Yeah, the surplus shops in Arvada and off Hampden carry pretty much the same shitty work boots everyone else carries. Bass Pro, Cabelas, Sportsmans Warehouse, Big R, Murdochs, Boot Barn, they are all pretty much the same. Neptune in Boulder has good boots for hiking/mountaineering/hunting. Haven’t found a good place that has good quality casual/work boots yet.
I hate footwear shopping.
EE/EEE feet do that to a man.
When I do find a pair that works, I should probably buy 2 because eventually they'll wear out and no longer be made. Last pair I bought, uninsulated Pronghorns (better model) were a compromise because the "best" model wasn't in stock in the size I needed. I need a pair of medium height waterproof hikers but with current supply chain fukedness, it's impossible to find anything.
Lighten up there Bucky, your just mad you can’t get a pair for 1/2 price[facepalm]Quote:

The wife and I went to Sierra when they were only in Cheyenne and yes they had a great selection- I did notice that the pair of boots I tried on didn't feel right and looking it didn't appear that the tongue had been sewn in correctly. Made me wonder if they get 2nds and the like.
Red Wing shoe store treated me well for work boots (when I worked). Not sure what stores are still around but the USA made boots were comfortable and lasted.

I'm a huge fan, but admit they're not in the "work boot" category. They're a hiking boot. Some are thicker/warmer than others, but every pair I've owned has been a great value.
