Best wide shoes for heavy folks (8+ hours standing)
You do not understand. We are takling about heavy folks in a buy it for life sub, have you ever had a great gyw shoe or boot? They are way more supportive for your entire body, and give the right amount of cushion if you choose the right sole. Look at RW Supersole, they are so damn good you can take them up for hours walking on concrete straight out of the store. And they last, that’s the whole point. If you think a running shoe or a Sneaker which might feel super soft is better for support of you body, especially if you are a big guy, then try. However I will stand with my advise

Boots of this style that aren’t made in China ?
I've owned a pair of RW Iron Rangers for about 1yr, and they use a last (internal foot shape of the boot) that is descendent of the iconic Munson last from WW1. Most heritage military-esque boots will use this last, or a close derivative. The Munson last was one of the first modern boot lasts to be developed, and it revolutionized warfare. It used a revolutionary, asymmetrical toe shape that matched the contour of the human foot. This radically decreased foot injuries from marching long distance. They're really, really good boots, and they feel indestructible on your feet, but the footbed is hard, not soft. This can lead to fatigue if you walk on hard floors all day. On the flip side, some people don't mind this so much, as the leather/cork footbed does conform to the shape of your foot over time, even though it's a relatively hard insole. If you don't want the extra layer of leather on the toe, you should look at the RW Blacksmiths, and maybe take a peek over at Thursday Boots as well. Good luck, a good pair of boots is an incredible tool to have.
