The Red Wings should hold up if they are in good condition to begin with.

I'm a little funny about wearing used boots, but that's just me. I know you can get a cheap pair at Walmart just to get by until you get a paycheck or two. Then like Chet said, the Red Wings are very good boots.

I had a very wise and intelligent senior inspector tell me once, when I young and complaining about my new work boots, if they don't fit and feel good when you try them on don't buy them. You have enough other issues to focus on than sore feet because your boots need broke in. Since then I never buy a pair of boots that aren't confortable when I try them on. And my feet never hurt and I feel I do a better job because I'm not distracted. I don't care what the price is, if they feel good when I try them on and I can afford them they are mine!

Carpe Diem,

Mt favorite boots are Wolverine Durashocks, soft and comfy right out of the box and they last me years of everyday wear. Might seem pricy at first ($120?) but for 2 years of warm dry painfree feet its cheap. As posted above, you have enough distractions, get good boots.

I also have wolverine's. Best pair of boots I have ever had. Do not remember what " Type" But I got mine at a place called DSW. Paid 40 bucks for them. Last pair other wise I would have bought a second. But I can understand his point about waiting to get paid. When I first needed a pair of Steel toe's I had to get a pair from Wally World for 20 bucks. Still have them, but never wear them. But they did what I needed, and worked fine until I found my current pair.
