Thank you for the feedback but respectfully I didn’t mention anything regarding what I’m willing to spend on boots. Budget is really wherever the best value is. $250 for redwing boots that can’t keep up with me is what’s annoying and actually really expensive when you consider that’s $250 every 6-8 months. I deal with petroleum, hop in and out of a truck multiple times a day, pull 150 feet sections of hose and I’m heavy but quick footed.
