This is probably a terrible place to ask for practical advice but I'll give it a shot. I need a new pair of steel toed work boots. My stipulations are that they be full leather, at least 8'' tall and black in color.
I wore Dr. Martens for over a decade but my last two pairs were total shit. I didn't really believe the rumors that their quality had dropped so drastically after moving production to China but God damn, the new ones are awful.
I'm not /fa/shionable, don't bother telling me, I don't give a fuck. Don't tell me to get Solovairs or Grinders, those boots are casualwear, I need something made with industrial use in mind.
Any constructive ideas appreciated.

Red wing is a fashion meme, definitely not the most practical boots.

>inb4 he drops $300 on an actually good pair of boots and trashes them to shit
if you don't let the leather dry out in between wears you're going to dramatically decrease the lifetime of your shoes
consider getting two pairs, even

GYW is way more about "fashion" footwear than workwear.
Red wing exists beyond their heritage line. I'm not a fan of anything they make, but they do have legitimate work boots available.
I still like danner much much more. Maybe chippewa will work.

I forgot about White's, which the GYW thread mentions. Apparently some of the greatest bang for your buck in the tougher boot game, though ordering seems weird to me.
