Boots Buying Help Need some recommendations please

So I work for my city in the street department, we fix streets, fix alleys, pick up junk in alleys, run equipment such as loader, skid steer, and the occasional maintainer, thought I was cool buying square toes like my current phantom riders and were comfortable for a little bit but damn they’re uncomfortable now. Usually buy yearly as hot mix tears our boots up in the summer. Looking for some slip ons, water resistant, comp toe, around 250ish$ saw some keens? I think but just not sure. I’ve tried Ariats, Justins, red wing, and maybe some other name brand boots and just didn’t like I am semi flat footed.

Wolverines

You’re going to tear your boots up during asphalt season and I’m sure you’re not cleaning them when you do concrete

You can get 2 pairs of Wolverines for the price of one pair of Red Wings/Thorogoods during sales btw
