I bought a pair of the Irish Setter Farmingtons primarily for lots of standing on cement floors . I started by looking at Red Wings and thought they were too expensive. My Irish Setter boots are still nice even if they cost less since they are still all leather boots.
I also have a pair of the Danner Quarrys that were mentioned earlier but only because I found them on an old stock clearance deal. I think they are overkill for what Rich is looking for but he would get lots of envy points wherever he would go.
