I personally like Magnums for work since I need somewhat professional looking shoes. Wearing a paid of Reebok boots now. Forget the model and my camera don't zoom out enough to get my whole foot. Pair of 10" no name coal miners boots for riding my motorcycle Justin pull on ropers because I wanted them.
Thanks man. Work on my feet outside everyday. A good USA made boot is a must. Can't speak highly enough about these boots. Used to go through wolverines and timberlands like crazy, 2-3 pairs a year. These are going on 2 years +. Someday I'll just resole these.
My boots go through hell. I work around alkaline chemicals, and everything is steel and concrete.
In the winter, it's frozen mud, abrasive dust, and cold.
In the summer, it's water, abrasive dust, and heat.
Every so often, I spend eight hours in 3" of water. That's always fun.
I've been looking for better boots for the five years that I've been working at the plant. I even emailed Danner, and explained what I do with a pair of boots.
They emailed me back, and admitted that nothing in their lineup would stand up to what I put them through.
Every year, the company gives us $150.00 to spend on boots from Lehigh. If we want something more expensive, we have to make up for the difference.
I've had good luck with Timberlands, so this year, I didn't see the need to fix what ain't broken.
Timberland Pro Rip Saw:
Ten inches of composite toe goodness:
Yeah, the camera cut the photo. They're about ten inches tall.
I like the way these panels are stitched. This is where my boots always split, and hopefully the extra reinforcement will help.
Two inch heels! Yikes.
I like the extra tread depth of loggers, but these are hard to walk in.
It's going to be a while before I'm ready to get them filthy: they have to be oiled and waxed, and I want to seal the stitching.
I'll update this thread with pictures as the year goes by. We'll see how long they last.
