I really can't remember whether I've replied in this thread or not, but what the hell, more than once is better when it comes to sex and all good things as my old man used to say.

Me, it's RM Williams, Blundstones, cowboy boots, Palladiums, or if it's the middle of winter here with minus goodness knows what, Sorel Caribou boots.

Some of the best damn boots I have ever owned are Justin ropers, they don't cost an arm or a leg by any means, they're sturdier than most flashy brands, and you can wear them with a pair of jeans or even dressed up. There's a US member here - sorry forgotten who - who wore them as flying boots during his time and swears by them as well.

If you're after a good, old fashioned, tough old pair of boots look no further.

Smithy,
Your right, can't go wrong with a pair of Justin Ropers.Yours look like they're in amazing condition.
While doing a job in Fort Worth, TX, I picked a pair of Red Wing 8188 Rough out Pecos boots - not as refined or well made as Justins, but very comfortable boots as well.

RM Williams Comfort Craftsman's. Have three pairs. Great to wear for prolonged periods and almost 'matchy matchy' with most of the A-2s.

That was back when that pair was still fairly newish Grant but they hold up well if you condition and polish them from time to time.

Those Pecos look great, I like them a lot.

Have a pair that I got back in 2004. They've been resoled twice and they're pretty beaten up but still going strong. I'll post a pic later.

I#m still rearranging my "mancave" and once in a while "find" some stuff i purchased couple of years back:

boots which go along with flight jackets are off Course Corcorans - i bought them back when i was still doing some reenactment but was always satisfied with the craftmanship

i bought this pair from a guy which told me These should be "USN flightdeck boots" - where brandnew when i got them and since then used at work once in a while - soles are "BILTRITE" with steeltoes in the tipp

Almost identical boots just lower - where also sold as USN boots - same sole as the "flightdeck boots" - also with steeltoes



These boots where claimed as pilots-boots - soles are vibram - much thicker and softer than the BILTRITE soles of the other 2 pairs and still unused

since i found them back i will include them in my weekly tournament to start breaking them in

None of them was higher than 60.- Bucks back then and all are high-quality

pretty happy since the "surfaced" again

My Wolverine Kilometer boots. Very well made boots.

my boot collection, brown ones are my favourite, very comfy and durable. They are from the brand Diesel as well as the grey ones that are more stylish. HD boots are also cool but a bit hard in the calves, black ones are good too but I like a bit less
