Currently wearing Wolverines. I didn't think I liked them that much the first couple months, but they are getting better.
I really like the pair of Georgia boots I had before.

I am a big fan of Ariat boots.

I used to go through a pair of boots about every 6 months. The better ones would last a year. I tried Red Wings, Justins, Wolverines, Catapillars...you name it. I guess it's the way I'd walk, but the heels would always wear unevenly and I'd end up walking funny.

Then a salesman at Cavender's suggested I try the Ariat brand. I was hesitant to do so because of the price (I think they were $180), but I tried it anway. BEST BLASTED BOOTS I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!

Not only are they extremely comfortable for me, but they LAST. The pair I'm wearing right now I got for Christmas in 2002 (or maybe it was 2003). Aside from being a little dusty from my jobsite, they still look brand new. The soles are hardly worn at all...and I wear these things EVERY day of the week. I have an older pair of Ariats that I bought in 2000. The soles are still GREAT shape. I wear them if I know I'm going to be in the mud. Great boots. Ariat is the only boot I'll ever own. I have never in my life gotten this kind of mileage out of my boots.

I love my ariats they are the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. I'm on my 3rd pair right now. My last pair lasted for 2 years, and I would still be wearing them if the insides weren't worn out.

When I used to help my dad work horses I had a pair of Justin's that I always wore. If I'm going out someplace nice then I have a pair of Durangos that are barely starting to wear out after 6 years.

Wolverines. Very comfortable. Wore them for 72 hours straight the day I got them and I never had sore feet. It was awesome.

These are the most comfortable boots you will ever own, I promise.
I spent years trying every pair of boots I could from Redwings to wolverine. Nothing was comfortable and nothing lasted. I am a diesel mechanic so I need a boot that will last climbing up and down all day and take all the oil and grease that comes with the territory. I could not belive these boots when I put them on. No break in time needed, they are comfortable from day one. I still wear the first pair that I bought three years later. They are the toughest boots in the world. I will not buy any thing else after these. Red Backs from now on for me. They are a little spendy, but thats a small price to pay for happy feet.

Pair of Georgia boots, and Justin Laceups. Ive had the Georgias for well over a year, and they are like new. When I wear these out, I'll get some more like them. Waterproof too!
