vf1000ride Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I wear the Timberland pitboss.http://shop.timberland.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4208215Going on 10 years of buying that boot. First two pair lasted roughly 5 years each, just picked up my 3rd pair two months ago. The first two I wore the soles out before the leather went bad. Mostly as an aircraft mechanic so the entire 40 hour week walking around on concrete floors with some pretty harsh chemicals mixed in. Not made in the USA, the current pair I have say they where made in the Dominican republic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron505 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Rocky outlet also carriers a lot of Giant boots too now. Made in China. I think I'm done with Rocky too unfortunately.I used to wear Die Hards from Sears, and they always had a great warranty on the soles. Very comfortable, and the sole doesn't track in a lot of mud and snow if you wear them inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Been wearing a pair of Doc Martins for the past 3-4 years. Die lube at the latest job is causing the rubber soles to crack though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 you must be easy on boots....i wear out wolverine boots in 6-9 months....garbage boots, especially for the priceI wear out any of the "glue welts" like that. But the stitched Goodyear welts will last me 2 years, and could go a third year (barely), but I just get new ones. I used to have shoe shops repair them, but that costs as much as new boots now. IF you can find a decent repair shop. (There's still one on Parsons Ave, I think.)And yeah, the prices have climbed much higher on boots. Boot price shock here. I was looking for new boots also. So I'm paying attention to what everyone thinks. I just might be switching brands of boot.I've tried a few pairs of 40-60 dollar "foreign" made duty/work boots. They barely last 4 to 6 months. And they aren't good for your feet. Very sad that many supposedly American boots are just high prices on cheap products from off shore.

I wear em for everything they've been used as a stop for a few bike engines to keep em from hitting the floor and other such things. As for the price work paid for em no cost to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I've been wearing one particular style of Carolina's, one that they've quit making a few years ago. Over the past 15 or so years, I've been all Carolina, the past 6-8 the same style. No idea what I'm going to get now, these are DONE...
