    On the topic of quality footwear, does anyone here know a brand of steel toe boots that don’t suck? I end up with blisters by the end of a long turnaround in my current pair and I need to replace them soon.

      Red Wing always gets my recommendation. Spend the time to find a pair that fits you really well. Instead of ever buying a new pair in the future, send in your old pair to be repaired. They can resole (in and out) them, repair linings and stitching, etc. As long as the leather itself is still in good shape. Take care of the leather on your own at home and theyll last a long time. Ive had mine over 10 years now.

      • IDK, I used to really recommend Red Wing, but I have been repeatedly told that over the last decade (I have had mine for, I think, 12 years, so not from first-hand experience) their quality has very consistently getting worse. So maybe some caution there.
