Got a nap in and now keeping kids inline, it's the last day before going back to school.

Then I need to get some boots. Any suggestions?

Just talking to people here there is such a wide variety of likes it's hard to recommend. I like the Thorogoods I just got two months ago. My first go at the brand. I've also never had a pair of Carolinas that didn't serve me well. Red Wings and Wolverines are meh to me. Doc Martens are like leather *f-wording torture devices. Most folks like the sketchers/Puma/Keens athletic type stuff but I'm not sure how I'd like how they hold up. I put a LOT of miles on boots.

I was looking at the Thorogood too but my local boot place has a very limited selection. What kind do you have?
I guess I should ask this better.


Who here that works on concrete can recommend me some good boots.

If you want thorogood
https://www.thorogoodusa.com/american-heritage-6-tobacco-moc-toe-maxwear-wedge-814-4200/

I don’t work on concrete all day but I have a buddy who works road construction and he swears by these.

Hopefully I can find a shop in the big city that has a good selection. I can do the online thing. To many variables.

I work on concrete all day. I did not reccomend a specific boot because idk what style you like. Like I said, every Carolina has served me well. I wore something like this also taller.

Pretty sure that's what I have only in 8". The wedge sole, from those that have had both, makes a big difference. If you have girly ankles like me and @dall get a taller boot. If you have pampered yourself your whole life or didn't play basketball in HS lower cut boots or even shoes will be cooler. I did a year in Timberlands in a shoe style and they were real nice.

i wear these Danner Quarry

Also, Thorogoods run narrow so you'll want to put your feet in them. These are EEEs and I don't have wide feet.

Good afternoon fellas.

Depends on what you’re using them for. My dad has owned a pair of Timberlands since 1999 for working on my grandpas ranch in Wisconsin. I just got a pair of them myself and they seem to be good for general work

Lol....If his boots are lasting 22 years he isn’t doing much. I’ve probably worn out 25 pair in that time.
Which Timberlands are these super duper everlasting boots?

everyones feet is different i have wide feet and need the ankle and calf support

if you get over 20 years out of a boot you are not wearing them at all
i know guys who wear thorogoods and get 6 months out of them but then again they are hard on them i wear dan post and get 2 years but the soles are harder than the thorogoods

after this pair ill look into something different

lol my thoughts exactly

Maybe Jason is actually abigTexan. He gets so much time out of boots he just stacks his new pairs in his shop.

Only boots I have been able to get a year out of are Timberland pro Boondocks.
Wolverines last 3 months. Thorogood maybe 3-4. Carolina and Georgia are uncomfortable for me. Red Wings will last 6 months, first month pure hell until they break in.

That's the ones I would get. I need that rounded toe so glue can't pool up. Does your feet stay dry if you hose them off?

I'd probably get those if I could find a local dealer.

On them boondocks are the 6 or 8 inches.
