    Red Wing is expensive but I’ve put thousands of miles on mine. The tarsal guard saved my foot when someone (fuck you Brent) set a 6000lb pallet down on it while I was trying to undo his stupid fucking knot that he tied in the ratchet strap for God knows what reason. I have another pair that’s just safety toe and they are my favorite pair of shoes.

      Didn’t Red Wing move most of their boot manufacturing to China? They’ve got one or two lines still made in Red Wing MN but iirc it’s mostly China now.
