[QUOTE="GypsyGoldAu, post: 299529, member: 5873"] I'm with PabloP here...my first pair of "detecting boots" were Redbacks. I bought them in the same size as regular shoes and found they required (stretching) some work to eventually feel "comfortable" to me. My feet did ache after a long day, but those puppy's lasted me near 10 years...still plenty of sole, just all the stitching is finally giving up... So, i was looking for either a repair or replace. Went with replace, but bought Redbacks once more, ONE size larger...and OH Boy...what a relief....had them 6 months now and can wear them ALL day like runners... Just my experience with Redbacks... I also have Deep Creek (cheaper style from like camping stores...) steel caps (one size larger lol) for GP work (comfy), and a set of AT's steel caps (no zip) but only worn twice as they gave me blisters on the heel.... Also...the "non-steel" cap Blundstones i bought years ago did actually have a "sole" metal plate to stop them from splitting soles... So, all in all...as we have different shaped feet....you might be best served going to a "shoe-shop" (a novel experience in itself these days lol) and trying various makes to ensure a firm and comfortable fit....what works for me may not suit YOU. Hope you find the answer to your quest...and good golding wearing them in. ;) Gypsy [/QUOTE]
