haha agreed. lol

Get one made in China or Portugal or Dominican Republic and price will be lower. Made in USA, UK, Spain with leather made in developed countries pay up!

Goodyear welt in general also cost more, you can replace sole when it wear out. Your timberland, sole worn out means throw away shoes.

Wolverine 1883 has a rubber sole? But you do have a lot of boots already. haha.

If I wanna count all my shoes, sandals and flip flops... I think also not as much as your total pairs of boots. I also thought of meermins & allen edmonds before too.. but wolverine & red wings gives me more of a rugged feel to them.

I wont say timberlands are cheap since they are priced almost as high as red wings and wolverines. I dont know about the other shoes/ boots that timberland offers but the signature wheat 6 inch boot is good quality stuff.

U did say u be working at office and most of the time be dressy.

Such style also rugged

Check out other style

BacktoBasics

if i may add, i own both RW and W1K and my thoughts on them:

RW IR
- for rough use - i can walk in the rain and puddle of water without care
- requires breaking in (a painful process)
- more casual and rugged

W1K (i own the addison wingtip)
- leather out sole, quite slippery and not really for outdoor
- no breaking in required, soft leather
- looks dressier

so really depends on the "look" that you are looking for. if you feel the above are too expensive, why not try clarks leather boots? handsome looking, durable and quite reasonably priced.

btw, i purchased the above during sales, so about at least 40% off. RW at nordstrom and W1K at eastdane.. based on luck and patience..

thanks for the link but I think I prefer Red wings IR more LOL. or wolverines 1k...if I am getting wolverines 1k...then I wanna change the laces...make them pop...

nope. just rock it hard.. it will soften over time..

not sure bro. i went to mid valley last week and saw loads of RW models over there.... if im not mistaken i also saw RW backman which is quite nice too... and so does the price.

this is red wing beckman

SWEET

look for a custom? check 7sept ig..look cool tho.

what 7sept?

If you're looking for something more formal instead of rugged, you should look at some other styles like chelseas instead.
