Work boots?

[HawkCreek]

I have both white smokejumpers and nick hotshots.  Hotshots are much higher quality imo.  The whites will need a rebuild this coming winter after 2 years. I got the nicks for $50.

Whites quality has gone to hell, I'll not give them another dime until they start building boots as good as they used to. I've only got 6 months on my Nicks I hope they are better than the current offerings from whites.

Ime nicks are mucher higher quality than whites.

although it has been a few years, my white's stood up way better than nick's. the nick's had to be rebuilt twice in as many years and then didn't fit afterwards. talked to "the Man" himself and told him about the story I got from the guys in his store about glue getting frozen and that's why my boots came apart, etc. and he basically said that never happened. called me a liar I guess.
plus that crap they sell for grease is junk, better luck rubbing a candle on your boots.

To early to tell on my Nicks but my last pair of Whites needed a full rebuild after less than 2 years. After the rebuild the eye hooks kept pulling out, I returned them twice to be fixed the second time they charged me $15 to sew a scrap piece of leather over the holes and "repair" the two missing hooks but did nothing for the other hooks that were ready to come out in another good lacing or two. I've never had a pair of Whites that I thought took any break in time while my Nicks were clearly made of sturdier leather than any other brand of boot I've tried. Time will certainly tell, if my Nicks end up being junk I won't try them again but so far they are more impressive than Whites.

Cabelas brand boots are guarenteed for life. Save your receipt. They honor it and its awesome. I will never have to buy another pair of boots....

I had a pair of Redwing Logger type boots with the Vibram sole. I was kicking the dirt off of them one day on my fuel tank steps and tore the soul off all the way to the heel darn near. I had those boots for 10 years. I called the store and they sent them back to Redwing and they replaced both souls on the boots at no charge for anything......
