Ah the age old work boot , what to buy . myself personally have always had a problem finding a boot that would fit due to my narrow feet . For a lo0ng while i was buying Masons and was getting fantastic life out of them and the FIT and were long day comfortable . That was back when they were still made in Wisc. When i ordered in the NEW pair of the same model Number when they arrived i knew something was up as the box did not look the same and even with out the markings it reaked CHINA . The boots were missing the insoles and when i called to inquire about the missing insoles the lady on the other end of the phone line was vary snippy and told me that i could find insoles at any DRUG STORE and hug up . I probably should have sent them back but my toes were hanging out of the other ones . I went and bought a set of insoles and wore them till they started to fall apart three months later . So once again i needed BOOTS NOW and i bought a pair at Toys shoes and candy , they were wolferien (sp) , Water proof , 400 grams thinslate (sp) and did not weigh a ton and somewhat fit . Those lasted four years of hyd oil/ diesel fuel/ gas/ mud / rain / and cow manure . I was somewhat pleased so when they went south i went back and grabbed another pair that looked just like they did . Those were NOT the same BOOT they were not water proof , they were not insulated and the stitching was coming out of them in three months . I had them restitched and wore them out . Went to Charm Ohio to the Amishman's and bought a pair of Chipawa's here two years ago and they are great when it gets cold but not so once the temps get up . i also have enjoyed COLD feet since i was a kid with this pair and my one pair for sever winter weather i can last about four hours out . The one pair of rocky's i bought for deer hunting they also keep my feet warm BUT the soles are vary slippery even on frozen dirt let lone snow and ice and i have several times seen my feet higher then my head not a good thing when carrying a loaded gun left lone the fact that i am at that age of help i have fallen and can't get up. BUT I FIXED them after the last head over heels fall on ice . I bought a box of 100 stainless sheet metal screws and i drilled the soles and heals for a tight fit and screwed in these little short screws then took a Dremal and ground sharp pointed stars in the heads . No more slippy sildie , just don't walk on floors . Bought a cheap pair of lase ups at Fin feather and FUR that i thought would be a nice summer boot as they were water proof and lighter then a tennie and they were on sale for 39.95 Yep they are light as a feather , yep they are water proof , BUT they will cook your feet in temps above fifty degrees . Use them as my fall boots and i did have to have them restitched here after a year and that cost 15 bucks . So what is a good boot ????????? you tell me . i only own boots and one old pair of tennies
