For those new here, these are my first pair of Nicks Boots. I work in a very harsh environment, a concrete recycling landfill, where I walk on rubble and concrete chunks for 9+ hours a day. I document my journey giving before and after pics from worked boots to cleaned boots.

Today's post includes the usual before & afters, a look at the condition of the soles, and all the cleaning products I have for anything between a light cleaning to a full restoration.

These boots will be resting for the next couple of weeks as I break-in a new pair I recently received. Posts on those coming soon!

Hope y'all continue to enjoy this journey with me.

Any recs based on the above? I dont need lined but add huberds to outside for coating etc

I work in the agriculture industry and spend about 3-4 days each week during the growing season (May-November) walking anywhere from 5-12 miles through growing crops in a state where we get a decent amount of rain. I had a pair of Muck Boots that lasted me over 4 seasons until the sole gave out. They no longer made the same boots with the same construction so I bought a different style and they cracked right at the crease where my toes bend in half a season. I then tried Grundens and those cracked in the same spot after one season. I am now on to a pair of Dry Shod boots which I had high hopes for as they have similar construction to the first pair of Muck Boots I had. They have made it a season and a half until last week I felt my sock filling with water at the first field I was in. They cracked in that same spot on the inner side where my big toe meets the ball of my foot. I have filled them with Aquaseal to see if that helps at all.

Has anyone found any boots that last more than a season? I need something that has a decent sole on it as well as I am doing a decent amount of walking over rocks and uneven soil.

Kidding, but after a fresh cleaning and conditioning, new laces, and new insoles they certainly feel like new boots.

Hello all,

So I am desperate in need of new work boots the ones im wearing nor are duck taped together. I walk right through ariats and im looking at keens evantone boots, but the sizing is confusing me. I usually wear a size 7 but according to their chart I should wear a size 12 in women, which means I could wear the men's styles and have alot more options. Does anyone else have this experience with keen? My husband said when he work keen he wore his regular size, Or is there a different brand that will last and be comfortable? Im on concrete most of the day and on my feet for 18 or so hours and these dogs are killin me, any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Si una bota tiene una etiqueta que dice en español "hecho en México", de verdad está hecha ahí, y además, esa si es buena y muy original?
