Red Wing 218 Work Boots

Community noted

Red Wing's 218 style is a leather work boot from their trade/service line, built for daily heavy-duty use.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

An electrician wearing them heavily on the job reports the uppers never give trouble, needing only a resole roughly every 2.5 years of hard trade use.

    I wear RW 218's pretty heavily at work (electrician) and they last a minimum of 2 1/2 years before needing to be resoled. Never had a problem with the uppers.
