Teaching, Welding, and Outdoor Farm Work Most of my day is spent in a HS welding shop teaching structural welding, but ai also manage my schools farm which is located in the city so we are unique. We raise pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits and poultry so these boots have seen their share of various work conditions.
Almost too good for this contest. The wax has started to patina and the color has lightened but not as much patina development as I would like at this stage. I like the indigo transfer but the boot uppers are still really stiff. I brushed them off weekly and wiped with a damp rag when muddy. No additional wax or grease have been applied.
Super comfy. These are my go to boots for work because of the support and comfort they offer. Prefer these over my wedge sole boot options.
No issues with the boots! The design is great. I prefer an 8” over 6”. I think these boots do not breath as well as other boots because of the lining Franks uses. Sometimes I take a day off because they do not dry out completely over night.
Superior traction but are wearing much like a wedge. They will need at least a heel cap in the next 6 months.
Great boots looking forward to buying another pair of Franks. 55 last??? I am on my feet for 12+ hours a day and upgrading to PNW boots has been a game changer when it comes to alleviating fatigue.
