        Chips are are good intro.  Probably best bang for the buck.

          The Chippewas are also steel toe, may be something to consider.

              I wish Red Wing would list everything they make on their website (unless I missed it). Those are much nicer than the models listed on the American heritage site.

                im with you CLJ. And to anyone who's on the hunt for a RW that berlin link sure offers lots of nice RWs. i.e. US and Japan version..

                  The Red Wing Heritage site lists all their more retro styles.

                  Moonshine, just buy the Merlot Viberg Engineers. You know you will eventually in any case, so I'm saving you the cost of a lesser pair. 😉

                    well….yes and no...

                    Chips are fine, and if these are your first engineers...start with those, and move on upwards. Everybody needs at least 2 pairs of engineers in their life. They're boots not just ankle high shoes with laces ( I'm still stumbled that ankle high shoes with laces are called boots);)

                        If I'm not mistaken chippewa's are the original engineer boots. Just saying.
