Yeah, baybee!
My new Redwing logging boots came in, replacements for my finally-crapped-out Carolina logging boots.
http://www.redwingshoes.com/productdetails.aspx?prodid=1148I put them on the first time and they were just plain
right. The Carolinas I had to fiddle with and find the right aftermarket insole. These new puppies have the same insol as my other three pairs of Redwings. No need for aftermarket insoles at all.
Steel toe, steel shank, 9" high. I'll get them worn in a bit and then go after them with some Kiwi. I also need some black boot laces. Brown laces are Just Not Right on a black boot.
• Black Chrome leather loggers boot
• Durable, high-traction Vibram® Tacoma unit sole
• ASTM approved for toe impact and compression
• Electrical Hazard rated
I got them for 10% off 2007 prices. Helps if you have bought three other pairs of boots from the same guy over the years and you introduced your buddy to him, who has bought five pair over the years.
Ought to last me many a year of hard work outside & hiking and will polish up fine for casual wear.
