Ya see the thing is I actually have 3 pair for Redwings (well, their off brands, WorkX & Irish Setters) right now, (a new pair each year) and they all have held up GREAT! I'm just looking for a pair that will keep me lil piggies warm and toasty on them cold rides in to work this winter. And nost of the RW that are Steel toe and insulated run in about the $220 range or more.
