[QUOTE="RiverSide Cattle, post: 507900, member: 7362"] I grew up in a Whites Boots household. I inhereted my grandfathers whites when I was 15 and wore them until I could afford my own pair. Cost: My current two pair are costing me around $80 a year for both ($40 per pair) and going down each additonal year they last, going on 9 years now with one resole job done. I wear two different pairs and let them dry out every other day, that is the key to making leather boots last, that and a good boot gease regularly applied (also figured in annual cost) My first pair didn't last as long because I wore them fighting forest fires and didn't get the chance to let them dry out (hard to do when I was wearing them 14-18 hours a day some days). My dad's oldest pair of still working boots is around 25 years old and have been rebuilt twice and resoled numerous times. His cost including the rebuilds and resoles is less than $25 a year but then again they didn't cost much back then. He too destroyed his first pair due to neglect and abuse. In the winter when its cold I wear Whites Pacs (they are a pain to take on and off). Spring/muddy situations I wear Lacrosse knee boots I have both insulated and uninsulated (they are really easy to take on and off). You get what you pay for but things only last as well as you take care of them. Comfortable feet are very important to me and worth the inital investment. Oh by the way Whites are still hand made in Spokane WA. You can watch them make them. Except their pacs I think they are half made in korea and assembled here is the US.
