boots

[growler_south]

I need a new pair of boots. My worn-every-day HD steelcaps are getting a bit soft round the edges- the lining's worn out, the soles are smooth and one of them's starting to split, the steel's poking through the leather in a couple of places.

But I'm torn: what to replace them with? a few options:


Logging boots.
+ Tough, strong, durable. Horny as all hell.
- Brown. And would you LOOK at the price?!?!

Update: NZ Safety, $332.33. Loggershop.co.nz: $276.75. Profarm farming suplies: $249.00. Sold! Should arrive on Tuesday... :-)



Firefighter's safety boots
+ Tough & durable, fireproof, black.
- not quite as horny as the logging boots.


General-purpose high-top safety boot
+ good styling, love the red sole
- all those eyelets would soon piss me off


+ More street-oriented sole, kinda good looking, black.
- not keen on the shape of the toe, looks a bit cheap...

Opinions?

OK - that first pair is hot as all hell. Yum. They have my vote!

Depends on how many black pairs ya own...BUT I think those brown ones have my vote as well.

Bitch always beats me to the good replies!

Oooh, ditto that - STOMPERS is a fantastic store.

I wont even write a journal to take you up on that. I need a new pair too

Go for the logging boots... surely you can get them in black if need be?

I might get a pair of logging boots meself, yum!!!

[growler-south.livejournal.com]

Only available in brown, dammit!! I even checked the skellerup website. But then again my current HD boots started life brown, but thanks to the frequent application of black dubbin they're now so dark its hard to tell..

I think you're answering your own question here :) Though that 4th pair you added are rather nice too!

[growler-south.livejournal.com]

Heh heh.. problem solved. And they're on the next block! (I work at 136 Newton Rd)

[beg1n.livejournal.com]

I agree!
These are much more you!

[growler-south.livejournal.com]

But then I couldn't bring them to SF- I'd get mugged in an instant!!!

[furr-a-bruin.livejournal.com]

Guess you can't get WESCO boots there... pity.

[wenchwoman.livejournal.com]

well done! i would've picked the first ones too :)

shall we expect an unvieling?

..of the boots i mean..

Oi! Boots!!!

Well.. if you can find a pair of RICO boots... they're the best for FIreground. If you like Logging... Georgias took me through two forestry campaigns. For every day Stomper boots... you can't beat the classics: DOC MARTENS!!!!! FuckingHorney!!!!!.. and if yer a really bad dog, I'll send you my used boots! Se habla Mastercard!

Re: Oi! Boots!!!

[growler-south.livejournal.com]

Heh heh... I'd much rather your used boots with you in them ;-)

I'll look out for Rico and Georgia boots, but here in NZ we get mostly local stuff..

Yup--the Loggers are the most chub-inducing. I like the big lacing rings, which should allow quick release and ease tightening. The fabric loops might wear fast, though.
My choice is the firefighter, not only for its slick good looks, snappy strap and trick under-tongue lacing, but they also have a front zipper, for that easy on, easy off thang that you might appreciate. I'd buy em if I could find them here.

I like the first pair but I would need black. I read your replies to no the answer.

[smellykaka.livejournal.com]

Probably pointless since it seems about unanimous and you've already decided anyway, but I like the first pair too :)

My personal favourites.
