I have had several pair of boots over the 40+ yrs. of building and playing in the woods ,and such, these are by far the BEST I have ever worn.
first, the build and look of these boots is great ,they just look and feel like they want to work,the leather is substantial,and the color isgreat ,I just dont like to wear two big oranges on my feet ,that is what all those all those other work boots look like. Even the strings are HD.they say "unbreakable",,so far ,a year of nearly everyday use ,and no problem yet !! And the soles look and feel as though you could walk aaround the world and barely phase them ,
Now ive bought insulated boots from a name brand ,thinking they were going to keep my feet comfortable,WRONG ! It seems if you buy for one thing thats all you get,they either short you on waterproofing or quality of materials,.
And that name brand sold out and moved out of the US ,that was one of the big things that drew me toward these,NOT just because they are built in America ,but it seems to me that the quality is one of the major factors in most products made here,
AdTec definitely has quality #1 , waterproof ,YES ,Standing in snow and ice all day ,feet nice and dry ,insulation is perfect,not too much as to make your sweat ,just enough to keep your feet dry and comfortable,
As I said before nearly a year of constant use,with just minimal maintenance,
Brushing off mud, and spraying off stubborn things withthe hose ,I do occasionally spray on a conditioner for the leather ,but other that ,
they look as though they just came out of the box,
the leather on the toe is still in great shape ,the other companies boots would have the toe worn through by now
I just cant say enough about these boots,if I could make a suggestion, let me add about 3-4 more stars to the ratings chart/gizmo ,
BRAVO absolutely BRAVO !!!!!!!!!
