Well I could say if I have to explain you would not understand, but to be truthful I actually have no idea what the point is, just a Wesco boot video I guess, and I may just stick with my Danner boots after all.

astark you owe me the two minutes and twelve seconds I lost watching that damn video, lol.

Back to the topic, I have a pair of Milwaukee classic harness boots, $89 shipped, nice boots. My 4473 Red wing boots are the most comfortable boots, waterproof firefigher /EMS boots.

It would appear to me the Danner boots are clearly superior to the Wesco, excellent video 2002flstc.

Any pull on boot is fairly worthless in an accident
If they stay on your feet long enough they still don't have any ankle support

I wear them a lot, it's my most used footwear, and they still look and feel great.

I bought a pair of these 7 years ago and they are fantastic. They were comfortable right out of the box and they have held up very well. In 70,000 miles of riding I have had the heel replaced once at a shoemaker and I sent them back to Chipewa for a full resole service once. For $75 they put a brand new sole and heel on the boot and refinish the leather.

Best of all they are made in the USA, at least mine were when I both them 7 years ago.

I've read through the entire thread, didn't see mention of anyone owning more than one pair and/or rotating boots. I wear dress shoes for work most days, and I don't wear the same shoe 2 days in a row if I can help it. Gotta give the leather time to air out.
That being said, how many of you alternate boots for the same reason?

That being said, I bought a pair of Frye harness boots recently, and they're very comfortable out-of-the-box. Not sure if I want a second pair, or get something different like an engineer or lace-up to alternate into.

I always wondered about the lack of ankle support and to a lesser extent the foot as well. But then motorcycle cops where slip-on boots, though theirs tend to be over the calf.

and they can be a little snugger because they zip up.

I love my Danner Ft Lewis boots (replaced my Hermann Survivors) but got motorcycle boots with a goretex lining because they leaked after riding about 30 minutes in the rain.
