Boots
Looking at getting some new riding boots. I like a harness/engineer style boot. Looking at tcx boots and red wing as my top two choices as of now. Need waterproof boots both have good ratings online. Both come with a good price tag around 250 for both sets. One advantage is I have a red wing store about 2 hours away so would be able to make a trip and get good fitting. No tcx boot dealers within 4 hours that I can find so would have to roll the dice on fitting. Just looing for any suggestions on either boot or maybe another option. Thanks

red wing used to be a good boot and probably a great place to work since they got raises regularly with increase of price. home style company but they are NOT anymore. sad but the quality is down so much, i would not buy them, there are china made now. i worked the oilfields and rode with the same boots and they would last five years easily but now, on a 7/7 schedule, two years the tops.

No offense but wherever you took those boots to was just trying to rip you off and con you into buying new boots. If it had a Goodyear welt then the style of boot is irrelevant. It’s as simple as removing the sole and putting a new vibram on. That’s like saying you gotta buy a new truck cause we’re all out of Michelin tires for your vehicle......
