Irish Setter Wingshooter -- Like walking on a cloud - no break in what so ever - they give you some insulation, nice looking boot. I wear them every other day. I also do yard work and mountain bike in them. NOT Good on concrete if the floor gets wet, but they are so comfortable.

Redwing Heritage - The god father of work boots. Beatiful looking boot. Hurts like [censored] to break in, light ,not insulated. Look AMAZING. I have never worn them to work - I intended to, but they looked so good I just couldn't.

I also have owned Chippewa...you can't go wrong with them. Stay away from Timberland (cheap, don't last). My next pair will be Thorogoods.
I beat the ever living tar out of my boots...water, cold, cement floors, grease, oil, sand, salt, mud. ^^^^^ These boots are all durable.

You just can't go wrong with Wingshooter. They look similar to Redwing model, I use them (Wingshooter) for hunting as well. I'm not sure if you've ever considered possibly even a Salomon? That might work as well. Known to be good.
