I've seen these threads before and read them carefully. Up until this past February, I was part of the "cheap ones, frequently" camp.
I work in a cannery: cement floors, non-skid, salt water, grease, oil, crap crud and corruption, and would wear a brand new pair of Walmart Herman Survivor Made in China boots out in 6 weeks.
After reading yet another of these threads, and talking to a co-worker, I decided to take a chance and "blow" $180 on a pair of Redwings. I went to an actual boot shop, they do nothing but sell footwear. The salesman assured me that the model of Redwing I wanted was indeed made in America, and had a one year absolute warranty, regardless of working conditions. If a seam let go or I wore the soles out in less than a year, bring 'em back and they'd replace them.
After nearly 6 months, I can just start to detect a little wear on the very rear edge of the heel. Other than that and some staining of the leather from oil spills, they're just like new.
All I do is rub them down good about once a month with Mink Oil for waterproofing. I'm truly impressed, and there'll be another pair when the time comes.
