Work boots

If you write to them and tell them about it, they may make it right for you.

Do you remember the name if the Danner boot you bought?

my redwings take about a week to break in but the leather is tough as hell.
once broken in they are great.

Agreed. Most my work is in chemical plants so they gotta be tough

Give me a minute and I'll look them up

I never had any experience with that boot. But their mainstays, the Arcadia and Ft Lewis boots I can attest too. They are stout and comfortable and last. I bought mine so long ago that I paid less than $200 for. Lol. My Arcadia's lasted 13 years. I wore them every day. Had them resoled once. Best pair of boots I ever wore. I bought a new pair just because I wanted a new pair. Lol

Correct! Lol

That price is Msrp. Many online stores sell them for much less. Look fir sales.

I kept buying the 200 dollar range ones 4 pair later i tried the expensive ones ,there is a difference ,have the super rain forest in black now ,wear them every day ,they get hosed off couple times a day ,feet stay dry .

 

[T.Roller]

I have no doubt there is a difference I just can't afford that much for boots. Maybe one day

I hear you Rolltide. Like the old adage says, "You get what you pay for."
Sometimes you pay a little more, but get more out of the boot. I am that way about my firearms. When your life depends on it, I only buy the best. I don't want to depend on a cheap gun misfiring when you need it the most.

That's how I feel too. I can manage $200 for a pair of boots, but not for EACH boot. Also, what's MSRP on a set of Whites, Nick's, Wescos, etc? It's in the $450-500 range right? It seems like if you're gonna spend $400 on Danners you might as well go all the way...

Just check out some online retailers. Prices are less.

I'm the same on firearms.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. There us no compromise.

 

[T.Roller]

Agreed.

Here is a photo of my 3 year Old Carolina Boots.

And the part that bothers me.

No brainer -

Same here. The last 2 pair of Wolverines I had both ripped out in the heel within 6 mo. They are not the quality they used to be.
Back to Red Wings.

I did pick up a new pair of Whites for $100.

I use to be die hard red wing. The paper mill killed them in less than a year and I switched to wolverine boots. At 130 for a pair they hold up way longer. The last pair I bought 2 years ago a seam in the heel let loose. I emailed wolverine and they had me send in the boots. Cost me around 12 dollars. About 2 weeks later brand new boots arrived at my door free of charge no questions asked. It will be hard to buy anything else after that.
