Thanks, they are getting broke down pretty hard so I might have to regulate them to yard duty. But my Rossi boots had a air pocket break in them so they squeak when you walk.moishlashen wrote:Those look sweet T-bone (they remind me of my Iron Rangers )
I've had a boot or two that squeaks. All that leather trying to figure wtf to do.toxicavenger wrote:Thanks, they are getting broke down pretty hard so I might have to regulate them to yard duty.

They're extremely popular with the well dressed young ladies on campus. A dress Wellington would be something entirely different though.dukerules wrote:How about a good pair of Wellingtons? Don't laugh...I spent all day at an incredibly muddy music festival today, and I would have paid good money to have a pair on my feet.
You can't resole most Blundies or Rossi, they both have a few select models that you can and that is all. The Blundies are made in China and the soles on two pairs I have own came apart right away. So I only buy Rossi's now. But I take the insert out of my Rossi's and put in Superfeet, so I am sure your inserts will work also.HapaHapa wrote:I'm looking for a good pull-on boot, mid height something like Rossi Boulder or Blundstone 500 series. Remove able insert so I can use my own with high arch (WalkingCompany). Also able to be resoled.
Suggestions?
Does this rule out anything polyurethane or Vibram sole?
Sorry, I don't know shit beyond my Redwing steel toes.
I love mine. They're made in the USA and come in multiple widths too.mechnut wrote:Am I the only one here with a pair of L.L. Bean duck boots? They look good, mud and water proof, and they can be resoled. I have two pair and one of them is almost thirty years old.
I had them when I lived on the East Coast but we don't get that kind of weather to wear them here.JP Chestnut wrote:I love mine.

These are great. Going to weigh these against the Rossi.CGSshorty wrote:How about the Red Wing Beckmann Chelsea boot?
I wear the regular ones in Spring and the shearling version in the Winter.toxicavenger wrote:I had them when I lived on the East Coast but we don't get that kind of weather to wear them here.JP Chestnut wrote:I love mine.
