I have had all kinds, Justin, Wolverine, Georgia, and Red Wings but they were all slip ons. I did have some Georgia Mud Dogs but they were extremely hot and they tore after a few months. I really liked my Georgia steel toes (not mud dogs), now I don't need steel toes so I have a pair of Wolverines I really like, and a pair of Danner lace-ups. They are expensive but man I really like my Danners.

What size you wear? I have some Redwings new in box. Size 11 waterproof and steel toe. I will get model in the am if you can fit in them. Sticker is $210. I'm looking to get $100, $110 delivered to Moss Bluff. My work paid for 75% that's why they are so cheap.

I wore the Doc Martin Lace up's good soles but weighed a ton. I have worn Red Wing Pecos, last a long time but I still found them on the heavy side. I bought the pair of Justins last year, they are still in great shape and feel much lighter on my feet than any of the other brands. I tired on the Ariats before I bought these my feet felt cramped in them.

....since almost everyone has a pair, what the best ways to break in a boot? i've found that tougher leathers like red wings take FOREVER to break in (the traditional way). I've heard wear 2-3 thick socks for the first couple days, but that seems uncomfortable. anyone tried wearing em in the shower?

personally, i like lace ups. they strap on tighter, and you're more agile than with slip ons. (of course if you have no need to be agile, you're gonna have slip ons)

wipe them down with mink oil and wear and repeat a few times and they will get soft, I have put a pair in the washing machine then wipe down with mink oil and it worked good. I have heard of common them with water then wearing but I don't do the wet feet thing.

x1000. I've tried all kinds of slip on boots over the years. Last pair I bought a year ago and am still wearing now was my first pair of twisted x. I love em. Doc martins weigh a metric ton. Wolverines don't last. And not as light as twisted x. I had a pair of ariats before the twisted x they were comfortable but didnt last. I weld in mine and they're exposed to all kinds of chemicals. They are still tickin. I put some miles on em. I will not own a boot other than twisted x. Now my ostriches are ariat
