A lot more than I'm willing to pay as well.

 

For that price, I got a new pair of AlpineStars boots (closeout), a new pair of Bates boots for work (sale), tennis shoes and a pair of Wolverine boots.

Not saying they aren't some good boots, and maybe a little shopping around might get them cheaper.

 

I paid $35 for my boots and they have lasted 5 years so far. I think I got my money's worth out of them. When they are completely shot, I'll probably buy another pair similar to them.

 

SURE.......Go ahead, Rub it in. .......

 

One pair of combat boots I had looked like this only they were real military surplus and not just that style. I think I got them from Sportsman's Guide. They were real cheap and may have been slightly out of spec. The manufacture date in 1988 was stamped into the leather and I don't think it was long after that when I bought them. Last year the leather dry rotted or something. The tongue on both of them tore when I pulled too hard on them. I sure got my money's worth out of those, but they made my feet hurt if I stood or walked very much. https://www.armysurplusworld.com/bla...er-combat-boot

 

Got a pair of Bates boots with zippers in the side.
hope I don't get in deep mud with them.
