Work boots

[huskihl]

I wear a 14 D and never seam to find a shoe to fit!!

It sucks. Looking through all the shelves for sizes first, and if you find the right size, looking at what shoe it is. That was another attraction of the Outfitters- available up to 16 4E

6 to 9 months tops for redwing and wolverine. Went to Wesco's now with vibram 700 soles and heels and get about 3 years out of them. But you pay well for them.

What kind of work do you do?

 

[Only the Tony]

Drive for UPS and a little cattle farming. On my feet all the time in all kinds of weather.

Anyone use any particular boot dressing for the leather? Or just wear them like they come out of the box?

Both work very well. If I was applying to high grade leather goods, I would definitely choose the Obenauf's.

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool. I have never heard or seen either one. Where does one buy them?

 

[wildroamer]

I've had great luck with that Obenauf's. Bought it from Cabela's.

 

[RI Chevy]

Thanks. I will check it out.

 

[Four Paws]

Obenauf's is made in Idaho, sold in the local stores. Let me know if you have difficulty finding it.

 

[RI Chevy]

OK. I will. Thank you sir.

Wolverine replaced a pair of my boots early in 2016 and the same seem blew out again. After some back and forth discussion they decided to replace them again. I asked if I could get a different pair since these boots keep having the same problem. They agreed to this as well. I chose a slip on style soft toe waterproof boot and I feel like I'm walking on a pillow. They are the durashock Wellington

Shoe grease?
How does this compare to mink oil and sno seal?

I use the Obenauf's on all my boots and it works great.

Mink oil has been known to rot the leather and threads.
