best price for us. made redwings are at flemington dept. store, harrys army/navy is close.

They have USA made and China made. I buy mine from Sparta Cobbler, he only sells the USA made ones. There's a place in Paramus that has the USA made boots as well. I just hate driving east of Parsippany these days so I don't go down there anymore.

where in paramus ?

What's the union discount?

 

Mine are going on 5 years need to be replaced. The sole is shot and the leather isn't worth it. Btw, Sparta Cobbler does stock the Chinese ones.

He got me the USA made. And can re sole if necessary. I didn't see the Chinese made in the shop last time it was there.

Redwing just opened up a new store in Greenbrook too -- eastbound side between Kramer and Warrenville rd

 

I personally go to the flemington department store -- Usually save $50 to $70 a pair over the company stores

It's usually 10% but sometimes it's flat dollar amounts. May depend on the store.

Your in a PBA union most likely, you have a local just like we do. I'm sure you get the same discount.

Timberland PRO with Anti-fatigue. Great boot for $150. 12-13 hr days are no big deal with these.

I used to ware timberland pro, and they were comfortable. But they wouldn't last a year in my trade. The sole would split in the middle of the boot and leak. The inside of the boot would turn into a sponge. It was horrible, made the redwing switch and never looked back. Same price, more comfortable, lighter, and last twice as long.

Agree 1000%. They are comfortable and great when new. For me it's always the inside heel that wears the fastest. I don't wear them loose or get a size too big, either, but the inside heel area wears so fast for me. I'd love to go American made, like Redwings,  but I can't justify the price. So far my Carolinas are holding up surprisingly very well.

Never had a more uncomfortable boot as Redwing. I'm a 13EE and their wides suck. Tried them twice and no luck.

 

I've gone through four pair of the Tim Pros. They've all held up at least a year walking on metal grating and climbing ladders. After a year, I get a fresh pair since I get paid for it. I'm sure they'll ruin them sooner or later.

I kept getting tired of timberland discontinuing the model I liked every year. I would always have to find a different model to get used to. That also pissed me off. But I have to say they were comfortable boots.

Yeah, I'm expecting them to drop the endurance pro soon enough. May need to pick up three or four before they go or get totally redesigned into crap.

I've used unionbootpro.com ever since Redwing went Chinese.

 

Customer service is great, and they have a decent selection of different boot types.

 

I've spoken with Walter Brown (the owner, I believe) a few times and he's always been helpful.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

They have a boot for every trade but insulator

I'm interested in their boots but I'm likely to get another pair of American Redwings. Being able to try on boots is a huge deal and my old pair are absolutely fantastic.

 

Union boots are cheap it seems. $150ish plus 27 percent off for Union members.

What's the skinny on logger boots?

 

My dad had an uninsulated pair of RW loggers and they killed his feet. Gave them to me when I was young and I disliked them as well. Are they considered less comfortable?

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I wouldn't group all loggers in to that. Maybe you weren't use to such a high boot, sized wrong, not broken in. I personally just don't like em that high

A couple guys I work with bought boots there.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Redwing seems to be getting skimpy with the union discount. Just got $15 off a $315 pair.

[Junior 14]

I get a $100 footwear allowance every year from my company. Made it easy to afford the red wings but I tried 3 different pairs and all took 2-3 months to break in properly. Once broken in they were comfortable. Plus the fact that you could drop your boots off as often as you want to the redwing store and have them put through the spa treatment. They clean em, oil them up and put on a fresh pair of laces for free. There's no limit on how many times you can do it and if they knew me well enough they have no problem doing it to my timberland pros also.

 

However, my timberland pros are the most comfortable boots out of the box I've ever worn. Only last about a year but for about $100 they are great. I've worn them for the last 2 years and have been happy
