Work America vs Red Wings

[Hepville]

Dear Loungers!

In another forum someone mentioned Work America boots as an option to Red Wings. I´ve took a look at some of these shoes/ boots and they have some similar styles to Red Wings... and are less expensive.
Can somebody say something about quality, handling and wear from Work America products?

Seems as though I remember a lengthy thread about this topic within the last year or so. Might do a search and see what you can find. No experience with Work America boots as I am a Red Wing man.

Edit note: The thread was in the Outerwear section.

Don't know about the Work America boots either... I own three Red Wing boots and these are excellent! Keep in mind that these boots run a little bit large, so if order tru internet make sure you know your right size.

Thank you Guys!
I will do a search to see what I can find.
I know about the sizing with Red Wings... already have two pair of them. I may consider to get a pair of Iron Rangers.
As I know there are some Red Wing styles only produced for the Japan market... I will see what I can find out about this...
