Work Boots

[balls_to_the_wall]

I use to wear Redwing, and now I wear Ariat, I like them, they are the most comfortabe footwear I have ever owned. Also, I saw somewhere that instead of the "steel" toe, some companies are now going to a composite carbon fiber like toe that is supposed to be stronger. It also has the advantage that it can't cut your toe off if something to heavy falls on it. I don't remember where I saw that though
