i searched the site and didn't find much info on it, but some people posted a while ago that they were ordering them. I'm wondering what the general reviews on them are, and how they compare with other boots like wescos and vibergs. i want a pair of linesman boots because when i'm in spurs my arches start to kill me after only an hour or so. how do the red dawgs seem to be in spurs? and how well do they hold up? if they aren't nearly as good as other boots i think i'll look into vibergs because they're made here in victoria and i can't say enough good things about viberg boots, except that they're very pricey. if the red dawgs are good boots for spurs i think i will order a pair. the main thing i'd like to know about is how well they support feet when in spurs. the boots i'm climbing in now are the viberg 155 smokejumpers --> here's a link to them: http://www.workboot.com/155b.htm. i'm pretty surprised with how sore my feet get because the soles are actually pretty sturdy on them (vibram soles) but they don't have a shank. i'm guessing a shank will make things a lot more comfortable in spurs? thanks in advance for opinions.
