I used to wear Red Wing Wellingtons for welding. When they needed soles, or

Weren't they excellent!?

I wore my pair for almost 20 yrs. Finally took 'em to RW and asked
them to repair the insoles. The told me to get lost. End of an era.

If you want true leather Wellingtons, might I suggest this company:

They've been making motorcycle patrolman boots forever. Expensive, I
know. But try and find custom shoes/boots any cheaper.
