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?

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!!!

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!
