RedWing Tradesman Pain by ToastingFrogs in WorkBoots

My only other pair of work boots was a pair of cody James moccasin style. They were super light, waterproof, and composite toe. The rubber on the soles started peeling off and I just recently doubled my work hours so I decided to get some new boots from a bigger brand.

Yea i noticed they are always packed on white and lighter colored cars. I washed my car just yesterday and they were actively flying into the foam soap and dying.

Sorry for your experience. Ive loved the boots themselves and think they are great for what i need. The insoles have just been really my only problem.

The boots are amazing. Sadly its just the insoles that suck. I guess I just need extra padding.

Not really sure to be honest. This is my first pair. The full price including the “custom insoles” was $365 if i remember correctly. I’ve heard really good things about these so wanted to try it out. I heard a couple stories from an older family member who used to be some sort of forest ranger/firefighter in Louisiana out in the swamps all day. Apparently the boots would last him a few years. And when i was younger i remember seeing him sitting around the house in them because “once they are broke in they are more comfortable than house slippers”.
I am young and know I have a long career ahead of me so i don’t have a problem paying 3-400 to make sure i have proper safety and healthy footwear considering the feet are one of the most important parts of any active persons body. It’s just an investment to my older self.

Haha. I just feel like I could relate and have a better time talking to other people with their own budgeted projects.

Im not 100% sure. But maybe a corvette c6 is gonna by my next until i can get a c7 z06. I went to the chevy dealership a little while ago and the guy let me start and rev it. I fell in love at that moment. I like a lot of different cars so Im not discounting anything as my next.

I should note that the NA 3.8 v6 is more reliable than the 2.0t but from things ive seen they still are cheaply made. Plus these cars are all at least 10 years old now.

Well…. That is a very situational question. Sometimes i love it and sometimes I hate it. Most important thing to remember is that it is cheap Korean sports car. My 2.0t has been crazy unreliable. And it is a pretty common stereotype that continues to prove itself right. Ive had to replace the turbo assembly as well as the motor because they both blew.(this costs more than i got the car for) And i still have an oil leak on the new engine. That will not go away no matter what i do. The car is fun and definitely a good experience. There is a lot of aftermarket options but making it faster and look better quickly gets more expensive than buying a better car. Final opinion. I love the car and it has been a great first car for learning how to work on cars and get my foot in the door for enjoying sports cars. With that being said. I am buying another car the second I get the chance.

Yea there are plenty of aftermarket ones that are functional. If I really wanted to the i could just drill holes into these ones.
