You know you can go to a Red Wing store, get a fitting and then ask for some quality Red Wing steel toe footwear right? Red Wing sells like 900 pairs of footwear with some being BIFL and some being shitbox, so you cannot disparage the brand when you bought shitbox Red Wing shoes.

Timberland pr series are comfortable as fuck. I also have a pretty wide foot, size 11-12 depending on the boot, and they are awesome. Not built for life. But I'm in a heavy industrial field and they typically last a solid year and a half before becoming yard work boots. As a rule I wear pull on boots but I've owned a few of their lace ups and couldn't complain at all for the quality vs price.

Try Tory leather. They make halters, leads etc. for horses and the belts are truly good. I bought my husband one before our kids were born and it's still in great shape, the only thing is that it stretched out slightly so he's had to move holes once or twice.

Fix your current model. My 10yr old kenmore elite washer needed a new bearing and the only option was an entire new assembly with install would have prob been $800. I bought new GE profile units instead of fixing. (The blue ones) Huge mistake. If you care about how loud they are DO NOT BUY. They are incredibly loud on spin. Almost 90db. Ge visited to observe and said this is just how loud they are. New units offer zero value over old units and they are 3x as loud. I’d strongly consider keeping you old unit.
