TEW47 Posted March 22, 2008 #1 Posted March 22, 2008 I am a MSF instructor and I need a waterproof boot that I can stand and walk in for eight hours. What do you recommend up to $150? I don't care if they are not motorcycle boots since most of the time I will be just wearing them on the range. tew47
Wrongway Posted March 22, 2008 #2 Posted March 22, 2008 check out http://www.newenough.com . They have lots of good boots, especially on the closeout page and we can get a buck for every purchase there.
Blackjack Posted March 22, 2008 #3 Posted March 22, 2008 Great answer, Allan! I always go first to New Enough (especially the Closeout section) when I am looking for gear. Aside from great prices, they provide exceptional Customer Service. If you can't find what you are looking for, check back again soon, because they move a lot of merchandise through that department. Additionally, they are very fairly-priced in all other areas of their online store. Terry
DkKnight Posted March 22, 2008 #4 Posted March 22, 2008 I would got with a gotex hunting boot. I bought some for duck hunting that are waterproof, warm and comfortable at Sportsman's warehouse. They have a 1500gm Thinsulate lining that is rated for cold temps. They were about $180.00 but they had some in about the $150.00 range as well. Cabela's would have them as well.
Hart Posted March 22, 2008 #5 Posted March 22, 2008 Try Rocky Hunting Boots. They have different insulating levels, are waterproof and are very comfortable for wearing all day long. Not cheap but in the $ 150.00 price range. John
Double D Posted March 22, 2008 #6 Posted March 22, 2008 :2cents:I wear the Tour Master WP Solutions. They are water proof but let your feet breath. I wear mine all day at work when I ride (which is most of the time) and they are very comfortable.
TEW47 Posted March 22, 2008 Author #7 Posted March 22, 2008 Bought a pair of Herman Survivors Commander boots at Wally World for $40, extremely confortable. Will try them for a while. Thanks for all the suggestions. tew47
KiteSquid Posted March 22, 2008 #8 Posted March 22, 2008 Slip some Sorbithane insoles in whateaver boot you buy. They are GREAT!!! I used them in my Navy Boonockers on the metal decks onboard ship and LOVED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ArcsSparks Posted March 22, 2008 #9 Posted March 22, 2008 You'll not find a more comfortable boot than Doc. Martins they even look like motorcycle boots I have the 8" and (had 'em 2 years) they will be my next work boot. I'll buy another pair for riding
Guest KitCarson Posted March 22, 2008 #10 Posted March 22, 2008 Bought a pair of Herman Survivors Commander boots at Wally World for $40, extremely confortable. Will try them for a while. Thanks for all the suggestions. tew47 Those are very good boots.. I found them a few years ago and use two pair a year. I used to buy Danner work boots.....or RedWing, or some other expensive boot.....they seldom lasted me for a year and they got to where they cost up to 300 dollars. I am tough on work boots.......wet.....mud....welding.....using my feet as a rake covering a ditch.......standing in water for six hours.......wading in the mud...... The very comfortable and nice fitting Commander from Walmart is just as good a boot as the expensive ones.....last me just as long......I suspect if used only as a riding boot and taken care of......they are easy a ten year boot.........for $40 bucks......Yep I agree......they are a good and comfortable boot.
