Not FF Good deal on Red Wing boots

It is safety toe boot time again for me. Most of my boots last about 1.5-2 years before the soles are just plain shot. Well, shot for me is probably serviceable for others but the soldier in me demands that I take care of my feet.

I have a pair of Wolverines that are about 2 years old and starting to show the wear of my job. I am a big guy so the foot beds are getting shot too. I change my insoles every 6 months but the actual foot beds do lose their support. Since I do a lot of climbing up and down steps to operate our equipment I always buy something with good ankle support. I have been looking for about two months now. Found these today:

At $95 dollars off I couldn’t pass up that deal on Red Wing boots! Too bad we no longer have a local cobbler but the last one of those I talked too was more expensive than buying new. I miss the old days of getting the shoes cobbled but I got to take care of the feet.

I buy Rocky’s…

Last two pairs of Rocky’s I owned only lasted me 6 months per pair. Really disappointed me as they used to be excellent boots. Their customer service tried to help but the quality of the materials was just not good.

Better get another pair, they’re at $79.99 now :!:
