Red wings here too I wanted hd boots but they just didnt feel right.I wear red wing work boots so I gave their mc boots a try .So far they are very comfortable.Mine have a zipper up the side.

 

I know what you mean about the red wings i have been wearing them for 20 plus years at work and iam currently riding in a pair of the pull on ones love there boots.

 

Had Rivers.&nbsp\\; Lasted 3 years then heel blew out.&nbsp\\; Got to be really comfortable.&nbsp\\; Given the price, I think they are a good value.

 

Red Wing, Chippewa, Double H, as long as they're the American-Made styles, or Wesco if money is no object.

 

Doc Martins, ten hole steel toes. They last for years, gotta love em.&nbsp\\;

 

I've used a pair of Red Wings logger boots for the last eighteen years. They are comfortible and won't come off in an accident. Below is a link for more information:

Below is what a lot of loggers here in Oregon use. I have a pair of them also for hunting etc. They are fine for riding and fine for hiking in dirt.

 

 

Cant post. those are model 4418. Negs are hard to walk on pavement all day and soles pick up lots of mud. Great in the dirt.

 

+1 on the Double H Boots. Made in the USA
