I'm on year 3 of daily wear on my Redwing Brnrs
Honestly best boots I've ever owned. If work would pay for em I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat.

Vibram has different models. The 100 is very durable but lacks comfort. The 2021 is comfortable but lacks durability.

Extended cab we're pretty rare in the day. Dunno if I love or hate that it's a plow truck.

There's no way those are 2414, it's only 2023. Sheesh, you really can't trust people on the Internet.

Usually these plows are removable though, that's why I was asking. Seems kinda odd to buy a truck like this and only have it in service a fraction of the year.

I regret putting off buying Red Wing dress shoes. When I finally could afford them they were discontinued.

Not taken care of, but recently repaired some stitching and resoled for the second time.
I remember paying about $350 (CAD) in the winter of 2014, and how much it hurt to pay that at the time. However, I believe I'd have spent much more since then on replacements.
The cobbler said this is probably the last sole replacement, so we'll see how much longer they'll last.
One thing is for sure, I'll be picking up another pair of Red Wings to replace them when they do go.

Is it not used for anything the rest of the year?

We are a family of mechanics and such so we take good care of vehicles lol. It was used for plowing out various properties.

There’s some rust but the brown hides it.

I can hardly see any rust, very atypical for a plow truck. Do they not use salt there?

For your driveway or commercially? Because plow trucks have a pretty short lifetime.

A good clean pair of Iron Rangers will do you for dress. Look a little cowboy but I hear that's in vogue.
