Need new boots

14 years wow that a testimony to a good boot!

 

Have you noticed the quality or durability changing much in the last 14 years?

 

I bought a pair of Dr Martin's industrial boots once at the advice of a coworker. Incredibly comfortable boots, but they didn't have the arch support I needed, and I ended up with plantar fasciitis in both feet as a result. Year of hell as a result.

 

I have little experience with them for waterproofing. Attached is the model I have. Good solid brand and as mention really comfortable. Good Luck!!!

I've tried Carolina,Rocky, Red Wing Wolverine over the years and can't get a year out of any of them. The Wolverine Durashocks were the best.
They quit making the style I liked and I bought Danners.
I'm 2 years on the Danners and little sign of wear. They were $10 cheaper than the Wolverines.
Wished I had bought them years ago but I had never heard of them.

 

Which Danner? I wear Wolverine durashocks @ the store during the week. Maybe a different style than you had?

 

They are the ones in the photo above my previous post

 

I bought my cousin a pair of Gore Tex Danners hunting/hiking boots on sale a few years ago (they didn't have my size ). He has been wearing them almost daily since and just loves them. He reminds me frequently.

 

Danner- Vicious
I have a pair of the Vicious hunting boots also which I haven't worn much.
Only negative thing I can say about Danners is they take a long time to break in. Get some gel inserts and boot grease right from the start to speed up the break in .

 

I just ordered a pair of the Timberland Pro Hyperion Ballistic Nylon work boots. The Gore Tex and Vibram sole edged my decision for these boots over the Timberland Pro Resistors I posted above.

 

I like Rocky boots too. They are reasonably priced and seem to last a long time. I'm going on 5 or 6 years on my current pair and there isn't a thing wrong with them.

 

I think I have decided on the Danner Quarry

 

Never was picky about the boots I have worn but a Hydro dude here on the board pushed these on me.
I'll be using them for everything I do so hoping they last longer than a year as with the cheaper ones I always wore.
$325 even with the city discount.

Royer 8

 

Irish setter upland hunter they’re a 8” boot excellent aggressive tread, however you will track mud in the house with them.

 

The Royers will need a work in period but liking them so far. And it was crab leg night.
