Good set of work boots?

What do you guys use? (for those who need them for work) I've been reading about the Red Wing's. Need something I can wear 40-50 hours a week without killing my feet.

Red Wings are great. The break in on them is hell, but once thats over they are great. I like the Lacrosse boots I have as well. Justin work boots are nice, but they get less and less comfortable as time goes on.

I have Georgia boots right now. Pretty nice.

Before that I had Dr. Martin Ti tip and those were LIGHT!

I had to get the Georgia because I needed meta covers.

i was a tradesman for 4 years leading up to about 2 months ago (now im in the office of the same construction company) I promise you, if you spend the money on redwings you will not be disapointed. my dad has been a union concrete finisher here in chicago for years and always told me if you buy one quality piece of work equiptment, make sure its your shoes. i tested his theory by using some wallmart specials for about a week. lets just say by friday i was like "**** that, wheres the redwing store" my dad has used them all his life and i used them almost 4 years. there expensive as hell but boy are they worth it. take it for what its worth...

those are optional, but the OP clearly only asked about shoes.

I would recommend Docs, Red Wings or Justin. Tried them all and the Docs broke in the easiest, but don't last quite as long as the other two.

Ariat boots are the best that I've found, switched from redwings couple years ago.

I have the Dr Marten lace up industrial steel toe

Comfort is great and I can wear em out, well not as much seeing as they have been beat up last month

My current pair of Ariat work boots I've worn as work boots daily working on the farm and in the shop for ~4years and they are also worn as my daily shoe.

I wear Red Wing's and really like them. But the most comfortable boots ive worn are the Oakley boots. I just wear the Red Wings because my job payed for them and they need to have the safety toe.

I wear Carolina Boots with a Steel Toe and Internal Met-Guard to work.

Most Comfortable Boots I have ever worn. I would much rather wear them, than some of my other tennis shoes.
