[AT] Work boots

[Cecil R Bearden]

Spencer:
I have had all brands over the last 50 years, and the ones I always go 
beck to are Red Wings.  They are made from USA hides and built in Red 
Wing Minnesota, by US citizens.  I use a Red Wing store here in OKC that 
is managed by a fellow who grew up in Red Wing Minn.  The guy bleeds Red 
Wing tanning fluid..   He is also a certified pedorthist.   Since I have 
to have special braces on my boots for my back injury, I go to him and 
he saves me a bunch of money on orthotic inserts.   My insurance won't 
pay for any of the braces, so this guy has really saved me a bunch.    
My Red Wings last at least 3 years, and I abuse the heck out of them....

However I'm very disappointed in them and in fact been disappointed in my last two or three.   The last boot that did well for me was actually a Vasque hiking boot, and lasted for years. But they don't make that kind anymore.
