I have worn timberland, wolverines, and cat boots, They all lasted 6 months or less before they were junk. I am trying a pair of red wing boots now. They are very light and have a composite toe, comfort is ok at best. I will be adding a set of gell work inserts. They don't last long in the chemicals I work in. eats the leather up and wears the toes off when we have to do confined space entries.
