I find almost everything else Marks sells is garb, some of their Timberland stuff is OK but they dont carry a lot of the nicer/better models.

For me now it's Red wings or nothing, my current red wing steel toes which are kind of a blundstone style slip on slip off were like $270, but worth every penny imo.

They are more comfortable as a steel toe and fit better off the shelf than my $600 custom made Dayton boots.
I don't have the slip on slip off, but Red Wings 2412/2414 are definitely great for the money. Plus resoling for vibrams is 100 or authethic soles for 145 at a cobbler.

I've heard great things about Blundstones too.
