Sorry to poop on your thread I will NEVER buy a pair of redwings again. I bought a pair off our work boot truck and they said made in the USA. They lasted 3 months! Are now in shambles, with holes and leather rotting out. For the price I paid I would have expected them to last almost a year at least. I will never spend $128 again on them, I could have spent $36 on a pair of sears boots if I wanted them for three months... END RANT.
