No shoes are truly BIFL if you wear them regularly, but these come close

I personally don’t have any experience with Danner, but a friend swore by them.

I have two pairs of Redwing boots that have held up incredibly well over the years and highly recommend.

Redwing customer service sucks, their warranty is bullshit, and their Goodyear welt falls apart in just over a year. I will never purchase another pair of redwing boots and I am far from alone.
I’ve tried them twice. They never broke in and got comfortable.
I find them pretty comfortable once broken on, but they don’t have long left after that
