I have been using Oakley Standard Issue duty boots. Very comfortable, pretty durable, and they look good too.

most of the time i'm riding with my red wing beckman boots. i can wear them to ride, with my fancypants attire, and on casual days. just break them in a bit and they'll probably be the last pair of boots you own. you can re-sole with vibram bottoms for awesomeness.

As long as they match your purse, doesn't matter...

Many Irish Setter boots are made in the USA. Conversely, some Redwing branded boots are made overseas. Depends on the boot, and often the price.
Irish Setter is the same quality and standards as the Redwing branded boots.

Wolverine is a brand that is not associated with Redwing Shoe in any way, it's actually a competitor.

I like the old military "canvas" sided (nylon) jungle boots. Lug sole, very light, dries fast, can still stomp with them, and ya can run in them if ya have to.
