Carolina or Wolverine Boots?

[firefighterjake]

I got the same problem. Winterport Boots?

Yup . . . always nice to just go in and they can pull up the computer with all my measurements and what I get each and every time.

I have a pair of Carolina's I use for wood work, Wolverines for cold and snowy days but live in my Timberline Pro boots ( best cushioning ) Shattered an ankle awhile back. In the house LL Bean's

No bear feet any more.

Do the LLBeans come in steel toe?

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but am I the only one that feels sort of naked when wearing something "other" than boots?

Cheers!

I only wear my boots when i'm naked as well.....

Here's some footwear for those "bear" feet!

Another good thing is rubber soles take the dogs out in them!

Jake- with toenails that long its a wonder you don't go through 20 pairs of RedWings a year....

I used to wear Red Wings exclusively until they started making some of their stuff in China. I buy stuff from China but I try not to when I can. I did a little research and discovered Thorogood Boots. Made in the USA and very similar to Red Wings (at least in the style I wear). I bought my normal slip ons and got a steel toe pair of lace ups too. The lace ups were stiff for a week or two and I was about to give up on them and boom, they broke in. I now wear them exclusively. Good quality. Every bit as good as my last pair of Red Wings (lasted me about a year) and probably better (been in the Thorogoods for over a year now and I have lots of wear left). It's a pretty subjective thing but the Thorogoods will hold up to Red Wings and none of their boots are made in China.

Again, some Red Wings are still made in the USA but some of their lines aren't. Did I mention my Thorogoods were $80 cheaper than the same boot in Red Wing? Red Wing prices have gotten a little ridiculous if you ask me.

carolina loggers rock. i like the high heel, on my feet all day and wear the boots 7 days a week. they arent red wings but for under a 100 bucks i dont think there is a pair of boots that compare imo. i tend to beat the crap out of my boots as well. havent found cheaper/quality alternative yet.

Ditto

Nope. I wear earth sandals for a few hours after work on warm or very hot days,occasionally my 15 yr old Nike high tops.But neither one are as comfortable as my boots,especially if I am doing much walking.No shoes of any kind inside the house,just socks.Shoes track stuff in & wear the carpet out faster.Socks are cheap,when they have holes worn in them,in the shop rag bag they go.
