Just ordered a pair of these after months of deliberation.

Goodyear welted, full grain leather and USA made for $179 and come in wide sizes with LLBean customer service.

Men's Katahdin Iron Works Engineer Boots: Casual | Free Shipping at L.L.Bean

With these looking this good, in my opinion, and with the pricing, I couldn't justify a pair of Red Wings or Danners.

I will find out if I made the right decision soon enough.
