I can't stand the thought of shellin' out a C note for something I'll wear out in a year or two, but my $30 cheapies wear out in 6 months, so I'm spendin' that C note anyways......Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-20241522854163204822008-08-12T11:22:00.000-07:002008-08-12T11:22:00.000-07:00Comment on gloves (I agree with Redwing boots and ...Comment on gloves (I agree with Redwing boots and love my Vasque hikers to no end- toughest boot made) and their longevity at work. During the 20+ years of doing carpentry, I tried many varieties of gloves. Handling lumber and tools is especially hard on gloves, cement work even more hard on them and the best the crews I worked with found were the jersey/cloth typewith a rubberized palm. You'll wear out two or three pair of leather gloves to every one of these tough rubber coated finger savers- and they're snug on the palm and wrist.Shy Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708293970831678927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-44325694724836934412008-08-12T09:50:00.000-07:002008-08-12T09:50:00.000-07:00There are boots out there that aren't Redwing?

Even better if they are wool, keeps you warm even when wet and lasts a lot longer. Same thing with socks...wool, even in summer. Get the lightweights for then. Warm hands and feet are life savers!Jess (Ozark Momma)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04818540604927301545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-82634674162014807772008-08-12T09:07:00.000-07:002008-08-12T09:07:00.000-07:00I'm a Redwing or Rocky Boot fan myself but I wear ...I'm a Redwing or Rocky Boot fan myself but I wear redwing leather hicking boots most of the time myself.
