   Whites are starting to break in. Where my Wesco are, I don't know. Somewhere with FedEx off for a rebuild.

     @NYbill Makes me sad. I used to work in a shoe factory that made boots like that (I was an upper cutter)... but we know what happened to American shoe factories. On the other hand, when the factory closed, I trained as a computer programmer and retired at 60.

     @cenbe Yeah, not many places left to get quality work boots these days. I realized 8-10 yrs ago I was going through 2-3 pair of $150-$250 boots a year (usually wearing right through the leather at the steel toes).

     $500-700 sounds like a lot for a boot! But, they are made for your feet and top quality. I had my Wesco Jobmaster's for 6 and 4 years (two pair) and they just went back for a rebuild.

     Good quality boots end up cheaper in the long run.
