Got me some new Chippewa boots today!

[lmbrman]

I have a little problem, wife calls it a boot fettish, but I figure each saw should have a set of boots

I rotate boots often to confuse even myself about how many boots I own, and the place I buy from will treat them with obenuafs for free daily, resole for $12, and patch leather or replace eylets for free. Easy to become an addict.

this is my regular pair unless it gets cold, then the superloggers come out-

Think your wife may be right ... ... although if you're a pro, they're tools of the trade, just like any saw :hmm3grin2orange:

I'm not missing having a need for them this year. I get by with YakTrax out on the lakes, those would shred the floor in the fish house!

Back when I had cattle, I had an old pair of Sorels with short sheet metal screws in the heels for ice walking.

This winter made up for last year! I would glady pay for caulked boots each year to keep the snow away.

I have and old pair of sorels with no tread left and been thinkin of trying that myself-

That said, my old Danners need replacing too. I don't like steel toes, but I would buy them if my saw had a bar over 20". I'm thinking about getting a pair of Justin lace up work boots.

The Justin Goretex Logger is one of the most comfortable boot I have ever worn, but with that comes a huge down fall. The sole is made of a soft rubber compound that wears out fairly quick. I have owned two pair along with my other loggers in the past six years. The leather is of good quality, and the Goretex has never let me down. The only gripe I have is wearing the soles out. I've thought of having them resoled but wonder if some of the comfort would be lost. I found my first pair at a huge boot shop in TN and when i searched for a pair locally I had trouble finding them. I finally just asked a reputable boot shop if he could order them and had them in three days. You can usually find great deals on them on the net. Just try on some of the other Justin type boots to get your size and order them with confidence. Good Luck.

Anybody ever order/wear a pair of "Double H" boots? Made in the USA, good online ratings, and they look really good!! They're having a sale today at Ranch and Home, and they have a pair for $53.00. . . They're over $200 online. :jawdrop:

The only problem is I wear a 12D, and the only 12 they have there is a 12EE.

$53.00 is a smoking deal though!!

These boots do not have the steel toe. That's okay with me. I finally talked myself into ordering a pair today.

chippewa fan here - my summer boots, fifteen years old, patches everywhere, covered in toeguard, resoled twice

Obenuaf user everyother day-

Tell me more about this 'toeguard' ...... or whatever the black goop in on these boots.

Footwear in USA

In North-Carolina the boot and shoe industry used to be a big industry. Sadly it has all but died.

I like my US made boots. I wish they were a little closer in price to the Chinese stuff. I don't think TSC sells any USA made boots.
Surprisingly enough there are still U.S. companies building work boots but they are very expensive.... $200.00 plus/pair and this is a deal breaker for many of us.

think the stuff is the same as the farm supply brushon bedliner stuff- if you google 'bootguard' you can find it online- my boot guy applies it for $10 and it seals and protects- totally waterproof and good wear resistance, you can buy a jar of it for about $15

it was my last resort to hold the old boots together, but now I put it on when the boots are new to prevent cuts and abrasion to the leather

i love chippewa boots. best boots iver had and im very picky. ive even got a brand new pair just waiting in the box.

as far as toe guard its made primarily for hockey skates. i still have a bottle of it for when i used to play alot in my younger day. i assume you could find it in a sporting goods store. it kinda dries into a hard plastic. i never tried it on anything but skates honestly.

I'll look for some around here. Though I Sho-Goo'd the cut in my boot from the chainsaw, moisture seeps in around it. Sounds like they'd be pretty waterproof again if I splooged some of that over the Shoe-Goo.

I jumped on some of that bootguard stuff today. Steel Toe Work Boot Repair and Protection. Any advice to go with it?
