[john walker's workshop]

i bought their pecos boots for 25 years. when they got ugly looking, i used them at work and got a fresh set. loved those things. then they turned on me and became so hard on my feet that i went for lace up work shoes with padded inserts. still red wing, but the stitching in front came loose and the sole gaped open after two weeks, so i warrantied them and the same thing happened again. musta been the chinese ones. got a few lace up sets from snap-on which lasted long enough, but took too long to order. got dockers now. work kills shoes pretty fast, but you may as well be comfortable while they last. i'm going to order green tag shoes next. that's what the mailman wears, and he swears by them. makes sense, considering how much walking they do.
