These responses just crack me up. He looks at just the $$$, not quality, customer service, product, and product support when the shoe needs refinishing.
Guys will spend $$$$ on the bike but nothing for personal protective devices.

Additionally maybe we should start a thread for Cheap Crap only and despense with the dumb cracks about quality products.

Ive been wearing these from Skechers (sp) for the past couple of years , gone thru 2 pairs and like them. Less than $ 70.00 and they are leather and waterproof.

Last pair were HD pull-ups with side zippers. Most comfortable boot I ever owned and I could wear them all day and night. Looking at probably lace-ups but wesco has some pretty nice pull-ups I think I'll check out.

I rock the HD Boots (Yes, the ones made in Indonesia I think) with the zipper up the side.
