    I'm a big fan of the timberland pro. I found their boots to be quite comfortable, and would stand up to good abuse. I used to work with acid, and found that's they lasted the longest. I could get a year out of them.

    When I got a promotion, I ended up switching to Timberland oxfords with a safety toe for when I visit customers sites that require them. Even more comfortable than the boots!

    Yep. Amazon rocks. Last 2 pairs of Danners I bought from Amazon were cheaper than anywhere else on the web.

    I have had a few pairs of Keens over the years. For the most part I've had good luck with all of them.

    The best part I have liked most is the toe box, they seem to have a little more room than a typical boot.

    Used the "MADE IN THE USA "
    Keen Braddock Steel toe for the 2017 wood cutting adventure.
    Held up well,
    Were warm on every day but the 9° morning (but it warmed up & had no problems)
    Tough & comfortable, easy on & off.
    good ankle support & good toe room.
    Sole did well in the woods
    Hope to get several years out of them :yes:

    Sounds good but the steel toe is no doubt why they weren't so good on the cold morning. I won't buy steel toed boots or shoes but very well may try those if they make them without the steel toe.

    I went searching for a boot thread! I fit a lot of off the shelf and custom made boots. I recommend keen and lowa a lot, as well as selected carolina, thorogood, and redwing/irish setter/vasque.
    Personally I wear a black us made carolina logger model 922 for cutting, a brown lace to toe Danner trophy custom build as a backup(thats 7 years old), a timberland pro as another backup, generic china made camo waterproof 10" boot for hunting, couple pairs of ariat pull on boots from when I ran a farm and a brown suede Lowa renegade gtx mid as a daily boot.
    I will absolutely buy another carolina (us made only) or a chippewa. Really disappointed in danners service as of late. Might look into whites, nicks, etc. as i fit a lot at work, but just overkill for my needs. There are a LOT of great boots out there.

    I've spent the bulk of my adult life in Whites, Wesco, Buffalo, HiLine, Currins, and Viberg. When I wasn't wearing a high quality pair of corks ( see above) I wore Xtra Tuff's ( Ketchikan sneakers) or Nike sneakers. . Now that I'm not making my living in the rain forests of Alaska I wear mostly rubber sole White Vibrant soles Loggers and Smoke Jumpers and before that Viberg steel toed 148 .
    My Viberg 105 T are my all time favorite pair of cork shoes.
    This summer I got a pair of Keen Detroit boots for driving truck . they have been ok.
