[QUOTE="Roy14, post: 3705112, member: 41855"] LL Bean makes a good boot. I think for that style Schnee’s is a little better built. If you want boots that will truly last a couple of decades, skip Red Wing and look at Nick’s Handmade Boots out of Spokane. Hand lasted, custom made to your feet, completely rebuildable. 40 hour break in period but after that they’re good to be worn 18 hours a day without pain (in most cases). Because they’re rebuildable, in the long run they won’t cost you any more than normal work boots. In the short run, they’ll demolish your wallet. If you want comfort and a good price Merrell is a good place to start. Swap out their junk innersole before you wear them. I’ve picked up their hikers on sale for ~$60 and they last a couple years before they finally just fall off my feet. If you’ve done any reading into barefoot zero drop shoes and think it might solve some knee/back pain etc, I’d look at Lem’s Waterproof Boulder Boot. They will probably be my next purchase to see if it will help me as much as it has some of my friends. Anxynt also makes what amounts to zeros drop barefoot shoes - they’re hand made moccasins meant for hunting. Any cobbler can resole them. [/QUOTE]
