No argument here. Dem boots look fine. Thanks for the PBR. I've had a
bunch 'o' boots in my time, too. I loved my 10" pair of Red Wing's,
but somehow my feet grew a size and I had to give 'em away. Recently I
went to Chuck's Boots here in town, and they had a pair of Wolverine's
that caught my fancy, so I bought those. Supposed to be waterproof,
thinsulate, goretex, yada yada. Wolverine makes the boots for the
MoCo, so they must be good <snerk>.

Great advice. That is how I found the black leather walking "service"
shoe I wear. They have air cushion soles and my dainty feets love
them. Lots of the new military/police boots I have tried to get on my
feet are sewn too far up the tongue and I can't get my high instep
into them. I guess it's a result of companies trying to make them
water-proof to a higher level. Have you had any trouble keeping them
tight when using the zipper?
