I've been through over a dozen pairs of work boots in the last 8 years. I am very hard on boots due to the conditions I work in. The boots constantly get wet and I kneel down quite a bit. I generally buy hiking boots due to the amount of walking I do and the availability of waterproof hiking boots. I've had quite a few pairs of timberland boots, along with a pair of vasque, columbia and merrills. The most recent pair was the Danner GTX 453. I'm finishing my second season with these. The pair of merrills I bought this spring are already in the garbage. I just bought a new pair of Danner GTX 453's and will likely keep buying them. I also have a pair of Danner insulate leather pronghorns, which are awesome as well.
