They were not cheap. BUT I have worn them every day since then. The soles and heels are finally showing enough wear to need resoling. <br />So I will send them back to the factory in Kentucky and the factory will completely refurb them for $70.00.<br />I would strongly recommend this brand to anyone needing a high-quality, tough boot.<br />emdflAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-40254783300268252512011-04-21T17:55:03.497-07:002011-04-21T17:55:03.497-07:00@David

I wear them nearly every day from late fall to early spring (mostly in the rain and snow) and have done so for the past 6 years or so. They still look almost like new, with the exception of a few scuff marks on the toes. Mine have a Gore-Tex lining for extra water resistance, but I believe you can get a version for less money without the Gore-Tex (they still have a lining, though). Mine also have a cushion at the top of the leather upper, but I believe they also sell versions without this. Red Wing has a very extensive selection of both shoes and boots (steel-toed Oxfords, anyone?). They also operate retail stores in most cities, making it easy to see what they have to offer. I liked my pair so much I bought two more pairs to put in the closet for the future.<br /><br />JonathanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-49857387847431202642011-04-21T08:55:01.619-07:002011-04-21T08:55:01.619-07:00Most shoes (including boots) now have crappy vinyl...Most shoes (including boots) now have crappy vinyl or fabric padding & linings that wear out in months.<br /><br />A pair of Lehigh work boots I got 25 years ago are 100% leather around your foot. They have lasted and lasted, but it looks like Lehigh's current offering is not the same.<br /><br />If anyone has recommendations of what boots have NO lining (just leather, please) and no crappy vinyl padding at the top, please provide a link. That's what I want to buy.dc.sunsetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826161742700965939noreply@blogger.com
