These boots are expensive but mine lasted through 6 years of daily wear from Illinois to South Carolina, up state New York, and Guam. I still wear them to work now but they should probably be retired soon as the soles are starting to crack.

Oh and I should mention I regularly polished them. Very Regularly! They won't last half that time if you don't take care of the leather.

@Argument of Perigee if I could look like his gloriousness...if only

Salomons seem to be a better deal than those navy boots, especially with all the bad reviews those ones are getting. Redwings are also really good workboots if you need steeltoe, costs about the same and you can get the soles replaced as needed.

^^^^^

I know a guy who has 2 pairs of Red Wings, wears the sole out if one, gets it re-soled and wears the other one. He's been doing that with the same pair for 10 years. Has probably spent ~$1300 over those years on boots

2018-02-23 18:32:56 UTC  

For boots, go with Red Wing. Great quality, made in America, classic style

$1100 Invicta watch picked up on sale new for $158. Did I win at FASHion?

I used to have a pair of Corcoran 10" side zips. Polished everyday. Eventually had to let go of the Mohawk and grow up. Lol. Miss those boots. Used them as work boosts for a long time after they are beat to shit.

2018-02-23 19:13:02 UTC  

Corcoran and Double H brand jump boots are the nicest. Toss on a coat of parade gloss shoe polish and you are in business.

2018-02-23 19:59:58 UTC  

Lol

2018-02-23 20:00:02 UTC  

Yep

2018-02-23 21:59:13 UTC  

I wore some Volcom Smithingtons for 4-5 years. Now I'm in these timberlands

Justin boots are the shit. I have 2 pair I've been rotating out for about 10 years.

2018-02-23 22:00:56 UTC  

@Valaska that's not a boot. That's a high top

2018-02-23 22:01:44 UTC  

No shit kicking in those things haha

2018-02-23 22:01:52 UTC  

I'm just fucking with you

2018-02-23 22:02:10 UTC  

These BOOTS have seen some action!

2018-02-23 22:02:50 UTC  

Haha I'm a farm boy, so boots to me have a heel

2018-02-23 22:02:50 UTC  

Are Justin boots like work boots? I think my buddy has a pair of them

2018-02-23 22:03:27 UTC  

Work and casual. More along the lines of "cowboy" boots

2018-02-23 22:04:26 UTC  

I could have sworn they're justin, because that's his name... they're his prized possession

2018-02-23 22:04:43 UTC  

If you don't actually live on a ranch and you're worried about what it looks like, you can get Justin's without the cowboy stitching and they're nice.

2018-02-23 22:05:25 UTC  

Justin makes some red wing style boots too.

2018-02-23 22:07:16 UTC  

I got a pair of Rocky boots last year, I spend a lot of time on a ladder and these Rocky have a metal plate in the sole where your foot would sit on a ladder. Oh man no more sore feet. Nice boots too. Kind of cheap too, like $125

2018-02-23 22:09:28 UTC  

I had some rockys back in the day.

2018-02-23 22:10:07 UTC  

Any experience with waterproofing boots ?

2018-02-23 22:10:37 UTC  

My feet have been constantly wet since it snowed in these timberlands

2018-02-23 22:11:18 UTC  

I like that they make boots that fit the job your doing.
Every boot I wear is waterproof. Never really had to do anything to them.

2018-02-23 22:11:53 UTC  

I bet there are some red necks on here who have experience with that haha

2018-02-23 22:12:36 UTC  

I wish I had gotten another pair of volcoms.

2018-02-23 22:13:04 UTC  

They make boots?

2018-02-23 22:13:32 UTC  

Yeah. Best boots I've ever owned

2018-02-23 22:13:54 UTC  

Wore them for work casual hiking everything

2018-02-23 22:14:03 UTC  

Oh wow, I didn't know that.

2018-02-23 22:15:00 UTC  

Pretty good sole on them? I tend to wear it out quick.

2018-02-23 22:15:08 UTC  

They're a little dressy like my timberlands but tuff as shit

2018-02-23 22:15:51 UTC  

Oh crazy. When I think volcom I think skate shoes

2018-02-23 22:20:23 UTC  

Flexfit hats are the best hats ever made, I swear by them. I've been wearing the same hat every single day since June 2001
