            it's already fixed…
            Cut a piece of damaged leather/hole  off and glued new piece in place....

            The round piece is new leather

              I had a pair of steel toed boots years ago that had a similar hole.  I was kicking logs in a bonfire to shift them closer together (yeah, I know, not smart) and the leather burned.  I just left the steel exposed; I rather liked the way it looked.

                i think this is inevitable with steel toe boots.  just about every construction worker I have seen with steel toe's has this happen at some point in the boots life.  not sure if its because steel toe's give the wearer an urge to kick more shit, or if the steel creates a certain abrasion that wears teh toe down quicker.

                  at least that would be the reason in my case 😉 😉 😉

                    I'll be honest- that's the reason I did the whole kicking burning logs thing.

                      My grandfather's Chippewa boots I had resoled. I only replaced the heel as the front looked fine.

                                what about their Harness boots? I need a pair of boots that can withstand the rainy, cold and overall shitty winter weather in Paris when I ride and I dont want to ruin my cowboy boots, which are designed for the Texas dryness and heat…

                                So I'm pretty much set on the harness type, but I don't know which brand is the best.

                                Any advice would be appreciated.

                                  I've had Frye harness boots for years. I don't ride, but they were very good for in in a number of wet environments, including seafood processors and several feet of snow. The only treatment they got was Obenaufs after I jumped in the Pacific Ocean

                                          Yeah, thise Fryes look pretty. Hard to decide over photos on websites. I need to try them on. I saw some badass Wesco harness boots, too. Cant figure out if the heel is higher on those than on the Chippewas and Fryes…

                                            I'm thinking about the Engineer boots lately (27899) but haven't read or heard much about Chippewa boots. Anyone got this model?
