For years I've been wearing Durango Harness Boots. Nice thick soles and great protection. Made in the USA and if you shop they can be had for under $125

 

I just replaced a pair of Harley boots that I had for almost 8 years and almost 40K miles. Aside from a broken heal held on with sheet rock screws for the last 3 months, they held up incredibly well. The pair I had before were another brand I can't remember, but they only lasted a couple years. everyone is different so use what you are comfortable with.


To the original poster, thanks for the information.

 

Those red wing iron ranger are nice boots. I have thought a few times of getting those...I have been resoling my red wing iron workers

 

Take a look at Sierra trading post. They usually have pretty good deals online
