Post by: GoldTip on December 18, 2009, 10:19:41 AM: I looked at them and am unsure exactly what the hell Ostrich hide would do to improve the boots, other than maybe make you stand out as a tree hugging yuppie when you walk down the streets of Aspen, or Seattle.

Pretty much this, same reason someone would buy a escalade who lived in Seattle. Status baby, see me I have more money than common sense. "What this thing has 4 wheel drive? How do I use that?" "Oh I may want to drive over to see the wolves in my escalade yea thats it!"

Post by: Red Dawg on December 18, 2009, 03:53:58 PM: ya most likely lots of shipping and tariff costs added to that product. I have a hard time paying 425 for work boots I dont think I could pay a grand for something like that. But mostly because you can buy a great product in schnee's or whites pac boots and they are American leather put together buy American labor.

morons, buy hand crafted boots from a local boot maker and spend 1/2 the money and keep a local business open.
