dog took one of them out. I am on year 2 of breaking in the next pair.

$100 boots

What do you expect from $100 boots

Construction worker boots are the best quality-wise. Design-wise, well, you do look like a construction worker, but this is not a thing to be ashamed of.

I have a pair of bates, pretty comfortable and well built. If I had to go with steel toe boots I would pick Red Wings though.

SHOCK, I've worn USMC issues for a good number of years and never realized that they had a labeled brand name, (BATES).

ANd I never knew that the boots I got for free whenever I needed a pair ... were so damn expensive.

My originals held water like a pond and it wasn't until we got to Nam when we got a new issue that let the water out.

Were you issued the boots with the webbing on the sides? Do they even still make them kind today?

I gotta check the web and get a new pair for old times sake.

Semper fi, Shock! Semper Fi!

The BEST boots hands down - but pricey - are White's, Nick's, Wesco, Viberg or Drew's - they are all pretty much the same, some have a higher arch or minor differences, but you CAN'T go wrong with any of them - but PRICEY !

I have never killed a pair of Red Wings. Great boots!

Red Wings. If you can find a local dealer, buy them there. They take very good care of you and the boots you buy, making sure of a good fit. Even oil them up, from time to time, for you. Any flaw in the workmanship, will replace with no questions asked.

A friend use to do heavy squat workouts in his army boots (Zipper on the sides airborne boots) and really liked them. Also regular GI issue boots would also be good for heavy squatting.
