What are the best work boots for pipe fitters?

Question

I would prefer to get red wings because they are the best...but as far as comfort, strength and protection which red wing boots should I buy for a pipe fitter?

Answer 1

I wear Redwing Model 2226. They are a steel toe boot, so your toes will be protected from falling pipes. The padded insoles help when you are standing on your feet all day. They also seem to hold up well. I wear mine every day at work and at home. My boots last about 18 months before they need to be replaced.
