The fact that there are still people working like this in American-for some reason-gives me hope for the future. That’s surprising too because I work in the trades and see guys busting it everyday. But seeing craftsmen and craftswomen making high quality products does my heart good.

My grandfather made shoes. He catered to making orthopedic shoes. Crazy story was the time someone lent the store a machine to see the bones in your feet with X-rays as live image, see toes wiggle. That was quickly stopped when the realization of the amount of radiation being radiated all around and the company took the device back.

​@@kelliegrase4658no, in harsh environments they're still going to wear out pretty quick. General labor you'd likey get longer life out of them than most boots up to a few hundred dollars. But put them in heavy construction, deep well drilling jobs, any place they're exposed to abrasion, heavy moisture or chemicals and they're going to break down and fail the same as any other boot. Myself and a lot of guys I know don't shell out big bucks on boots when we know we'll be working in environments with those elements (even if only occasionally) and go for something mid range to get decently constructed and comfortable, but leaves more money on the table for the inevitable replacement. It's a value over performance case. Point of diminishing returns and all that.

High quality craftsmanship. I bought a pair of West German made Bass heavy hike/ climbing boots in 1971 ( $49 US) I had Vibram resoling three times performed. I finally donated them to a thrift store there years ago, they had over 22 K miles of hiking, summer and winter, and still had many years of use left. The Current nylon boots can't be resoled, so the landfills fill up with them, as they only last two to three years at best with constant use.

Others like my brother, a size 12, has more trouble. I've had some cheap boots for sure that fell apart within months without even everyday use. Sometimes I shoe goo them and get a few years of part time use. I have about 5 pairs of shoes/boots I rotate depending on my needs for the day. Right now I'm in Hilfiger deck shoes from Burlington coat factory. Great for hot weather when you're working indoors or doing light outdoor work. The soles are too thin for anything more serious. I have some steel toe Scetchers for heavier duty stuff plus a few pairs of work boots for the really brutal stuff. In the winter I often wear insulated rubber muck boots that are easy to slide off when going in and out and unbeatable waterproof protection.

@@Totemparadox Whatever they are, they are expensive as all get out now. I remember i thought my construction boots from Viberg at $200.00 Canadian Dollars was a crazy price but I was assured of the quality by my Grandfather who wore some non-construction type Vibergs and they lasted him years, so I bought a pair. Wish they were still $200.00, closest ones to what I had are now like $700.00. There`s a video up about such a pair, guy says he went through the Fort MacMurry Forest Fire with them, been using them at work for 2.5 years on top of that, he just keeps them treated and cleaned twice a year---I used to do it every season change, his boots though, and not a broken stich nor any splitting of the treads as cheap boots would have been abou four or five pairs at least by now, especially after that fire, it was a big one, went on for like a month and some, almost two if I remember right, am older now and not needing as heavy duty boots so less expensive ones last me a good while now. Take care.
