[Shop-talk] work boots

[old dirtbeard]

Hi all,

I concur, but I also would like to recommend Chippewa:

Great USA hand made boots -- I love them.

I have a pair for the motorcycle and another for work. When I took them in 
to the shoe repairman, even he was impressed (damage was from a high-speed 
take-down on the Harbor Fwy here in Los Angeles -- elderly woman whacked me 
in rush hour traffic).

You will not be disappointed, please trust me on this one.
