Boot Question

Post by Goonch »

Hello,

I was checking in to see what folks may recommend as far as guard boots go. I know Imperial Boots has a nice pair, but I wondered if I may be able to find a cheaper pair somewhere else. I saw a pair on Amazon that looked pretty good, aside from the black sections on the side. Just wanted to hear some opinions and perspectives on the boots.

Thank you!

I saw a few similar to these, my only doubt for this kind of boots is wheter they are not high enough to cover the ankle and thus not acceptable...

I have used these, they work pretty good. You might have to change the black elastic to a red though.

I went with the ones by Imperial Boots. They’re really well made. They have a removable insole so I could replace it with a better one for comfort. Also, if you go with them, definitely size up. I’m normally a 10 but believe I went with an 11.

I bought mine from CrowProps they were great to work with. The only complaint is the smell from the shoe rubber cement, but it did dissipate within a few days; however the soles won't fall off. Overall a great boot (also bought the gloves) and both were quality and made custom.
