2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

FUCK. They're the only ones I've found that make a 6E width shoe that actually fits me (flat, super wide feet with massive instep. my feet are basically bricks.)
Boots! There's a boot that will fit you. Boots changed my life.
Yeah, I do need to make the switch. I had boots for work at something (nonslip and it's all that would fit) but food service destroyed them. Just very hesitant to drop that kinda cash (tennis shoes alone run ne $200+). Red wing still any good? Heard mixed things about them these days, and specific product lines being good/bad
My boss turned me on to these:

They are great. I wear them everywhere and am on my second pair now. I'd say you get 2 - 5 years of heavy, daily use but they probably aren't for work in a woodshop or whatnot.
I wish online shopping was an option for me, I can't justify the money on things I can't try on in-person sadly. Looks like they only go up to 3E width anyway.
They do look nice though!
I like my red wings but I can’t speak on the company’s politics.
In general find a smaller company and ask how resoleable they are. A great boot can be repaired for life instead of replaced. They can be uncomfortable to break in but once you do they’re amazing.
