Timberland Pros or DR Martens. Get the ones with anti static technology. No more shocking yourself. Especially in a desert climate.

Customs are the way to go it's hard to find us made red wings these days same with English made Dr Martens

If you go to Sketchers, try out their 'tactical' line of boots. Very underrated and get a discount as an employee. You can also write off most things you buy for work as a tax write off so be sure to save the receipt.

I've been researching as well. And settled on Danner. Though many of the ones I were looking at were out of stock. L.L. Bean was another one. Also Haix, European made.

They were old but I never wore them they were comfortable. The rubber on the bottom was no good and falling apart I wore them less then 5 times.Made in china as alot of red wings are nowadays(My 20+ year old Docs are not falling apart)

Be careful when buying expensive boots. They are rarely better quality than inexpensive boots anymore. Your gate, weight, common terrain affects how quickly they’ll wear down more than the price tag will. And heavy boots are bad for your knees if you wear them everyday. Try and find a good sturdy hiking/walking shoe and save the boots for the rain, snow, and mud.

Maybe someone else in the past was too looking for shoes? Just a thought?

For a desert climate I would choose good work shoes over boots. The lighter weight makes a big difference.

Nike ACG. Redwings are terrible. Maybe they are better now but I bought a pair about 6 years ago, wore them for one day and they were like wearing two cinderblocks on your feet. They were heavy as hell.

Vasque boots. Personally, I like the Talus ultradry. A performance line of hiking boots from Red Wing.

Lol, search thread titles for "boots" and 3 pages of boot threads are listed!
