      Everyone who is into this kinda gear should of owned a pair of Red Wings at least once.  I have numerous pairs and can't complain. Go for a pair.

            Red Wings are between $300-$350 here, depending on the model. Wolverines $420.

              I hear ya 🙂 . Are Wolverines worth the extra? Read some pretty damning things about them on the dedicated thread here.

                Never had a pair. What size are you? Will keep a eye out. Always see Redwings in the sales. Never paid full price for a pair and I had 6.

                  Glad to proxy, just figure out sizing & save the extra money on flowers for the wife with a decent dinner or a day trip with the kiddies.

                    Cheers guys, that's very decent of you both. I have it on good authority that I'm a UK 10/US 11 in Red Wings. Shout out if you see anything.

                      I have redwings and wolverine addisons. Go for redwings ( oxblood iron rangers or ice cutters are a good shout imo).

                      I also like the look of look of the danner made for japan boots but not owned a pair yet!

                        … So I'm thinking something more "entry level" that cost around $400, like Red Wings or Wolverines. They need to be able to tackle rain and not be useless in ice and snow. Lining isn't a must as woollen socks are boss.

                        Here's the question: Based on the above, which boots should I buy?

                        Beside the common RW's and Wolverine Boots, you could also check Thorogood or Chippewa Boots for this price range.

                              So.. In my stockroom/ level floor cellar, I have no light… No electricity either, everything's been cut (to prevent from tenants using the built-in airco I assume)...

                              I've bought a LED searchlight but I need something that provides much more light... This is kinda cool but not sufficent either: http://www.light11.nl/Marset/FollowMe.html

                              Anyone have any ideas here?.. It's a small room, under 10m²…

                              I use these during blackouts
