Im new here so please forgive me if this has been answered. I haven't quite made it through all 230 pages yet!
I just got in a new pair of work america steel toe engineers, and can't even get my foot down the shaft. I will be returning these, but am wondering what boots typically have a wider shaft. Obviously if I'm buying these I'm not looking to spend 500 plus.
Thanks for any info that may help!

Had this problem with a pair of H&H boots before. If you're not looking to break the bank try a pair of Carolinas.

Thanks! Ill give it a go. I went with the Work Americas because it was the closest thing I could find to the Red Wing 2268 as far as looks are concerned.
I like the brown accents and the profile of a steel toe, are there any boots that closely resemble the 2268s/

Dallor,

The challenge is that there really isn't much in the middle price points. Frye's boots fit true to size, and Chippewa offer good bang for the buck. I don't think the Red Wing engineers are worth the extra money. You'd be better served spending $400 on a basic pair of White's Nomads or Wesco Boss. You will get higher quality, thicker leather, mite solid build, and some customization.

Thanks jammer_5!
Ive finally made it through every page on this thread, and am leaning in the Whites direction!!
From what I understand, its better/less costly to go through a retailer than the manufacturor. I did read this right, correct?

I found it cheaper to go through Baker's!

 

[dallor667]

Thanks Dav

Yeah, Baker's is the best. Kyle is great to work with, and their prices are generally the best.

For that price, I prefer Wesco Boss more ^^

 

[dallor667]

Thanks for all the info guys!

I continue to be a fan of Wescos and have been so for 20 years. They last forever.

This is the 100th anniversary of Redwing 8258 I bid from japan last week.
The condition is quite well and the most important point is : It is made of Horween CXL leather....

The boots are completely cleaned and sterilized by ultraviolet lamp



They are as usual polished by using Saphir creme 1925

Beautiful!

Old Joe horsehide engineer boots

Hey Engineer guys any Italian boot guys around? Will be over there next month and wanting to know if I should be concerned very much about safety other than common sense? Any boot guys in Florence?

Went to the Osaka Red Wing store and finally found a pair of Red Wing engineer that fits me. Down side is they only came in two colour the Red Wing engineer 2268 and 8268 in E width. Since I wasn't looking for another pair of black or roughout steel toe engineer boots, I passed on them. However there is another interesting find there. They finally made a pair of the tea-core 9268 Red Wing engineer without the steel toe and they look awesome. I hope that they would make them in E width in the near future.
