Boots In Really Bad Shape


These baby's have lasted me a loooong time. They are disintegrating. My family has gotten me some new ones for Fathers Day! How will I be able to work now?

A little construction glue and 3/4" brad nails will make them as good as new. Use the new ones for spares.

Geeeez framer, they look they are just reaching the 'worn in and comfortable' stage. Sucks! Mine are ready for replacement too, but it's like losing old friends...

Re: Boots In Really Bad Shape


I actually like a fairly new work boot. My feet feel better after a long day if their strapped in tight and my back feels better with a good insole. Igetting ready to get me a new pair myself. Almost pitched off the deck I was building the other day because the sole has started to seperate at the front...kinda caught and I tripped

I was thinking low expanding foam LOL. Duct tape sounds better. New boots are STIFF!
