I'm going to have to go shopping. I've worn Red Wing 2233 in a 13B for 30 years. I just called to order another pair, and they are not in the new Red Wing catalog and supposedly on "semi permanent" backorder.

I may have to spring for something made to my feet, but that's going to be a wait, and I can't wear tennis shoes to work.

My son just bought boots from some South African boot company, I guess they make a super wide width, because most EEE 's put the squeeze on his toes. He really likes them, but they aren't steel toe. "Jim Green".

I went from redwing to nicks and have not looked back my back and knees don't hurt hardly at all anymore never realized boots affected me that much

My biggest complaint about nicks is its over 6 months to get a pair of boots made one of my foreman went to a jk boot store here local and ordered a pair they said 13 weeks witch is still better than 6 months

Big trucks is what I know. HAZMAT is what I tow.
I’ve never tried a pair of Nick’s, but would like to. I don’t think a guy can go wrong with any of the PNW brands. I’ve stuck with White’s. A guy realy needs two pairs of smokejumpers to rotate out. Then, a pair of packers for Sunday best. Ok, so three pairs.

Wife bought me a pair of Harley Davidson boots years ago for my birthday. They are real "panty droppers". I haven't worn them in years.
That couldn’t have been real panty droppers or you would’ve walked right through them
