I have had 3 pair of wescos they are hard to kill I loved em. I had one pair of buffalos great boot. I know were Hathorn made by whites, feel, and look very similar, they are not rebuidable, but out of all the bots I ever owne I just had them resoled. It seems like the bots are expensive enough but 150 to 200 to rebuild 300 buys new hmmm? The hathornes are 179, very comfortable, and built well.
