That’s a testament to a quality footwear right there.

@ZiaHunter , a nice selection; my current selection are two pair of packers, a pair of Alaskas that I had the damaged safety toes removed (post fire academy), Drew’s Riding boots by Whites and the Cowboy packs.
@7.62willdo, 10 seasons wildland firefighting with numerous soakings in retardant and foam, then several years inspecting paving jobs (asphalt, tar, and Portland Cement Concrete) put the nail in the coffin of my Smoke Jumpers. More the chemicals than wear. My first pair of Thoroughbred Packers died from working in a feed lot and soaking up ankle and calf deep effluent. Still my most comfortable foot wear.
Thats some long term wear. One has to appreciate how long it takes to wear out and resole just one pair of those boots 3x, but 3, it would take me 30 yrs.
The most damaging thing to leather boots is wading through a muddy horse stall. Horse piss will destroy a pair of leather cowboy boots in less than a year.
My mom had to buy me a new pair of boots at the start of each school year.
I should note that both of my dead pair were over 20 years old when they got retired. Whites wouldn’t rebuild them Because of damage to the uppers. My others are going on 20-25 years and still going strong.
A funny side note, my Grandfather had a set of Whites Caulk boots when he was working for the USFS in the 1930’s. In the late 1940’s he was transferred to Sanderson Tx. as a Border Patrol officer. He took the Whites in to a local boot maker to have them re-soled to something practical. The boot maker was flabbergasted in that he had never seen caulk boots before.

I hear that! I was going through a pair of Justin’s every 6 months before I got my Whites.
I bet your grandfather could tell some stories, especially on riding the river in Sanderson in the 40's.
Thats one desolate area, or it used to be. As one Texas writer described it, Sanderson was just there to keep the rest of the world patched together.
At 69, will never have to buy another pair and sending two pairs back to have them resoled this week. Of the pairs I own my favorite are the Otto White Vintage Packers. Unfortunately I don't think they are available anymore.
You left the part out where you had to have sex with your rich simp to consummate the marriage.I'd put a profile on Tinder, get matched with a rich simp within the next 0.003 seconds, get married, divorce him by 8pm, take ALL his shit via the court system, be back in bed at 11pm. Assuming I wake up the next day back to being a man, I should have enough to open my gun store complete with a custom muzzleloading and BPCR build shop in the back.
Talk about boots getting destroyed. Wheelbarrows. Using a steel bed wheelbarrow to haul out wet stall bedding, has such a serious effect on the steel, you can literally watch it melt before your eyes.
Finally we purchased a highend, fiberglass wheelbarrow in 1989, been through several handles and tires, but the bed is still going strong to this day…(just put a new handle on it. A pair of handles today cost more than the entire wheelbarrow cost when new 35 years ago.)
Also 69. I would need a knee replacement to get use out of the resoles.
I loved my Danner TFX G3 Desert boots but the tread wears fast and they can't be resoled.
1" box square steel, adds weight, but you won't have to replace em.
It'll last longer than your back.
Crackers are dogfuckers but at least they're not dog and cat eaters like her flatfaced people.
she failed to ask our DEI leaders in the government about using the term 'Snow Roach' and the need to eliminate all snow roaches.
If government officials are able to say it,,,,, does it become a term of endearment?
Being held accountable for her actions is a new thing for her?
I prefer to be known as a Bleach Demon.
I prefer Porch Honkey or Ghost Cricket.
My Danner hikers will be 26 this year, on their third sole I believe. I also have a pair of their Fort Lewis that are somewhere around 12 years old now. Both American made, both holding up great.

Royal Navy jokes never get old…
Sad fact… from the time it was discovered that citrus prevented scurvy… until sailors were issued lime and lemon juice was more than 200 years while the admiralty debated the efficacy of vitamins.
Yet now they force fake vaxx on sailors with no research because… genocide.
