Used to like them. Had a good run with some years ago that looked similar to deep cover's picture but without the orange bands. I liked the textured toe stuff as I blow through the regular leather toes quickly. Then the f ers went and discontinued them :censored: they were honestly the best most comfortable pair I have ever had I have tried on a few pairs since but each one had some kind of manufacturer issue from chunks of the soles coming out to rough seams inside of them.

My next pair of boots need to have that rubber toe cap. Last 2 pairs of steel toes have shown steel within 3 months of wearing them. The boots still have quite a bit of life left in them, but the exposed steel makes them look haggard.

I have been getting red wings and they have like a rino liner coating you apply to it. But my last pair they had this new stuff I tried (sorry the name escapes me). It's almost like an epoxy soccer players and ice skaters use it. There both decent but depending on what type of work you do it does need to be reapplied and once done (at least the first type) will come off easier again. My epoxy stuff has been on about 9 months and is worn to the leather right now.
Maybe I should just actually rino line my boots??? :laughing:

When I am in a mixed business / industrial environment, I wear a pair of Timberland Pro Helix Titan (shown below). I hate to say it, but they are my favorite boot ever so far.

When I am doing rough stuff, I wear a pair of Georgia boots that just keep going, and going. :thumbsup:

I will never buy Timberland boots again.. their "roll down" advertising sealed the deal for me..

Last pair I bought got great care from silicone spray.. I never had a wet toe stain on them...

But one day I was putting in receptacles and all the stitches popped holding the leather boot to the sole...

So that will never happen again to me using their cheap ass boots..

Every pair of Timberlands I have ever owned were ; hot, uncomfortable, heavy, stiff, and wore out in a matter of months. I am on year three of my Irish Setters, finally getting resoled at Red Wing factory as we speak. Wearing my backup pair of Red Wings, comfortable but I can't wait for Irish Setters to get back.
