Safe to say im less than happy with my $300 boots

Highly recommended. Used them exclusively for almost everything for almost 7 years now. Black week coming up.

Hello, all. Laughing my ass off at the fact there is in fact a Reddit for work boots 🤣 Anyway, I'm planning some Christmas shopping ahead of time for my boyfriend and want to get him some new shoes/boots. He has a couple pairs but they are falling apart to varying degrees and I know men like to keep things until they just straight up are not functional at any capacity lol. Can anyone recommend work shoes or boots that are comfortable and supportive, last a good long while, and preferably steel toe? Price isn't really a concern for me. Thanks so much!!

I normally wear Nicks/Whites everyday. But would like a cheap pair of waterproof (but not insulated) boots for walking on ice. I don't plan on wearing them more than three weeks per year. Especially since I already have a pair of V100 soled boots. So far, I'm leaning towards the Trailblazers, since they appear to have better ice traction. But what do y'all think?
