I ordered these boots after reading multiple positive reviews. First to mention is that I have been an avid Red Wings wearer for many years and for me to stray from my comfort zone was a risk. That being said my choices really were limited as I am a firm believer in buying made in USA products. So many of our products today made overseas readily available. I work in the American automotive industry, and on my feet all day. Safety work boots that I can count on for protection along with long last durability is what I look for. I found them with these. Everything about these boots are great. I put them on and instantly felt the comfort. I fell in love immediatly with them. Anyone that would be in the market for a nice pair of leather safety boots I would stop shopping and lay your money down here with these. You will not regret it. Spend your money where you make it, in the USA.
