we fall the way we do so people can ask us why. p.s. them is some pretty shoes bob. almost hate to work them.:cool2:

Yup, they were pretty for about two days. Now, not quite as nice.

Hey, as long as we're talking about boots...do you find that replacement spikes don't last as long as they used to?

Wesco replaceables. I don't really have anything to base it on but it seems like they wear down faster than they used to.

Always heard the wesco's wore good compared to other standard corks. I know those champ logger ones suck hind tit. Got some phillips tool steel ones to throw in my Hoffmans when they're done. They look pretty good heard good things about em.

Yes! The last few rounds have been jank. "Tool steel" or something is on the chitty ones. "Champ logger" ones seem to last much longer..

Thanks. I wondered if they really were of lesser quality or if I was just going through another old guy rant again..."they don't make 'em like they used to"... I try to avoid those, but sometimes....

I dont blame ya. When someone like me who's been at it a fraction of the time recognises a problem, it has got to be an issue.
