Its hit or miss on what you will find there in your size. But since I hardly ever make it that way, I had to check it out. My boots were shot.

Gotcha. But I was headed north in a hurry lookin' for the nearest outlet mall Depends store. Never did find one, but made it home anyway without causing a HazMat incident on I-71.
My ass was shot.
I'm wondering the same about the bigger trees, I'll be sure to let you know how she does.
Thanks again.
Andre.

I bought a new pair of Rocky's about 2 weeks ago. Sure makes me miss my Wolverines. The Rockys make you appreciate the end of the day when you can take them off though.

I actually broke out a brand new pair of Timberland Titans for the GTG. Been using them a few years now, and they are the most comfortable work boot I've ever tried. Safety toe is titanium instead of steel, much lighter. For walk around boots, Ariats are the most comfortable I've ever tried.

For a fat guy who walks on concrete all day, US made Red Wings are the way to go. I haven't tried their China made shoes.
I used to buy Rocky because I felt I was supporting Ohio workers at one time and was proud to make the trip and buy. Since they went China on me I dont feel the same way anymore.
Reason I liked Rocky was they used carbon or fiberglass shanks. Shoes could get through metal detectors without having to remove my shoes daily.
Plus the $189 duty boot was only $50 at the Nelsonville location and I would pick up 3 pr at a time. Last time I was there I took home 1 China pr to try when the others wore out. I'm still on the China pr and they are no where near the US made boots in comfort or build quality.

OK Mike. Your task for the day is to have Shiela drive you to the store and pick up a new cable for your camera

Sheila says..."Is that @%$&^^$% crazy??? I drove you all over hell and half of Ohio this weekend and The car isn't moving today"

She will do it, and she will like it!:biggrin: Here's what you need to do Mike. You've got to bribe her by offering to take her out to eat, or something similiar.

Ive worn Rocky since '90 and have loved them. I remember the black Eliminator's. Ive now got a pair of the Bear Claw. Most comfy boot Ive ever had. Sure liked them a lot better than Danner Rain Forest.

I thought you'd know Sheila better than that by now!
Not much way to coerce her if she says NO!

Better the promise of a meal that she didn't have to cook than diamonds or gold.
To my lovely wife they are but sand and glitter.
Well.............except for one small band of gold!

Darn, the more the merrier as is said. Wish you would have been there too, it was as you said.
