Yep, that's the look I go for .... a little boot polish, brush them out, and use some edge dressing for the sole edge, and I'm set.

Three generations HAND made work boots.

They don't come cheap, but well worth it.

Work Boots - Viberg Boots

I buy what ever fits and is comfortable. I have wide EEE feet and shoes of any kind are hard to come by. My last ones were Redwing and I can't say they were the best because of fit. I had to go longer to get the width. I just replaced them with a pair of Wolverines and they fit perfect.

Expensive, but worth it in the long run. Rebuildable, built to actually fit, etc.

White's, Hathorn, Viberg, Wesco, etc...the list goes on but the one thing they all have in common, besides a high price, is very high quality.

yes, you do!

get in contact with them.

I was spending 200 bucks every 10 months on "good" work boots. 3 years is 700 bucks.

1 pair of the customs will run you 350 and last for 3 + years. These boots make store bought boots look and feel like ****.

I dont doubt that for a minute. In the past, Ive paid $330 for Red Wings that wernt worth a crap. I would need a steel toe although I would prefer not to have one.
