LaCrosse Industrial 16" Meta-Pac Darn near bullett proof!

I work in a wet underground mine and wear these boots 8 to 10 hours a day. I walk an average of 3 to 5 miles a day and good boots are a must. These boots last longer than any other boot I've worn. They last 6 months and while that may not sound like much most other boots I've tried only last 2 to 3 months at best and I've tried many other brands. If you need a good long lasting pair of rubbersteel toe boots you can't bet these LaCrosse Meta-Pac.
