I need a new pair of boots, post up what you've had success with. I'm looking for comfort, durability and style pretty much the basics. Let me know what you swear by.
Recommend a good work boot.

Redwings. I will never buy another brand.
I work for the railroad, switching out box cars, I stand on ballast 10-12 hours a day sometimes. Through rain, snow, and blistering summer heat. They have lasted 2 years so far. Im about due for a new pair.
They are pricey, but they are for your feet. Protection and comfort, two things you cannot put a price tag on....

I like Timbs
Doc Martins and/or Wolverines (Dura shocks) for me.
wore Redwings for many, many years. Only work shoe for me.
Timberlands for hot and dry days, rocky wellingtons for cold/wet days. Good combo of boots IMO.
caterpillar.
i have these:
they're called the alaska steel toe. they also have the ansi 75 rating, which is the highest available, IIRC. they're very comfortable and last forever.

you work in docs? i have them for normal use, but i wouldn't think they would last that long in a work environment. do they even have a steel toe version?
against the grain here, got a pair of converse with a synthetic toe. they wear like tennis shoes and have the zipper on the side. very popular with the desert crowd but i have seen them in black as well. google converse desert boot, they run about $80, these will be my boot of choice ubtil they quit making them.
The docs are very nice, a guy I worked with has had them for three years and hasent had a problem. Right now Iam sporting the carhart boots and I like them WAY better than my timbs I had last year.
Danner boots. Depending on what kind of application you need, they have several different styles. I have a pair for work that I use that is Gore-Tex lined, so it is completely waterproof and it keeps my feet warm in the winter. They also have professional recrafters that you can send your boots back to when they get all worn out and they'll make them look brand new again.
