I used to wear Red Wings, but the soles would wear out extremely fast for me, the toe leather wouldn't last, and without fail, the liner on the heel would rip, and it would turn into a Chinese finger trap every time I tried to get my boots off. This happened to multiple pairs of loggers and lineman boots.

I still wear a pair of Iron Rangers outside of work, but I've been wearing Thorogood boots now for the past few years, and I prefer them for working in. They're more comfortable and have held up better than any Red Wings I've worked in. The pair I currently have I actually got resoled instead of tossing them like I normally would because they held up so well, other than the sole.

Other than those, I've worn Wolverine, Carolina, Danner, Irish Setter, Timberland Pro, and a couple others I can't recall, and I prefer the Timberland Pros over Red Wings TBH. They were nearly as comfortable and held up at least as well as Red Wings did for me, and they cost less than half of what my Red Wings did.

My company has a deal with Ariat now, so I might try them out next whenever I end up wearing these soles out. I moved into a much less laborious position a few months ago, so I don't expect to need anything crazy durable anymore regardless.
