Best work Boots?
I will be working in a woodworking shop (industrial) with concrete floors and they require steel toe or any reenforced toe. I have bad knees and I'm young which sucks. I blame it on wrestling. I need something that is comfortable through 11 hour days on my feet. I don't mind spending good money for good boots. I was thinking low heal because large ones are bad for the feet and knees. They need to be light too. I was looking at timberland pros but I'm originally a redwing guy PLEASE HELP

Any minute now folks will chime in saying Redwing. And yes, they have a long standing reputation as being "top of the line". I wasn't impressed. A Lot more money and I didn't find the boot any more comfortable. But then that's just one mans opinion.
What I have found is I do well to get a 1/2 size longer and wider. Then I spend the money for the best inserts I can find. Ahhh.
I used to get my boots at Sears, but they have gone downhill. So I moved to Wolverines. Timberland is another good brand. I currently am trying a pair of Gravel Gear from Northern Tool. (I had a coupon for $20 off the sale price, so I can't really loose)
Any boot that is cared for will last many years. If you never get around to cleaning and polishing them then 1-2 years maybe all you get out of them.

40+ years wearing construction boots and Redwing were the only ones that would last me more than 6 months. Get the correct size boots for you and add custom orthotics to properly support your foot. If you are standing in the same place much of the time have a cushion floor mat to cushion your feet.
