Post in the boot thread that's already up and running and I'll give you advice.

>Read through bootgeneral
>90% of posts are about faggy jogging shoes
>One post with a boot similar to what I'm looking for
Maybe I've come to the wrong place...

Yeah, maybe you're right and should go back to your fucking /k/retins shithole. Also people recommend trails shoes because they are the ultimate choice for /out/.
If you're looking for working boots then ask /diy/ or some shit. maybe call danner

I've got a pair of Danner Vicious' and they're pretty dope. Seem to be what you're asking for to a T. They feel excellent, my feet don't fatigue in them after a long day of work unlike some other shoes I have. That said my hiking experience with them is limited to short day hikes so far (looking to get some longer backpacking in this winter with them). Mainly in the summer tho I roll in Solomon trail runners- that's what I thru hiked the AT in and what works for a lot of people. My AT buddy did the Florida Trail in Chacos and loved them. Everyones different tho. Pic related.

>faggy jogging shoes
friendly reminder youre an idiot and don't even know what you want, you just like cosplaying as your dad
>>871378
clearly said boots, not faggy jogging shoes
The thing about leather is you can get it pretty waterproof on its own with some wax. I myself have a pair of old Danner Pronghorns, great boots. They have Thinsilate or whatever in them, so better for the colder months. I've walked through a shallow river and never got my feet wet.
You have good taste if you bought Red Wings. I suggest you check out some of their lines. I know they make a few boots without steel toes. Danner is another good brand, and believe it or not Timberland does actually make some decent hunting/hiking boots.

>heyyy fags and queers, the things you like are shit!
>...why am I not getting good advice?

Something from Danner.
Wolverines
8 inch
leather
soft, or steel toe ( i think they may have also used to offer a composite toe)
waterproof out of the box, with some maintenance for many years
steel shank in sole, for any ladder work
i had my first pair for 8 years, walked thousands of miles in them, they stated waterproof for about 6 years with me adding nothing to them , and abusing them on a daiy basis ,

Check out Meindls sold at Cabelas. They're 8 inches high, very soft and not terribly expensive. They hold up to wildland firefighting so they can't be crap construction.
