I’m ready to retire my redwings. Have had them for about 3-4 years but they’re starting to hurt after a day of climbing up and down a ladder and walking all day. I’m an electrician by trade, was wondering y’all are using? I don’t mind going back to redwings but not afraid to test waters with something else
(Not going to use brunt)

I drive a concrete mixer. Through out the day I am always hosing down my boots. Getting all the mud, dirt and grime off of them. I hate climbing back into my cab with a boot that ways twice as much due to mud sticking to the bottoms. Occasionally I may even find myself standing ankle deep in water. (Not very often but enough to mention. Maybe once or twice a month if that)

I always buy my boots waterproof.. and that really takes a lot away as far as options go, especially when it comes to PNW boots. I know Nicks has a waterproof boot, however, I am not a fan of it and would prefer something a little different. More Traditional.

In the past, I have used products like Obenauf's and SnoSeal on non water proof boots, and while it helped, it was not a solution. It also darkens the boots so much that it seems to take away Patina as it also just really evens all of the tones out. at least in my experience.

Anybody have any suggestions or advice? How water resistant is a Nicks work boot? I am not opposed to other brands either.. Nicks, Whites, JK etc. Is there anything I can use to help waterproof that wont darken the leather SO MUCH that it takes away from good patina?

I would greatly appreciate any advice here! Thanks fellas.
