Good LOCAL source for boots?

[brutal]

I am creature of habit and tend to buy Salomon boots from wherever I happen upon a pair in my size, while out with the wife... or if I need one quickly just get them online since I know how they fit my feet already. 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.

I'm consigned to buying mostly Merrell for hiking/shooting/general purpose "boots" due to my duck feet. They're comfortable enough for what they cost, but the outer materials (toe caps) are pure crap. $145 for these and the chicom "rubber" toecap will be trash falling apart in 4-5 years.

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.

The best boots I've ever owned are Red Wings. Steel toe, water proof, super comfortable for 12+ hr. days.

I have different boots for different purposes, as someone stated before.

My dad has EEE feet.... always has trouble finding shoes. Like finding flippers for a duck.
