The guys I work with really like those Thorogoods, but with a steel toe. For a non-steel toe boot JB is spot on with the Irish Sitters, there broke in before you ever put them on for the first time

The Irish Setters are not made here, or at least I couldn't confirm they were. The Thorogoods have mixed reviews, so I went to one of the "Made in the USA" sites and checked out Carolina, Chippewas, and others. Landed on Danners page and I have experience with them (Pronghorns that I love) so I decided to roll with their Bull Run boots. After spending another day in my "heels", I needed a different style of boot for my daily wear. Hoping these are it.

I just bought a pair of Red Wings, 2414, still made in the USA. I hope this is my last pair of work boots. Amazing how your feet grow the older you get, size 15 and I'm hung like a Fruit Bat. I have a few pairs of Russell Moccasin size 13 if anyones looking for high end boots.
Reporting back that these have been a great purchase. I wear them 4 days out of 5 right now. Super comfortable and built to last. Would definitely recommend.
Took a stroll down the block at lunch today and hit up the local leather goods store. I know the owners and usually get treated right. Today was no different. I made this mistake of trying these on and hole-lee-shit did Dan Post knock it out of the park with these insoles! I was wearing my tan DPs and I almost didn't put them back on. I wasn't planning on buying anything, and walked away twice, but couldn't leave without them. I'll still be wearing these in 30 years, so I'll get my $ back and then some. Like it's been said before "buy once, cry once" and I'm over the crying!

Purty freaking gaeh looking...tell me they ain't purple, its just the pic.
Thank God! Okay, its a good looking boot now. Good luck with them
I always thought ostrich was best looking of the “exotic” leathers. Sweet looking shit kickers, Jesse
I was wondering if there were purple, if they were I was waiting to see the rest of the outfit
I was not happy with how long my Ariats lasted. Only got a year almost to the day. Perfect timing for a thread like this. I had never heard of this brand. Anyone use them for actually kicking things and being in mud and dirt? https://danpostboots.com/products/storm-tide-waterproof-composite-toe-eh
