      @injunjack:

      IF you're looking for engineer boots, and don't want to spend a fortune, you might want to try Chippewas, Carolinas or Sendra Longhorns. All make very nice boots that'll last long and aren't made just for posing  😉
      Stay away from stelltoes unless you really need them or unless you ride a bike. There is no need for that and it usually makes boot a bit clumsy.

      just my 2 cents worth

      ps. to me (i'm not native english speaker) boots allways mean something you pull on and are at least 10" high, them other boots are…well shoes or "hiking-boots" and so on

      so the question is, when is a boot not a boot?  😉

      PS You've listed some good value boots - I think the Whites and Wescos are bit bit more expensive because of the material and processes - but you pays yer money and you makes yer choice  😉

        I got a pair of each, err, my Carolinas are 16" Poleclimbers, The most comfortable "boots" I've encountered, except my Meindl's. There was no need to break them in at all.

        I'm also always after good value price/quality wise.

              As you might have noticed, I have some sort of fetish or whatever for boots.

              So let's see what everybody has. Pull On's, laced ones, combat boots whatever. More rugged, the merrier.

              I'll be busy next 2 days, but promise to contribute during the weekend.

                I'll start.  Both these on the way to me at the moment:

                (Or something very similar Brett Viberg shipped them to me so I can do some more work on the collabs…...)

                            I wasn't familiar with yuketens, checked them out. Some of their boots looked verry nice…
                            I shouldn't be looking at that kinda stuff, I don't need more boots,I don't need more boots, I don't need more boots…

                                          How does the sizing of those Danners (Super Rain Forests??) compare to WESCO's sizing??
                                          Thanks.
