[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 41961, member: 970"] Re: Best Damn Work Boots I found some "Magnum" brand boots at the Sports Authority. I was immediately drawn to them because they had a full height ankle support, yet had zippers on the side for ease of instant on and off. Also, they feature a composite toe that meets or exceeds the ANSI standards for crush resistance. Because they do not have steel in them, they are very lightweight and I've really enjoyed wearing them. The Magnums are not nearly as expensive as the good ol' Red Wings... but I decided to not bother with having to get Red Wings after my last experience with them where I paid full price for an American made pair and didn't know any better and ended up with Chinese made boots. It kind of pissed me off... I'm sure you can imagine. Anyhow, I've also had good luck with the pair of CAT boots I bought, though that first day of wearing them for 18 hours was a bit painful getting them broken in. It looks like you got a nice pair of real American Made Red Wings, which is awesome. It just drives me nuts having to lace them up every time I'm putting them on and unlacing them when I'm taking them off. I've been spoiled by the zippers on my Magnums. [/QUOTE]
