I have a pair of Thorogoods and love them. Would love to have some Russel Moccasins

…. I just looked up the Russel Moccasin…what in the jumped (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is so special about them that they cost $ 1,000 lol

X2...after finding out that Redwings went to China (at least part of their boot line did), I bought a pair of Thorogood work boots and absolutely love them...would never go back to Redwing even if they brought it all back to America. These moc toe work boots are twice as comfy as Redwings were and last longer. Just my opinion....

… coondagger…. I asked you a question and I expect an answer boy

…. Boy if you don’t answer with a quickness I’m gonna buy a pair just to put up your butt….you hear me ?

… I’m buying this pair just to kick coondagger right square in the butt with




…. Right in the butt with ol wyman…can’t wait till they come in

ugly lookin piece of leather

Wesco’s and Nick’s are both good if you’re a leather boot guy. I’ve been using the Hoffman armor pros for a the last 6 years, I’ve been happy with them. I just recently bought some Hoffman kodiaks to try out, they’re a mountaineering style boot like the armor pros, super comfortable, pretty waterproof, and plenty durable. I always accidentally run a saw chain across my toes within a week of buying new cork boots, never fails, and the armor pros and kodiaks have so far allowed me to retain 10 toes

I have 3 pair of Thorgood (sp?). But a new pair ever 2 years. Once broken in, they are a great boot.

For that price Savell the boot should kick for ya. A lot of leathah in that boot.

I like the American made Danners. Not cheap, but not $1000 either

Redwing 606

Thorogood is in the process of building a new 15 million $ factory in Marshfield, upgrading from the old one

I have paid over a $1000 for a pair of shoes (If they are leather and lace up, they are shoes, not boots!) Caulk shoes (not cork) that were custom made by Kulien Shoes, Sadly they retired and are no longer in business. I could not wear any others as a result of a broken foot that healed wrong. $1000 and that was 25 years ago. I did see a pair in their shop with a price tag of $1800.
My last pair is officially worn out and I have contemplated buying maybe Nicks or even Whites (I used to not be able to wear Whites for long.) but it seems like a lot of money for the use a 70 year old would get out of them.
A $1000 seems a lot but when you are wearing them every day all day a comfortable shoe is a must and Kuliens were comfortable although heavy. They weighed in at about 10 pounds.

I also have white smoke jumper work boots and need to send in again to get new soles and heels again .
I also have a pair of dress packers boots which rarely get worn .

When they give up the ghost I'm seriously considering Wesco boots , since the new White boots are now owned by Lacrosse if I remember correctly .

Do any of you all get boots resoled? Probably hard to find a place to do it anymore.

Lucchese and Tony Lama boots are still made in El Paso, TX as far as I know.

Been wearing Thoroughgood boots for years. Best boot out there IMO. I had one pair that was resoled 3 times before the uppers gave out.
You look around, about any larger city will have someone that resoles boots/shoes. Costs 50 to 75 bucks a pair for the resole.

Redwing 402 here. I’ve been wearing them for decades, still made in the US of A.

I bought a pair of Whites boots back in 2001 due to non-healing foot problems. $400. Most all expensive boots are custom fit, and usually rebuildable. But they do fit like a glove, perfect. And if you need to spend time on a ladder or pack heavy there is nothing better.

You measure your foot and leg and they make them to your measurements.
Husband has 2 different sized feet and they made him boots that fit each foot.
I have a pair of Sheep Hunters that look like new after 25 years.

Sorry I didn't get back to you quick enough Savell. I'll try to be better

Now that you've seen the price tag you know why I don't own a pair....lol

Ok …. Just don’t make a habit out of it

Wait a sec....

Ariat's not on that list?

Most of their boots are made overseas:

Where are Ariat boots made?

"Most Ariat boots are made in China and Mexico. Some boots that are part of the Two24 are made in the USA, but not all of them. On their website, they make it clear exactly where each boot is made, so be sure to check the listing page."
