    I don't believe they do. I've seen close, 14EE which is double wide.

    sleeve brings up a good point about refinishing versus new boots. IDK if redwing does refinishing but if you wear out your chippewas just send them in to be refinished. Saves you on new boots and the pain of breaking them in.

    Just don't get insulated ones. You'll die.

        ^^^ DOC's all the way!
        great for work, great for ass kicking!
        more comfy than redwings, and break in easier.

        i usually get around 5 years out of them except my current pair is around 8 i think.

        although admittedly the quality has gone down since Nike bought them out.

          timberland pro series! i have had two pairs of them. one with steal tows and now a pair with out. the first set lasted me 4 years under heavy conditions (worked framing and concrete). they are very comfortable and strong and have all the right features like oil resistance and they are isolated against electric shock. i think for the price of $100 you can not beat them. red wings are great but i dont think they are worth $300. timberlands are just as good.

                  Yea I wear chippewa's for years now. Logger heel is the best for standing on hard floors imo.

                  I DONT recommend Doc Martens

                    Danner. I've had mine for the last 6 years and use them about 12 to 20 hours a week when I'm working at the fire department. Super comfortable and should get another 4 or 5 years out of them based on their condition now.

                    Danner boots are a mark of superior craftsmanship, Our hiking, hunting, work, military, and law enforcement boots are built with GORE-TEX waterproof liners, durable Vibram outsoles, and full-grain leather.

                      Do you have any in a size 12? I have to wear steel toes every day and I absolutely hate wearing boots. I replace my steel toe shoes about every 6 months.

                        i absolutly loved my danners. 3 years they were the only thing i wore on my feet. they went to hell and back.

                        im rocking the 5.11 A.T.A.C storm which im told is the best tactical boot on the market now. im really happy with them. 10-12 hrs on my feet pretty comfy.

                          Oregon company too. This is where my money would go if I had to wear boots all day. Unfortunately I have to wear dress shoes all day which have their own set of negatives, especially on my back.

                              Timberland pros, very comfortable for a work boot IMO.
