Redwings have always been my choice.

The best I have ever found are Georgia Boots. The composite toe and insulated. I work mostly outside for the power company. No issues. Wear them every day for work and get two to three years out of a pair before the soles start to get where out. Never had any upper issues or split soles. On my fourth pair. Tried all the rest and never had one really comfortable for me until I started using Georgia. I work with some guys who swear by Redwing as well.

Timberland has been the only boot I have worn in the last 15 years. My current pair are 3 years old and still have life. Strongly consider composite toes, not nearly as cold in the winter. Had 1 pair of Redwings, hated them. Got rid of them after less than 6 months.

I like sketchers steel toe work shoes. They are comfortable,like tennis shoes.

The only way to go.

I'll let you know on Friday. I have some Danner safety toe boots on the way.

I do road construction, been running timberland great boot. But my company didn’t offer them this year. I went with Georgia. I do know in my line of work, glued soles don’t hold up.

Wore redwing when I worked in the mine. But wear thorogood now in the factory and they are pretty comfortable

X3 on Carolina boots. I wear CA5520's These boots have a nice broad toe so your toesies won't get all crunched up. Steel toes are notorious for rubbing on your toes some wear and I can't stand that.
My little pigs need room!

Love wearing Keen footwear. Currently on my third pair of their steel toed Detroit models that weigh in at 1#8oz per boot. Order online from Zappos, any issues send back on their $.

I'm wearing wolverines with custom othotics. With all the basketball I've officiated, sometimes 10 or 11 games a day, and working on my feet, if I didn't have the orthotics in my boots and sports shoes my feet wouldn't be able to touch the floor at the end of the day without pain.

Years ago when I was still working we had a Mason shoe dealer working with us. I bought a pair of steel-toed work boots from him and they were comfortable.

Been wearing danners but might try the Irish setters . 55 hours + week in concrete.

I would vote for these right here. I don't wear the steel to model but have had 2 pair of the regular moc toe with the wedge sole and they are great. First pair lasted 5 years and I flooded them twice. Second pair is on year 3. They are very comfortable and the sole wears like iron. I clean and oil mine with a mink oil about once a month.

I've worn quite a few brands over the years. This past winter I ordered a pair of Duluth Trading Company "Grindstone" composite toe 6" and they are without a doubt the most comfortable boots right out of the box I have ever worn. They are waterproof and seem to be well made. About $140 bucks a pair, only had them a couple months so will see how they hold up.

Danners. Pricetag stings, but made in the USA and of the highest quality.

I have work in a plant environment roughly 10 acres under roof with 25 more outside. Serving the whole plant I typically walk it multiple times a day for 12 hour shifts. My company pays for boots and every two years and over the last 20 years the only boot I have worn that did not require any insole replacement prior to the 2 years was my current set of Georgia’s. They were spendy but over 3 years in they are just now getting to the point of needing insoles.
