>>364701Machinist here, and I've got a pair of Merrell Thermo-6 boots and they're heading for
their _8th year_ as winter work boots, though admittedly, I'm not doing anywhere near
as much walking as a ground keeper.
But they've held up great and are prefect for going to/from work, shopping, shoveling snow
and other day-to-day stuff in a Michigan winter (or slopping out your flooded basement after
the Great Flood of 2014...)
