Thorogood, Redwing, or Carolina.
I’ll challenge that pick me a Nick’s boot to be worn on concrete floors all day along with
6 inch upper
with safety toe
oil,gas and solvent resistant
EH certificate
puncture proof soles.
this boot is what the majority on this site would be looking at.
Go to their website and contact them they will custom make you a boot by hand they make hand crafted boots for the US Forest Service Smoke Jumpers. Also NFPA rated for the LA County FD. I think they could do the job.
I understand this would be the response they do not build my spec build it’s not their gig but I’ll play and call and press them for my spec build and bet if they do it would be a 1k build i will call and find out.
How is it not their gig to build a custom boot? That’s their specialty in building custom footwear.
My Dad alway told me, don't buy cheap shoes or a cheap mattress. You spend 2/3s of your life on them.

Seriously I will be calling to build this boot but tell me why they do not have it in their line up this is what 90 % wear. They might build this boot for me but I bet it comes in at 1k to build it cause they don’t want to. I posted this boot build for 250.00 built in America and don’t jump through hoops. We will see if they will build it.

I just bought a pair of Danner. I thought they were American made, but the $150 price level, which is what my company reimburses, isn’t. We have to wear steel toe boots, which drives up the cost.
As much as I want an American made boot, I just can’t justify $400. It hurts to say that. I used to be able to buy Redwings for $150. I switched to Georgia boot, but they are too hot to wear. Now I’m giving Danner a try after reading reviews On a farming forum.
Bummer this thread popped up right after my purchase, as I see more options here.
You don’t need to spend 400.0 for a USA built and all material sourced in the USA.

Yeah I’ve been on their website before and the type of boot you’re looking for (and a lot of us) isn’t something they do. Don’t get me wrong, they make a durable boot designed for certain applications, but they’re more of a lifetime boot/outdoors, logging, construction, masonry, etc, IMO.
I know people that climb ladders regularly love them. I’ve had a chimney guy explain to me that my pair of redwings wouldn’t last long with what he does. I think he had on a pair of White’s or Nick’s, and they were only a few weeks old, but you could see that they had already been severely worked. And I asked, those are only a few weeks old?? And he said, well look at what I do, I’m up and down a ladder all day, I have stone dust and cement all over them. I’m working in rain, cold, snow, mud, dirt, gravel. And I go all day. I’m kicking things and using my feet. And I’m climbing on roofs too, bending my feet and ankles. And I thought...man, I wouldn’t want your job. Then again he probably made $3,000 off me in two days.
Good to know
Only the red wing heritage line is made in America; all other boots and footwear are made in China Korea, and Vietnam. Just because it says red wing doesn’t mean it’s made in America.

Are all Red Wings made in the USA? Is Rough and Tough actually full grain leather? And how much leather is actually made at SB Foot?

Not true the 3507 is built in MN and all material is USA sourced you Should research yourself instead of posting some BS. Most Red Wing stores do not stock this boot and is special order most Red Wing stores push garbage boots built outside the USA I agree.Only the red wing heritage line is made in America; all other boots and footwear are made in China Korea, and Vietnam.
