1st of all you're gonna pay for a good pair. Redwings & Ariats are high but for a reason. Just bought a pair of Ariats, my second pair but they last. I put many miles on them. Ariats & Redwings are the only ones that I've had that last. I've been working construction in Chem Plants & Refineries for over 20 years, which equals alot of miles on concrete
