The last pair of RWs I bought were $300 I think. Lasted me from 06 to 09. They can take a beating. Anything else would be destroyed within months as far as I am concerned. Considering walking, pushing no-start vehicles across the shop lot, walking in salt-covered snow, spilling motor oil, tranny fluid, coolant on them, etc. Before I bought my first pair of RWs, I was told by a then coworker I would like them...and I do.

I buy mine from the Red Wing store in Hackensack. I think there is one at Willowbrook Mall or the West Belt Mall next door.

I ended up buying some red wing work shoes from a lil mom and pop work shoe store in morris plains. They were 130 dollars but the quality is top notch. All leather, inside and out, aluminum toe, low top, light as hell, no break in required, extra cushioning in the heel, soles dont slip EVEN on coolant! I'm sold on Red Wing at this point. They were expensive but now I know why.

my redwings (plain slip on high tops) grind the sides of my ankles, but I have big bones there (inb4 cankles)

OP, the one's you ordered look durable as hell man and will probably serve you well when winter rolls around.

When winter rolls around and we have bad weather where I can't wear a pair of my skate shoes, I'm in these, the all black pair. Bought them before that record breaking blizzard we had out here this past winter and wow, they are just unbelievably comfortable and durable. I wore them through most of the blizzard and they still look like they just came out of the box.

I was pretty weary at first about dropping that kind of money on a pair of boots from Nike but am more than satisfied with these. Not sure how they fit for you guy's with bigger feet though, I'm a 8.5-9 and they were a little too snug at first but once I started walking in them more they started to settle in nicely.

i still have my FDNY issue duty boots. actually fairly decent stuff. They don't issue these anymore. the new gear is nothing like what i had back in 2001-2005.

They still make em too. these are the same brand and almost the exact same style. all the same features though

Oh no, $200+ for a pair of good boots! Just kidding, that's what I got when I posted up my Danners. I have had good experiences with Vibram soles (used on both the Danner Acadia and those Thorogoods). Nice boots.

Ok I think it is High time i report on the comfort ect of these bad boys! working 2 jobs there are days I am in them for 17+ hours. No back,knee,ankle,or foot pain,which is a blessing seeing that I am not a small man. they are extremely comfortable and they do have a bit of insulation with the waterproof "bootie" that is built in that bootie pulls double duty by wicking away moisture and keeping water out. so no sweaty ,cold,wet feet.I told the wife that I may have to order another pair so I will have them when these wear out when the wear out a few years from now lol. Now to order the poly pros!

[BADASS2000SS]

Thorogoods are the way to go! Best boot ever!
