A Slightly Different Boots Thread
1 Attachment(s)
I recently picked up a pair of these: Drew's Roughout Lace to toe for Wildland Fire use. Just got them Thursday, got started breaking them in Saturday, and fought fire in them all day Sunday. Yes, they are absolutely Hideous, but they work well for their intended purpose. The heels make quite a bit of difference on any kind of incline, and the Vibram soles are double stitched and screwed on so they aren't coming off. They were pricey, but I should get a lot of use out of them. They look a lot better (to me anyway) now that they are scratched up a bit, and covered in ash and dust.
Take care all Blake |
Did you get a pair of thigh highs and a thong with them?? :D

I thought platform shoes went out in the 70s. Now I see that they didn't go away, it's the high fashion wilderness firefighters that bought them all up.
Bet that sole keeps your foot out of the heat. |

Damn straight. I honestly don't know why they are that way, but all wildland boots I have seen are similar in design. |

Mr. Harsey could probably tell you why they are made that way... |
I wish I wasn't at work, so I could link to the Monty Python "Lumberjack Song", dammit, work gets in the way of fun, yet once again.

Nice boots! Don't listen to these guys Air. If you want to prance around like Nancy Sinatra in the middle of a forest fire, that's your business!
She even mentions playing with matches, so you're GTG! ".... You keep playin' where you shouldn't be a playin and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt. Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah and what he knows you ain't HAD time to learn. These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you. Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!" |
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!:lifter

Nancy Sinatra! :eek:
