I've been listening to this podcast about work boots. "The Stitchdown Shoe Cast." That and a YouTuber who cuts boots in half to study how they are constructed.
And I got hooked. Most of these boots are made in the USA and the leather used is usually of good quality, much like the leather holsters of @Bob Wright
So I bought a pair of boots. Redwing Mock Toe's. They are about a month old now and still need broken in a bit more, but they are incredibly comfortable.
I lnow people here have written about cowboy boots, but what about work boots? There are quite a few brands all made in America. It seems many of them are in the Pacific Northwest.
Here are the Redwing Mock Toes the day I bought them.
They have a layer of cork under the insole. That layer molds to your foot which makes them uber comfortable. This model doesn't have a shank either. The Redwing Iron Ranger does for example. The shank makes them more stiff and more of a work boot.
I got these to walk the dogs and just put some miles on them. I think they are going to do the job pretty great.
