The Nick's with a sprung toe classic arch that 67 baby. I think it is clear my standard go to boot choice for all things work, is a basic hard wearing fire boot (not necessarily a fire rated boot, but these are what's available to me to shop locally from boot shops that have treated me with good service). Here's the old ones cleaned mostly and oiled up, and the new ones after a couple days of wear. Some people think it's excessive to have two pairs, and to spend as much money and time figuring out what generally works in all applications of your specific work needs, but I think I spent all this time so that finally, and hopefully, I don't have to think as much about boots, and can just beat them to death now. They are costly, and I wish they weren't, but what ya gonna do.
