What's your go to boot?

[RumRunner]

I have Red Wing insulated boots for the winter. Also a pair of Rocky Pac boots for when it's really cold or deep snow. I have Bean day hikers that use when it's not cold out, they are gore-tex. Used to love Rock eliminators as a duty boot, but can't get them in 6" anymore, well I haven't checked in a few years, but they did discontinue them a while back. Have also used bates for duty boots too.

I'm wearing Red Wings these days.

Chippewa. They're expensive but I always get 4+ years out of the work boots and 6+ out of the riding boots.

 

[neum69]

My feet are 13 eeee, which is a tad limiting. Most boots that fit the foot are sloppy in the heel, or vice versa. Go-to boot was the Danner TFX GTX but they changed the last in a recent update and now those dont fit either.

I used to be a chippewa guy, they'd last me about a year each, good quality boots. just got a pair of redwings, and they're great, even better than chippewa! feet feel great in them.

Mucks for play, hunting, playing, riding, whatever they're great.

I have always been a huge fan of Danner. A bit pricey, but worth every cent. Made in 'merica too!

Not all danners are made in the USA and if you get the ones made elsewhere they tend to be of far lesser quality. That being said the USA made ones are top notch.

 

[gasaman]

I was a Red Wing logger fan for years and now I only buy American made Chippewas.

American Redwings & Chippewas. Non high heel version

 

[jkelly1229]

I've been wearing work boots for over 20 years and have yet to have a pair last more than a year. I've tried every brand out there, I'm not sure how you guys get years out of them.
I need comfort, waterproof, and I buy smooth sole so I don't track mud. I'm using Red Wing Irish Setters non insulated and they are great except on life. I'm on concrete a lot and up and down ladders, I think I walk 5 miles a day it seems.

Yeah I usually can't get a pair of anything to go longer than six months but I have some timberlands I've had for 5 years..... they don't look great but they still fit

I used to be a logger guy, still wear them on the Harley. Switched to Keen's. Hiking boot style and Safety Toed / EH rated as I need for work. Comfy, light, and waterproof. Some are USA made.

Keens are great for comfort also.

Hall's lineman. Been wearing for work and home for almost 15 years. Clunky at first, but they are more comfortable than sneakers. On the end of my second pair in 15 years and I walk my dogs for miles in them after working in them all day. http://www.hallssafety.com/catalog_boots/page3.htm

Chippewa Super Loggers for me. Most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned. Defintley heavy.. but sturdy and durable.

 

[Ink]

and let me add.....never in my life have i had a pair of boots last me more than a year. NEVER and i have tried almost all brands.
Bates M8 will go a little over but it's not a great New England weather boot (tho i have gone through 5 pairs)
Even the Danner super rain forest finally gave out and treads are nearly gone after a year (almost to the day), but by far are the best boots ive ever owned.

 

[bigblue]

I have a pair of Danner hunting boots that I have beat the crap out of and barely show any wear. I won't buy boots that aren't gore-tex because I don't like changing my footwear worrying about whether I will be going through wetlands or not.

 

[308rifleman]

I've been a red wing logger guy for some time now and considering trying a different brand this go around. So for those of you that wear loggers what's the best deal? I.e. Fit, durability and price.

..... and go!

Steel-toe Brahma is my choice. Good for all-around use. Steel toe is an advantage in places where you cannot go armed at all (airports, courthouses, federal buildings, etc.). A kick with a steel toe boot has the same impact as a blackjack.

What is it that gives out on your boots?

Are the Danners re-soleable and/or rebuildable?

 

[The Ugly]

Chippewa Arctic 50- had 4 pair over 40 yrs- best boot made!

the super logger heel is a bit much & im 6'2" anyway(but I have a pair)

I can't speak to the rest of the brands as I've only owned one pair of loggers. They're Georgia Boots and the fit is fantastic. I wear them working out back clearing the wooded areas of our land. They're my warmer weather general work boot as well. I had purchased those and a pair of Carolina loggers and wore both around the house. The Carolinas did not fit quite as well.

Both are low end boots, Red Wings and Chippewas will blow them away, I have owned all 4 brands.

A Made in USA Carolina is hardly low end it is on par with Chippewas and then some.

I hate that stupid girly heel on the Chippewa.

FYI. Danger does offer a rebuild service. They will replace the gortex lining, re-sole, repair or replace eyelets and pull hooks as needed etc.

It's there for lineman and tree guys that use gaffs.

Well then they should make versions without it. I feel like they should have open toes and be patent black leather.

 

[josh2600]

lol i hear ya, jus saying it does serve a purpose.

 

[Joker_114th]

Red Wings(only Made in America)and usually get about 2 years

 

[mwalsh9152]

I cant wear loggers anymore. I went away from them for about a year or two, and when I tried to go back to the pair that I had, my feet just wernt having it.

I always wore Chippewa's when I did though. I just threw that pair this past summer, they were 10 years old, and probably only used about 10% of their life expectancy.
