[AT] Work boots

[charlie hill]

Spencer,  I don't have any luck with fancy big name boots.
Particularly lined and insulated ones.
I always look for something from Carolina Boot or Georgia Boot
and I want them to be all leather uppers, unlined with Goodyear
welt so they can be repaired and resoled.
Then keep them well oiled.  If Farmer is reading he is the real list
expert on boots.

Subject: [AT] Work boots

I'm sitting here putting on my workboots this morning - The ones with the 
rear cuff torn up, the tongues torn up and the leather pulling away from the 
steel toe. I am so tired of work boots that don't last.  These are only a 
little over a year-old.

These are Timberlands, and came with great reviews on the Internet and the 
recommendation from a friend. However I'm very disappointed in them and in 
fact been disappointed in my last two or three.   The last boot that did 
well for me was actually a Vasque hiking boot, and lasted for years. But 
they don't make that kind anymore.

I figure if anyone in the world knows about work boots it's the folks on 
ATIS.  Can anyone recommend one for me?   One that lasts more than one 
season on the farm?

Thanks in advance,

Spencer
