This is boots.

We have a gun thread, a knife thread...why not a boot thread?!

Rules are simple...post your boots; Work boots, Dress boots...they just have to be a pair of boots. **don't post your Yeezys, this is not the place for sneakers or dress shoes** Chukka boots are acceptable.

Brand and model would be helpful too!

rarely wear anything else other than boots of some kind, and 95% of the time its these.

Whites
Smoke Jumpers
All leather construction (no steel shank) made the old way, by hand.

Same here with wearing my boots almost all the time.



Every 16-20 months I buy the same pair.



I wear them everyday for work, yard work,etc all seasons. Just a bit thicker pair of socks when it's under 15-20 out.

As you can see a new pair is coming soon!

You do any wildland firefighting?

i got Hathorn smoke jumpers. same pattern and built by whites, and does not have the support ball like whites. i personally hate that whites have that support ball so went with the hathorns, which were also cheaper.



i also want to pick the northwests up to have as a more everyday walk around boot. the vibram on the smoke jumper gets destroyed when walking on cement or anything thats not forest duff.

I drive a ready mix truck for a living. My boots (even the concrete rated boots) last about 3 months at work and they are destroyed. never took a pic of them because they come and go so fast.

Those are my next pick up then I'm getting a pair of the 8114, you cannot beat how amazing RW makes these.

[E30 Wagen]

Been wearing these for a couple years at my manufacturing job. If i was still running a rollform mill with coolant everywhere they'd probably last half as long but i mainly do mig welding or general labor: http://www.carolinashoe.com/Product?stockNo=CA1520

Lol no, yes its a wild land fire rated boot, since it what I can buy off the shelf at home its what I get. I build pipelines for the oil and gas business. I know a number of loggers and wildland guys, all wear whites or nicks, and I will likely never wear anything but ever again my self.

Kickin.... I know you likely know this already, but there are a couple of other differences between the whites and hawthorn's namely machine stiched lasts on them vs hand stitched on the whites. There are also a couple different grades of hawthorn as well one does have the higher arch in them. Also iirc the whites have a quad lock stiched upper to last vs a tripple lock stitch on some grades of hawthorn
