    Hello.....
    I've only ever bought Red Wings for my work boots. My last pair suddenly broke so on the 3rd I ordered another pair and was told a week to get them in. 2 weeks later I was told another week, ok I'll be patient. Today I'm told that they won't go into production for at least 2 more weeks.
    I believe it's time to part ways with them and they don't last like they used to. So that said can anyone recommend a company that can sell me a pair of size 17 eee high top steel toe tough soled booties ??
    Thanks in advance for your help !!

    Starting to wonder if red Wings come from China and they are in quarantine somewhere and they don't have the nutz to tell me.

    No specific brands, but I know from others in my family that wear XXL shoes, these guys in Sharon PA. have an excellent selection...supposedly, if they don't have it, you don't need it. (I assume you can mail order from them)

    I've been there it's nice but at same time they false advertise. Went there ;they had an ad saying they're open till xx, I get there 3 hours before closing and they tell me
    they are closing in 5 minutes. They didn't even bother with trying to make a sale. tough luck I bought them online..

    A goofy thread about lumberjack jill where boots morphed into another word similar and a less endowed woman was envying that lumberjack jill had nice "boots" :emb:

    But, she really was really cool furry boots too.
