    I wear Redwings 8 hours a day. They're comfy for me and I have a tool belt around me that weighs 10-15 pounds at times. Just get fitted up properly.
    Don't bother me. I'm wasting potential.
    Life's a grave, dig it.

    Re: ..In need of a GOOD work shoe/boot..

    I have had both Red Wings and Wolverines and I like the Wolverines much better. But you need to make sure you get the Dura-Shock work boot. Not only have I liked them better, but the customer service at Wolverine is top notch. I had a pair of Wolverine Dura Shocks that were going on 3 years old. I started to notice the blue part of the Dura shock soul started to become gooey soft and chunks were peeling off the shoe. I called Worlverine and explained what was happening. I was hoping for some sort of discount voucher or something. They then e-mailed me a form to fill out and told me to mail my shoes to them. Less then 2 weeks later I got a call from Wolverine and they told me they were mailing me a new pair of shoes, and asked if I wanted the same color or a different color then what I had. A few days later and new pair of shoes were on my doorstep. Almost 3 year old shoes and they warranted them. Besides being comfortable their service has sold me on being a long time customer.

    I have pretty high arches in my feet.. as much as I like skate shoes, the flat souls suck. Most comfy pair of shoes I've had are also the ugliest lol. Asics Gel.

    Adam,
    Try Redback boots. Super feet insoles are the best for your back also.
