Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

More on Outdoor Gear: Boots and Wellies #7

It's the time of year when we re-link our world-famous Boots and Wellies opus. All you need to know for mud-season.

It's also a good time of year for another free advt for Sierra Trading Post. Good discount outdoor gear, plus sneakers, etc. Often, good deals on dress shoes and work shoes, too. Some folks collect knives, or guns, or knick-knacks. I collect boots because happy feet make for a happy man.

Ah, but Belleville flight boots in desert tan are just the ticket for upcoming turkey season here out West.

I've been pleased with my purchases from them, but I'm not getting much from them these days.

Barrister, have you seen this? Quite funny stuff:

Just bought DH a pair of Carolina work boots from them (after giving up on a fancier pair of Italian hiking boots). There was no problem at all with returns. And the new boots are great, waterproof with insulation, just the thing for the latest snow storm.

I wear LaCrosse 1200's for most of deer season. Gotta' get me some uninsulated boots for those summer dogs though. Looking at some more of the same sans Thinsulate. For just getting out there and gettin'er done I'm liken the cut of the LaCrosse Alpha Aggressive Steel Toe Boot, but the name makes me laugh. Kinda' like that Gore feller gettin' schooled by that Wolf girly on the finer points of bein' a tough'n. (I bet he's howlin' with the boys over a Pink Lady or an Appletini as I contemplate my next purchase with you fine people). Anywho, boots for sure. Mud season's a comin'.

What I need is a good in-between boot. Got the Belleville's for the warmer weather and some packers for the real cold. The winter pacs are by a fine guy in Salmon, Idaho:

Now I need an excuse for something else - anybody with an opinion on Russell's?

I have some Russell quail snakeproof boots. Nice. Don't use them much, though.

Got my Aigles last year. A little pricey ($300 +/- but oh so worth it. Got the kind with the new lining and the expandable sides--perfect. Thank you BD and Barrister!
