White's or nicks. If you want better than that I would try open road custom boots that will be my next pair.
Yup...I like my Georgia boots the best.I've got a pair of Georgia's, don't wear them a bunch, but they are built like a tank, probably will never have to buy a work type boot after these. One thing, they take some time to break in, but the more you wear them the better they feel and look!
The CRK of boots? Are we talking work boots or some fancy shmantzy high dollar designer boot? For work I would say, Nick's, Whites, Danner are much better than Red Wing. I'm not much for super fancy designer hipster boots, so...
I used a paid of Nick's boots for wildland firefighting last year, they took some time to break in, but there was no issues with the pair I got. I later tried the Danner Flashpoint boots and they were much more comfortable from day 1.
Wesco for me.
