Harness Boots

[Jadex1]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to find the right pair of boots. I got some harness river road boots, before trying them in person and i was disappointed with them. I'm trying to find a leather boot with harness that is sort of a hard leather. The thing I didn't like about the river road boots was that they were a little flimsy and not very tight near the ankle area at all. I'm looking for something that closer to the fit of a cowboy boot. If you know of any boots that you would recommend to me please do, the only thing is i am looking for boots that are brown. so no black boots please. if you could attach links and or recommend brand names i would really like it. Also would you found you like and didn't like about boots would be nice.


thank you,

Jadex

Do you know of any other brands, like durango and harley? I was wondering what i should be looking for when i look for a boot too.

i'll second the redwing endorsement. my last pair survived my crash w/ plenty of leather to spare. and they are plenty comfy. i do replace the inner sole with an upgrade.

personally i like the 2244's (1444's for softer toe) , but in a pull on (cowboy style) i'd go with the 4445 assuming you can live with steeltoe.

1st thing i look for is waterproof. then insulated, then if i can find a "reinforced" safety toe im sold. not a big fan of true steeltoes as the steel doesnt stretch with the rest of the boot and it gets uncomfortable for daily wear (from my experience w a 14E) . i keep a pair of steeltoes in the closet for when im going in to hardhat zones.

been forever since i owned a pair of durango's, only pair i owned lasted several years of daily wear ( w/ resoling) and were decent boots, far less protection and ankle support than the redwings but it was a true cowboy boot not a work boot.
went through a few pairs of doc martins also but I dont think they make a pull up and the leather is softer than redwings.

ps. you might look for "engineer" boots w/ adjustable straps. it'll shore up that looseness in the ankle. 2991 and 2992 in the redwings.
