I think he has actual rotary lift branded covers

 

Pretty sure I'm in the lower 48, but no, not a GX. See below...

Actually it's 2007 - to at least 2020

Thanks

 

Have you contacted Danner? That sounds like a flaw they would take care of

 

Until now I never really looked at their limited warranty. They'd probably just say it's normal wear and tear, or I drilled holes in them . It basically sounds like just even wearing them out of the house would void the warranty.

Boots are one of those wear items in my mind. For spending $250+ I'd like them to last more than 4-6months. I even work at a quarry, and while the quarry 2.0's having the abrasion resistant parts was a good idea, they still didn't hold up in a "quarry" atmosphere. I oil my boots frequently, so I don't really have a problem with the leather wearing out, it's the stitching and the eyelets. And the gor-tex is worthless when the stitching wears out, they work better at keeping the water in than out at that point. One thing I did like was they offered a ceramic steel toe which makes a big difference in the winter.

My Georgia boots have lasted me just over 2yrs now, with the original laces, and the soles are starting to fatigue and making my feet damp.

 

I've had great luck with Danner strykers and acadias. But I don't need such a rigid boot or a steel toe so Salomon 4ds have my heart

 

Which ones you have? Ive had the Romeo's for the last few years. I always have an issue with wearing out the soles pretty quick on pretyt much any brand I've tried.

 

Mine are wescos. The thigh high part is optional.

 

Just their standard 8" steel toe. I've got a few pairs of Romeo's.

 

I don't know anyone who works in the woods and doesn't where Roemo's to the job site.

 

Who all is meeting up at the top pot in issaquah?

 

Wow doesn’t look the same with all the build out stuff in it! So nice!

 

Thanks Bob
Now I have a picture of Jim in thigh high logger FM hooker boots in my head
Gonna take a lot of therapy for this one.
Going to go Clorox my brain now

 

I love my salomons, but they didnt stay waterproof for very long. They have a lot of miles on them now though and need to be replaced.

 

Redwings

 

My experience with their stores haven’t been positive. Rather “snooty” IMO. I liked their loggers, but $250 for a non-USA made boot that they didn’t want to re-sole left a bad taste in my mouth.

 

@bobsuruncle My super special limited edition Skookum D-Ring. Specifically designed for heavy duty pull-outs. I do not use it much..

 

That will chooch!!!

 

Ewww, what you work for the railroad or something?

I'll never buy/wear red wings.

 

dangit i was down in Issaquah today.

 

Yep I wear Salomons daily, I do have a waterproof version as proven by the snow days recently.
