Lacrosse Boot Sale

That is a great price Guy!
I wear the Burly 800 gram Thinsulate insulated version. They are $50.00 off! I already have a pair new in the box that I have had for two years. I just can't seem to wear my current pair out.

I was working along Big Timber Creek and Little Timber Creek in Brooklawn and Gloucester yesterday and I thought for sure I would wreck my current Lacrosse boots in the tidal trash piles laced with every sort of flotsam, including glass, metal, trees and hypodermic needles.

No Pines beauty and quiet solitude to be found on the gritty side of South Jersey. This was taken yesterday off of Water Street in Gloucester.

I think I see a human arm in there, sticking up.

The sad thing is, I spent nearly as much as the Grange sale price when I bought boots at Tractor Supply prior to my first PBX hike last May. They were literally beginning to fall apart the first time I used them. Granted, bushwhacking is going to put more wear and tear on a pair of boots, but there's no excuse for them to degenerate as rapidly as they did. They have been, without a doubt, the worst pair of boots that I have ever owned.

You are probably right.
The syringes are really unsettling. When I worked on the Brooklawn boat ramp and shoreline stabilization project about 15 years ago it was incredible how many washed up whenever there was a strong northwest wind in place.. A local offered his opinion to me that the storm sewers in Philly all drained directly to the river and the NW crosswinds would push them into the ramp and shoreline. His theory was that users threw them in the streets and they would find their way into the storm sewers.

Lacrosse boots went to full-blown Chinese manufacturing awhile ago. Some people say that they have noticed a difference in quality, but my sons and I haven't and we wear them all the time. I really despise the fact that I'm buying boots from China, but at least I can still buy American-made work boots and clothing. Clothing part is getting almost as difficult as the boots though..

Carhartt iis really beginning to disgust me. Manufacturing has all but left the United States for them, except for a few odd items. I have gone out of my way and searched for dealers of new old stock products in order to purchase multiple pairs of B-01 rigid pants, B-07 Loggers and R-01 rigid bibs. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to find that new old stock now. And if you look at any negative reviews on Carhartt's website, they're all from people like me who remember the good old days. That was back when they were made here and made for real work, not to be worn as a fashion statement. Right now. I have an original chore coat, new in the plastic wrapping that it came in stored away. I also have three pairs of the BO-7 loggers. I did the math. I'll be about a hundred and five when I wear any of that stuff out.

Jennifer bought a Carhartt jacket 5 years ago and wears it everyday to work in the season. So Jessica went last week and bought the same one. They are black and Jen’s is fading somewhat but she loves it as does Jessica. However, I guess you can say they were purchased for a fashion statement.

I have been wearing Carhartt waterproof hooded sweatshirts for many years now, the heavy ones with imitation fur linings. Have never found another brand that feels so good and keeps me so warm. That's the only "winter coat" I wear for most of the season. A few years ago I "discovered" a store called The Hub in Mays Landing, in the little strip mall next to the Mays Landing Diner. They have quite a nice selection of Carhartt and other work clothes, but it's about as far as you could get from "fashionable", a real bare-bones plain-pipe-racks operation. Store is much bigger than it looks from the outside and so crammed full of stuff you can hardly squeeze through the isles, guessing they do most of their sales online. But kind of a cool place and I'd been searching all over for this stuff for years when there's this store just a few miles from my home!

Stopped by a couple days ago to replace a couple old sweatshirts and was disappointed that they didn't have any mediums, got a small one instead, seems to fit OK and I noticed they are now calling them "relaxed fit". Guess that's part of their new image? Anyway, I wear Carhartt because they feel good, keep me warm and last a long time. But I also like the way they look. :)

I have a couple of older Carhartt sweatshirts that at the time were labeled as heavyweight and they have held up excellent. I recently purchased what is also labeled as their heavyweight sweatshirt and it’s not even half as thick as the older sweatshirts even though the price is higher! They don’t make them like they used to!
 
Scott, would you upsize for the Burly insulated boot? My Grange model is a size 11 & provides a snug fit. Wondering if I should step into a size 12 for the 800g insulated Burlys. Thanks in advance!
