        I've got 430's on my work boots and I've liked them so far.  No oily surfaces, but they've been gripping well in caustic, water, and beer soaked floors.  Also seem to do decently well with ice/snow…

          Thanks brother! I'm gonna ask Chris for his opinion as well and try to form some consensus. I know the 705 is like skates on our shop floors without a drop of oil

                              I really like the brown stitching over the black leather, perfect for a work boot or an everyday pair for beating around

                                    People need to stop showing me the domain leathers or I'll need to buy a pair.
