My husband needs new boots. He wore red wing for years (idk what model) and liked them but they’re out of budget right now. He’s a full time mechanic on concrete 95% of his day. He’s got flat feet but on the narrower side. He is struggling with foot, hip and lower back pain. He just got a referral for custom orthotics but he needs new boots either way.
His needs are
$200 max but would be happier if it was cheaper of course
NO arch support
Comp toe
Light weight
Water resistant
Anti slip
I’ve been trying to narrow his choices down, but struggling with options. I’m looking at the Irish setter Ashby and Timberland pro (haven’t found a specific model yet) among others.
Open to other suggestions!
