I got a pair of Georgia Loggers for about $170 for work last summer. I put 10-20k steps in a day at my job for eight months, still have em fresh by my bedside for innawoods. They're a bit heavy for hiking, I'll admit, but they're sturdy, comfy and impressively resilient so far.
Red Wings of the same capacity are twice the price, I can't attest to how long each last comparatively but so far mine are only roughing in the leather (which comes with living in dry climate and not oiling them), but that sole (vibram) is essentially untouched, and I've put them through some shit.
