Java, great review and pics! I wish I coulda stayed out in Vegas a couple more days and went hiking with you. I gotta get me a pair of those Bates and see how they work for me
.
Bill, sounds like you did it all in the logging business! Last pair of boots I used while setting chokers, were some caulked Danners from Hoffman Boots in Idaho. I started working with them right out of the box, with no break in, and never had a problem with hot spots or blisters. Great pair of boots, and Hoffman Boots has outstanding customer service.
