I need boots and shoes, the ones I have are falling apart.

I have size 12 EE or EEE feet, I cannot get shoes in practically any store.  So I'm going to have to order them.  Any recommendations on a good online store?

I'd like some recommendations, if you please, for the following shoe types:

1. TOTALLY FRIKKIN WATERPROOF SNOW BOOTS

2. HUNTING / HIKING BOOTS

3. CONSTRUCTION BOOTS

4. HEAVY WALKING SHOE FOR CRAPPY WEATHER THAT LOOKS OK WITH DOCKERS


I'm grade B+ or better, but no A+++++++ is needed.


Thanks

I've really liked all of the Asolo boots I've owned.  I go back to them each time I need new ones (have never worn a pair out, only out grown them)

2. Cabela's.  Not sure of the brand but their hiking boots are great.  I have a pair.
3.  Red Wing.  My dad swears by them.  He bought cheap Walmart boots one time, messed up his legs.  Never again.

Good selection @ Zappo's

I love my Caterpillar boots, others swear by Red Wing.

USA made Danner Ft Lewis...they are gore-tex lined and waterproof and will last forever.  Word of caution, order extra wide...they tend to run narrow.

The Timberlands I bought a few years back are waterproof and very comfortable.  Nice and soft around the top.  They are starting to wear in the heel area on the inside, but otherwise, they are holding up great.  I wear them almost every day.



Sorry, I don't know the exact model.  Some Timberlands feel horrible.
This isn't exactly them, but it's close.  Mine are just a little higher up the leg.  Kinda mid-high.  The hooks at the top instead of eyelets make lacing and unlacing go much faster.  Love 'em.

All of those categories could be satisfied with products in the Danner line....but since you obviously missed the 50% sale codes and the numerous threads here a few weeks back, I think you are SOL.

Oh, if you want something with your khakis or jeans try Merrell clogs...yes I said clogs. They look slightly dressy but don't get trashed so easily as dress shoes. Slip on too, comfy for long drives.

+1  I would definitely get the American made Danners and make sure and try them on before you buy.  For me Danners run narrow as well.

The Danners will probably be too narrow.

If that is the way you choose to buy them, but there are two stores near me that keep them in stock, so I have never custom ordered a pair.
