I'm needing some new work boots. If I bought Aldens I would never wear them, I am very hard on boots. Has anyone ever had redwing 202s? They look very close to Aldens and IMO American made Redwings are top of the line. Top price too, but still less than Aldens.

I have both, and actually prefer the Redwings. The 202s look the part, are comfortable, and are tough-as-nails...

Hard to go wrong with RedWings. I had a pair that lasted nearly twenty years(three resoles) before I gave them to my brother. Now I have a pair of 2292s they are tougher than nails.

Agreed. I've had a pair of 953's for years, and while I don't wear them every day, they've been through a lot and are still holding up.
I've actually been looking at the 202s.

The original costume design called for Redwings, so technically....
