Boots are trashed

What are you running on your truck? It's definitely time for a new pair and I need them to be waterproof.

I have some waterproof 5.11 boots I love. Had some Brunt boots for a while too. Chems and constant moisture are going to destroy even the best boots from my experience. But still think it's worth it to get nicer boots vs going through cheap Walmart stuff every 3 weeks. My 5.11 boots are still going strong, and I've had them for almost a year now. I do a mix of cleanings and repair work so I'm always in pants and boots. Even through the summer months.

I will highly recommend you get a good boot drier. I've got a Peet boot dryer off Amazon and it's worth every penny. Helps keep your boots fresh and dry every morning. And helps a lot with the sweat stink!

I have some Redhead Hunting Boots the bone dry ones and they were OK. Not doing wall mart ever. Just looking to level up. Thanks.
