How can you possibly work on farm with livestock and not get mud and manure on your boots. And I didn't say anything about standing around in mud and manure all day, that was Frog Creek. What I said was that I have never seen any leather boot, regardless of the care I gave them, last anything close to 10 years, much less 20 years if worn for work. Even when I was a Trooper I never got more than 2.5-3 years out of a set of boots before the soles were shot and the leather was cracking and rotting, and they were polished at least weekly, if not more. Water, dirt, mud, it all wears them out. And we had Chippewas back when they were USA made and Rockys after that. Decent boots. As far as work, again, how can you possibly work around livestock and not get mud and manure on your feet? As I said, I wear Mucks or Dri Shod, and they crack too. We get the best wear from cheap feed store "barn boots" and just figure 3 months and it's time for new ones.
I'm still shocked that anyone can really see paying $600 for any boot. But then, I don't pay more than $15 for jeans either, or buy $75K pickups, so maybe it's just me. Some folks seem to have a heck of a lot of disposable income.
