I've had about 10-11 pairs of Georgia Farm and Ranch wellingtons over the years. Got tired of the price going up and the quality down. Bought a pair of Red Wing 1159s about a year ago. I don't wear them everyday because even after a year, I can't get the damn things broken in. Which may be a testament to how well made they are, I am not sure. At the end of the day, my hooves are killing me in them. They are supposedly USA made, which is why I gave them a shot. Jury is still out on them.
