Sir Fallsalot Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 When i find a boot i like i get pissed off when they discontinue them or hike the price up. DM's are a fashion statement now so you have that to deal with I've got a pair of CAT boots that are now about 30 years old no chance of replacing them for the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Just now, Clive said: I will stick with the Para boots, they even come broken in. That is what i liked about the CAT ones i bought they didn't need any breaking in, comfy from the 1st day. like the work boots i buy now well work buys, i like a tall boot but work will only pay about £50 towards boots the ones i want are £75 so i settle for the shorter ones as i'm tight lol but god their comfy, warm and dry the only thing i don't like is the soles don't last long before they leak These are the work boots i usually have could walk in them all day and most days i do https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114021268873?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=414305558527&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I have a pair of Timberland work boots, the Profi line that you buy in work safety shops not on fashion stores. They’ve got a composite toe cap and are made of leather, not suede, ultra grippy soles and impact cushioning, best boots I ever wore and used to really help go through winters on the warehouse. They were half the price of a normal Timberland boot when I got them, and a lot better built.  After abusing them for years, my brother now uses them on the field in Croatia when he goes to construction sites, I highly recommend them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
