If you can afford them Red wing is the way to go. I've worn many pairs of shitty boots, that's probably half the reason I walk funny now. I can't wait to get myself a pair of $200+ Red wings. It's not that much compared to what some of these people pay for the dunks and whatever vintage sneakers we wore as kids.

Yay! Ariat made the list!
My pillow slippers❤ I'M RETIRED😂😂😂😂
🤣
Red wings are really good timberland is good too. I wanna say georgia boots are the most comfortable ive owned. I hope all these welders go union!!
Every welder knows that the more comfortable you are the smoother the beads get 😎
Georgia boots
Wings are the best
Depending on what conditions I’m in, I wear Ariat Boots, Carolina Work Boots, Wolverines, and Justin. I only have one pair of steel toe boots from Timberland. I do however prefer my Carolina boots since they are very comfortable for me and are not too heavy.
I wear Chippewa and there pretty comfortable
Blundstones all day! Most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn and stand up to whatever I throw at them
I wear justins everyday most comfortable pair of boots ive ever put on my feet trick is to get the right size. Ive had this current pair for about 4 years. Everytime they start to look a little rough i just hit em with some saddle soap and good as new that said the leather is starting to wear in certain spots im dreading having to get new ones and break them in.
45 years of Painting and RedWings are always my go to boots . With a couple coats of latex they last forever
Nothing better than ariat.
Kenetrek by far the best boot ive ever worn. Ive tried just about every boot out there.
Timberland pro’s are top tier for sure
Under rated boot
Damn I wore mine out but really believed they were great was bout to get a pair of Redwings but I'm getting the pros again
Which timberland model?
Just picked up a pair of Danner boots. Not bad so far, would recommend for sure
I love my danner elk hunters
Redwings!
Timberland pros are great (for the price) in my opinion.
Red Wing all day!! Come see us up in Casper or Cheyenne. We also do some minor boot servicing as well. Keep on doing great things 👍🏻
Red wing on top
I rotate between Timberland Pro, Danner and Irish Setters. Work maintenance walking 15+ miles a day
Thorough Goods feel broke in soon as you put them on but they can’t cheap
Ariat heritage ropers are some of the most comfortable work boots I’ve owned after ariat venttek cowhands
I wore timberland pros. Went to buy replacement boots and the specific timberland pros were not in stock. So I got Ariats. They were not as comfortable as my 2 year old worn out timberland pros.
🥲
I always loved my Timberlands but they are almost always hard to find.
@@wesman7837 yes they are!
Red wing is the best hands down!!
Ariat ramblers are amazing boot and I’m surprised that some welders are not using them
Red wings will last a lifetime, best option for any work boot
I rotate between ariats ,twisted x mocs ,thorogood and whites it just depends what type work I'll be doing for the day
Plenty of choices
iv been wearing and buying the same justin steel toes for years and i feel that last dudes "as comfortable as iv got em" big time
Bro said airyaut😂
😂 Just let it go man
RedBacks! Easy escape steel toe
my foot has never been comfortable in an ariat boot
Thorogoods are where it's at.
thoroughgood's aren't that comfortable is boot I've owned I don't know how many sets of them but what they do offer is the ultimate foot protection when you eat dum dum for lunch and drop in 1800 lb Beam on your foot you get to keep your toes
Thoroughgood steel toes kinda cut the sides of my feet after the leather stretched on the sides and peices of something was coming out of them
@@EliasTheUnusualI've only had one pair. I have the moccasin toe electrical rated steel toe. Great boots, feel good
Sure if you like a $250 boot thats wore out after 9 months. Then they wont stand behind their product and will try to upsale you again with a $90 resole.
My buddy swears by them. Never owned a pair personally. Might have to try them out since now the closest Redwing dealer is over an hour and a half away.
My grandpa started me out as an apprentice back in the 60s I can remember that old Lincoln he had and him standing there in his house slippers he never wore boots in the shop
Cool....you interviewed Morgan Wallen
Red wing Irish setters. Bought em used and lasted me another 10 yrs.
Rocky
I wore Justins for 12 years and still do to thus day
Tony Lama Mens Junction steel toe. The best Western style work boot. Dang comfy too and they even come in extra wide sizes for big boys.
The lack of little American flags on these people boots is unnerving. Thorogood ALL DAY!
I see all these false prophet boots get mentions but no one mentions the actual messiah of workman's boots: Moc toe Thorogoods Favorite of ironworkers and riggers everywhere
Hell ya my man wearing the justins 😂
Twisted X
👌
I have steel toes red back made in Australia 😅 super light and comfortable
When he asked what kind of boots the guy was wearing, I fully expected him to say one two buckle my shoe…
Lol maybe one day
When the steel starts to show through, you need to weld the toes together & set em back in front of the dudes locker. Funniest thing in the world- watching a guy try to grind his boots apart before the bell rings. Btw, I bought a pair of Franks Patriot about a year ago, the best boots Ive ever owned & Ive been welding for 35 years.
Red Wings hands down. I tried the Tim’s and other expensive boots but for me nothing beats the Red Wing.
Smokejumpers
Thorogood
I’ve currently got a par of Justin’s and I totally agree with that guy they’re not comfy the inside just falls apart once your feet start sweating in them
Damn, I’m still rocking boots with heels on 😂
No shame in that
Thorogood boots are the best, welder and carpenter here and once I bought a pair I never bought any other brand again
I've worn tons of different brands in my 15 years of welding, and I personally will never wear anything but Keens.
Red Wings are awesome. No arguing there. Just suprised no one mentioned the Brunt’s Got me a pair and have been throughly surprised. They are my go-to pair lately. 🇺🇸👍
Brunts are made in China
🙌🏻
Kenetreks haha wearing mountaineering boots in a welding shop.
I love my composite ariats
Red Wings are the best
The Keen Cincinnati boots are pretty interesting. Just in case you wanted a moctober suggestion
Thanks for that!
I’m still trying to figure out “as comfortable as I’ve gotten ‘em”. He’s hostile, he’s wearing a small size it’s causing pain
Glad I’m not the only to say Air-E-It, Ariat 👍
Twisted x are the boots to go. Very comfortable. I just bought me my third pair couple days ago
Twisted X is THE boot.
Thinking about getting some driving mocs for walking...what you think?
I WEAR A TERRA WELDING BOOT WITH MET GUARD. 🙏
The Rank 45's look nice.
Red Wings are incredibly comfortable once they break in. I can wear them for 12 hours no problem.
Ive had red wings and Ariat for work, and i made the switch to Timberland pros the most comfortable and slip resistant boot
Wolverine hellcats are my choice of workbook had redwings but are a bit heavy
Keens all the way
Thorogoods 8” lace ups wedge sole
JK O.T. Boots are some of the best.
It's sad how many people will never know the glory of JK boots
Only one honest fella here. Anyone who works on their feet all day knows damn well there’s almost no such thing as comfortable enough to be called comfortable. Feet are gonna hurt the same no matter what after you been on em for 12+ hours
Twisted x is not comfortable 😂 but I love them
Just got a pair of rank 45s. Second most comfortable pair I've ever put my foot in
Carolina all day. The overtime insoles are comfortable as hell it made a huge difference in me getting tired on my feet at work. I was able to not feel the concrete as bad.
😮
