Pretty excited, my first pair of logger boots...Long overdue
Savvy approves...and what they replace-Non-steel toe, shame on me...I know

 

They were "tape--toe" though?

 

What did those set you back?

 

$131. @ Bridgeport Equipment and Tool, 9 stores no more north than OH-saw as cheap as 124. on net-I wanted Chippewa Steel Toe Snakes but couldn't justify 289. Did my due diligence, heavy copper colored leather and good reviews-- www.bridgeportequip.com

They are a full service JD and Stihl dealer---I am happy, and the sexy young thing that helped me was knowledgable and a deer hunter! I spent $6. bucks extra and brought them home

 

I think they ship free over $99.-they feel great, size is true

 

That's not bad.
Hang on to the duct tape boots till ya get them broken in, owie

 

CA 9821 is the non-insulated model,,,I'm wearing them in house now...pretty dang warm but once you achieve the 3yr plan,,,you cut when you wanna...I don't cut in the heat except for gifts any longer...

 

I think this is pretty impressive, double-stitched around the toe on welt...hopefully eliminates need for Gorilla tape...I do my research---is that an internet nerd or savvy customer? Happy as a clam thus far...

 

They look good like they will last

 

Good stiff leather-I'll keep you all updated cause I'm about to break em in....only complaint/concern thus far=strings too thin...prob a way to cut corners, will prob be replaced with some para-cord strings...

 

I have a pair of steel-toed boots I only wear for loading or unloading the trailer,, they have saved my toes while doing that, good chance of getting toes smashed doing that, I need better ones they hurt my feet a lot.
I wore steel toe boots at factory for many years but there were pretty good boots

 

Nice boots...I got a pair of Red Wing steel Toes to wear for field work, 13 days on a constructions site a month or so ago and my feet have almost healed!! Loved the look of the logging boots, but kinda felt like I was wearing high heels! lol

 

I hear ya eatonpcat. I've heard the horror stories and hope to break them in gradually wearing in house in evening and around the wood lot. These have good arch supports and actually are level with the sole though I agree they look a lil like pumps

 

Anyone know what's different about a logging boot vs a normal work boot? And why are the heels always so high?

 

I have these boots. The heel does take a little getting used to. They are comfortabe, but not for walking too long on hard surfaces. I like them for saw work, around the forge when red hot metal and slag falls, welding and when angle grinding down on the floor. Pretty happy so far.

You sure got your money out of the old ones though.

 

Have fun breaking em in. Nice boots

 

Very nice boots!

 

Nice to hear fishingpol, I will only be wearing them in the woods on days I cut/haul and around the wood lot processing-they seem incredibly comfortable to me-I do not have a wide foot and the way they hug my heel and arch is very welcome-I wear knee high rubber boots the rest of the time chasing rocking chair whitetails...Hope yours hold up well...as an afterthought towards bassJAM question, might the heel be designed in part to accommodate tree climbing spikes? To ensure harness stays put on the climbing spurs?

 

I'm wearing them again tonight and they are warm! If we determine they are quality, I could envision getting the uninsulated model as well-they run 114. on the internet, 121. at my retailer, and then there's that hottie there that hunts....hmmmm
