Personally I like most the Blackhawk II of the lot followed close by the uninsulated Acadia. Depends what height you prefer. If you haven't experience with an eight inch or higher I would shoot for one of the pairs in six inch.

Anyone have experience in custom orders from White's Boots? I want not just special fit but specific very specific make. A semi lace-to-toe in six inch with quarter, counter and backstay in navy chomexcel, and vamp in a natural french calf with un-decorated toecap. Curious if I ought go with them or different bootmaker as I am at about point where ready to drop the coin.

IDK about the price they were provided by my work at no cost. I work in a shipyard and they hold up well. I am always a fan of vibram soles. I haven't sprinted in them so idk how well they would do but for everyday wear I have no complaint. I also had the quarry AT as a farm boot. It help up for 2 yes of constant use. My only gripe was that the tread was too deep and help stones and mud.

>surfaces you would be working on
mostly concrete, not much extra safety features are needed besides steel toe
>how much you would also be willing to pay
Any price <$800, provided the price somewhat correlates with the quality and longevity of the shoe.
>whether or not you care more about looks than safety
I care that it has a steel toe and will last at least a year of heavy wear. Any aesthetic value on top of that would be wonderful, but I'm aware I'm not in the position to be picky.

>>13239861
I have steel toe shoes, but they look godawful and are only about $100 so they'll eventually need replacing.

Just thought I'd contribute these boots in case anyone is looking for a functional, stylish, and versatile combat boot.

The Rocky 10" Side-Zip Paraboot. Honestly, one of the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. Right out of the box they mold to your feet due to the supple, unlined full grain leather. The toe and heel are polishable, so they are relatively easy to keep uniformed if need be. The outsole has an EVA footbed contour which provides plenty of comfort with long hours on the feet. With little to none break in time, the leather softens up nice and smooth, and responds even better with a coat of Obenauf's oil. The zipper itself is YKK, extra tough for rough turns and sudden movement.

I have lived in these for a little while now and can safely say they are one of the best boots outside of some very large name brands. High quality.

Cheers~

Found these “1940’s Work Boots” at a local vintage store for $200. They fit really well and I thought they looked pretty good. My main concern is how long they’d last given their age and how they’ve been resoled multiple times. Also $200 seems pretty steep. Any thoughts?

They don't look near so old nor do they look worth what they are valuating them. I highly doubt they are even ten years of age based on pattern of wear.

They look to be a Thorogood 1892 that has seen maybe a few seasons beatings before the owners needed quick cash and your vintage store is looking to rip someone off.

How much you be willing to pay? Two hundred-fifty limits your range of options. Save a hundred year and there out of your next couple paychecks so you have about four fifty and then you'll have incredibly broad range in comparison. Huge leap in quality as well.
