And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Reminds me of the story in the news recently where a couple of thieving idiots went into a shoe store and stole a whole lotta right foot shoes off the show racks. Intelligence not required for that job!
Fifty years or so ago, that style of boot was called a "construction boot", or some such, and had a defined heel, rather than that wedge thing. I can't find that style now.
I cannot recall exactly but Red Wing had Red Wings made entirely in the USA with USA materials, they had China made with USA materials, and then China made, China materials. I think that was true
Those are "cute " I guess, if you need a different colored pair of boots to match every outfit . I'm sure the soy latte mocha metro sexual crowd loves them. Think I will stick with my Danners though .
I've got a pair of Danners that I use for hunting. They are warm, supportive and super comfortable....I can be outdoors all day and not think about my feet. Just this past weekend I retreated the leather with Huberds Shoe Grease. It works great, but I have to admit that it smells like an oil refinery, so to not anger the wife, I apply it outdoors and let the boots stay out overnight.
Not a used one in the bunch ...

ReplyDeleteNever liked that style of boot. Seems a little... effeminate ? Or maybe it's more of a West Coast style type thing ?
ReplyDeleteSame thing.
DeleteI alway thought of them for working indoors or on solid pavement, not in the bush. Easy on the feet but slippery. YMMV.
ReplyDeletetrue. good farm boot, too
DeleteI need Vibram lugs for what I do, and speedlaces to make it quick.
