Ok, so I'm in the market for new boots and I'm looking for suggestions on good quality, warm, waterproof boots. I currently have a pair of Red Wings that are simply falling apart, and leak like a sieve. I've been a big fan of Red Wings after I bought my first pair about 10 years ago. BEST boots I've ever had. Super comfortable, very warm, and very durable. They lasted about 8 years and were still in pretty good shape overall (yet very worn) when I threw them out and upgraded to a pair of steel toe Red Wings. Red Wings moved production overseas now, and the quality has SERIOUSLY dropped off. My new pair only lasted about 9 months before the sole split and started to fall off. I took them back since they had a 1 year warranty on them, and they replaced them with a new pair. The new pair only lasted about 4 months before the same thing happened - the sole split right at the toe and started to come off. Now they leak water bad, which sucks bigtime when it is cold and snowy out. It snows here in PA - I NEED a warm, dry boot.
So, anyway, here is what I'm looking for: A waterproof, lace-up style boot ("clodhopper" style), of excellent quality, durability, and comfort. I'd prefer leather (I like the feel and look), and USA manufacturing (but I won't buy garbage just because it is made in USA). I'd also prefer a steel toe, just for the safety aspect (I'm a clutz, I drop a lot of stuff on my feet). MUST be insulated. Price is not a big issue to me, I make good money and I'm willing to spend more for a good product that is going to last.
Any suggestions? Personal experience?
