I have double wide feet so I buy New Balance online:
New Balance Outlet Shoe Store
I have Red Wing work boots. They just don't get it. I have wide, thin top to bottom feet. Like 5D.

What I do is buy the $160 made in America (critical) New Balance 1540 V2 AND put the $40 Red Wing inserts in them. They change the model number every couple of years so whatever costs 160+ AND are made in America is what smarter fat boys wear.

If you ain't fat, you will be super golden. Bank on this. Mine last 9 months and a new pair is bliss. Inserts last longer.

I will say the NIKE's look sweet as do the Thorogoods. Buy the Redwing insert or a $60 arch support insert (full retail) at a better shoe store.

I can't vouch for the other's as I have not tried them but at 6', 275, the NB are the bomb.

Black hides the dirt.
