I have a pair of White's Smoke Jumpers and I think it only took a couple weeks to get mine.
I'd go Redwing for a temp boot.

I'm in need of recommendations for a good pair of boots. My current boots are on there last leg and I need something in the mean while as I wait for my Whites to come. My price range is $200-300.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Go to the redwing outlet in Bellevue. Comfortable boots in your price range and that have a wide selection.
Irish Setter makes a wide range of work boots that are comfy,long lasting and affordable IMO
I believe the Irish setter brand was bought out by red wing. Picked up a pair of their boots this week. Comfortable so far.

White's turned my order around pretty darn quick as well, but I think now is about the time when they start getting super busy shipping boots ahead of fire season. You might want another pair of boots to wear off and on while you break in your White's though, the break-in is a bear but afterwards they'll be the most comfortable and best fitting boots you'll ever put your feet into!!

I can only wear Red Wings now. Worth the money. Just wished they still made the Irish Setter hunting boots that I used to buy. Time to pick another model I guess.

Go to White's and see if they have some reconditioned boots for sale, if you can do it that way. Why wait for your boots, then spend another $2-300 on top of that.

Yep. Love mine. Smoke Jumpers.
The White Elephant in Spokane carry Whites boots as well.

Danner Rainforest
:yeah: I've had a pair of these for almost 4 years.

Not too many manufactures have the extra wide width any more. Danner was bought out by LaCross who in turn was bought out by ABC Mart. They did away with the boots for us with really fat feet.

Kuliens in Centralia makes custom made shoes so they could make any size including super wide for you.
They are top of the line but carry a top of the line price. I bought my Caulk shoes there until I retired and have a pair of vibram soled shoes with 6" tops.
They start at around $800 and go up depending on how you want them customized. I have seen 18 eeee sitting on the counter waiting to be picked up so I'm sure your fat feet would be no problem.

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.

I've bought a few pairs of Red Wings there, but never in the clearance side. There's always nothing good for me in there. I always end up on the full retail side. Love the boots and the service is always great.

Georgia Boots, they come with vibrant soles. Really good boots in your price range
Not the new comfort core style. they suck

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.
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.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.
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.
