Where's all the Southern guys .... noticing a trend here \ that is interesting VA, TX and MO the only south to weigh in on boots GA and NC weighed in on getting the boss or tax deduction to buy them what do other guys on the boats you're on wear? the guys who have been at it a bunch of years?
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I used to wear 6" Redwings all the time. The last pair I bought, I couldn't break in. They're like wearing a concrete block. I tried and tried to make them wearable. No dice. They have been setting in the corner for years now. Every once in a while I'll get them out but just can't wear them for very long.

The Redwing 402's I've been buying for about thirty years now definitely have a break-in period. You wouldn't want to wear them a whole day at work right out of the box, your feet would be pretty sore if you did.
I get new ones while my old ones still have some life left in them. Then I wear the new ones a few hours at a time until they start to break in.
Eh...wot?

I thought that might be what you meant. That model Redwing is not a steel-toed boot.
I used to do quite a bit of roofing while wearing those boots. They have a softer sole that is pretty grippy.
They would probably not hold up well on the non-skid boat decks Wolf has to walk on.
The gorilla guards keep the toes from wearing through, even when being abraded by shingles.
Eh...wot?
