      I totally understand the attraction and reason for great quality items and i do buy things with that in mind.  On the other hand If u buy say a new car unless its a antique car or a muscle car most only want that car for no more than 5 years and then u want something new..Thats why leasing came about because YES people want long lasting things but they also get tired of them as well and want something new.  My point is if a pair of boots lasts me 4 or 5 years I'm cool with that or if a pair lasts me 10 years thats great too but ill most likely have retired them anyway after a few.  Whether something holds up for a long time eventually it will be a well made  fully intact unwearable item like a 79 year old previous playboy playmate..She was great for awhile but then she got old…So how long do u really want something anyway

        yes you will get tired of them but  its like an old issue of playboy youll just keep on going back at em right? so when that happens you want you boot to still be wearable right?

            Yes u are def right.  The key to having anything worth keeping for awhile is taking care of it by not abusing the heck out of it.  So many of the things we love look great with age & with age comes beauty and damage.  Taking a $500 pair of boots to a construction site will age the boots beautifully much faster but also send em to the cemetery prematurely..Its a double edged sword

                Im going to have my body re-skinned with Chrome excel leather and show up at Demonito's house and insist on a hug. 😘

                But seriously, the wear on the boots shown seems to be isolated to the same area on two different boots.  could that have been chemical exposure? Construction work is rough, and cxl def would not be my first choice due to its softer make up

                I know I did not buy my smokejumpers with CXL to actually fight fires, so..yea.  The closest Ill get to a fire is the stove, unless Occupy Oakland starts their beef again.

                Thanks for the links Lando, gives me an excuse to not work:)

                  i am still into these:


                  can any of you smart folks tell me the possible make-up so i can price them through the appropriate outlet?  going into summer is always the best time to price boots & outerwear.  wonder how that camo vest is going

                        opinion request.  Im having an 8" smokejumper being build,  and as of now, I am having a composite half sole put on.  Its been floating around in my head for some time, and seeing that rough out pic above, that that might be too much boot for a half sole.  Opinions?  Its either a comp half or a full 700.

                          Great boot Monday. When you get some more info on it I'd love to see it.

                          So much for trying to keep things positive eh?
