Work boots

[jdb]

I’ve worn keen Pittsburgh for a number of years. They’re a good boot, I’ve got flat feet and I’ve suffered from plantar fasciitis in the past so I have to be careful with my feet and the keens work well for the me but they’re kind of expensive. I’m wondering what everyone else wears?

I've had good luck with the thorogood American heritage boot.

I got flat feet and work on concrete all day. I wear a danner bullrun wedge sole. They’re a strait leather boot which helps if your feet get hot but ain’t worth a damn if it’s wet out.

What kind of work do you do? Indoor, flat surfaces? Outdoor in the elements? I had a pair of Cat (like the heavy equipment) fabricators boots that were great for all around indoor/outdoor use. Though they are meant for hard flat surfaces. I'm in a pair of Georgia Athens I bought on a budget currently. They have been solid though, comfy and dry.

Redwings for the past 10 years. Great boots and customer service. Some of there boots can be rebuilt.

I second the Red Wings. Wear them every day.

Danner super rainforest, out in the muck and mud most days and with a little maintenance I get two to three years of solid use at work and the woods out of them. Pretty much all ive used on my feet for the past 15 years. Not cheap though.

If the keens work don't switch up even if pricey. With having foot issues myself it took me years of going through different boots before I found one that works for me. I personally wear nothing but danners. They have a 1 year guarantee and I beat the crap out of them. Dont change what works, ESPECIALLY with having problems with your feet.

I rotate daily between Nicks & Whites...

If you have feet issues don't go cheaper. At $185 these are at the lower end of what some would call expensive boots. Every reply in this thread so far is more expensive. As the old saying goes you spend 90% of your life on you feet or on your back. Invest heavily in a good mattress and good boots. It might seem insane, and could just be plain ol' out of reach, but if you can go custom/rebuildable your feet and back will thank you. C-Money mentioned Nick's and Whites. JK Boot and Wesco are a couple other PNW options. They'll set you back $500-$500, but (after break in) will be the most comfortable boot you've owned. Will be custom built to your foot, and will be rebuildable. Long term, cost of ownership comes out cheaper.

I wear the Danner Kinetic gtx everyday at work and love them. I walk 6-7 miles a day inside and outside at work in rain and snow with no issues. Great boot for around $150!!
