I got them for $69 from sportsmansguide and wish I ordered a couple more pairs when I had the chance. i bought my docs from the doc store in oakland (yeah, about 7 years ago)… they still held up fine and are comfortable and with some shoe polish, they look great. the steel toe helps rip up the leather a bit… but they aren’t work boots… i would guess that any guy that works outside or beats down their boots hardcore isn’t going to want to get a pair for obvious reasons… but for general wear, they work great i was going to mention though, mine are nice and are well worth the 100+ i spent on them 7 year ago. ---

kinda funny i am gonna need a new pair. my right boot is the new shop spokesperson. the sole came off around the toe area. I was real happy with the boots till they came apart. i will prob buy another pair since they fit well and were comfortable. (i wear these boots 12-16hrs per day 6-7 days per week) ---

I still got my timbs. wore the toes down to the steel but that’s okay since I’m inside all the time. They’re so damn comfortable they’ve become my primary shoes. Only time I don’t wear them is lifting or running lol ---

i’m telling ya, the best way to go for work boots are rocky logging boots. i have a"good" pair that i wear out in the evening that are about 2 years old. they will be down graded to work maybe next year. the ones i wear to work are 4 years, almost 5 old and i have never had a problem with them. very comfy, hold up to water, grease etc. my akita even got ahold of them and the worse she could do was tear some stuffing from the tounge. she couldn’t tear through the rest. (and shes destroyed a recliner with no problem) ---

yeah, a little too far for me. i will not buy boots anywhere else besides m&m leather in greensburg. the selection in great, the service is outstanding, and even if the pair you’re getting are not on sale they still give you a discount. plus it supports one of the few moms and pops places around.
