I have a pair of Garmonts they have last me 6 months in all weather and terrain types. I'm happy with them because I wear boots out quick. My running shoes last about 8-10 weeks.
How long do your boots last

So how long do your boots last? And since im in the market any good recommendations? I don't like laces. And I don't like a big work boot sole.
Ariat are made in China. You get what you pay for.

Ram ,I have had the same experience with ariat.I made the switch to Justin several years back.I am on concrete 12 hrs a day ,in oil,and average 3 miles a day (according to iPhone).I normally get 12-18 months out of a pair.The boots will be wearable but support is gone(I'm a fatboy 275lbs).Just my experience.
Depends quite a bit how hard you use them.

Me too. I will never buy another pair of Redwings. They are NOT the same as they were a decade ago. Last pair I had had a sole separation at a little over a month, and I even work indoors. Redwing did not want to warranty them. I am done with Redwing. I hope others will be aware of the quality issues. Don't waste your money.
I thought Red Wing stores were franchised and owner would do the right thing and replace them.
If a person does blue collar type of work their employer should give them an allowance for safety shoes.
