I wear work boots 365 days a year and owned them all when they were still made in the US. My whites smoke jumpers are by far the best boot I had on my feet. They split duty with a pair of whites packers. They are a very well made boot that holds up very well to the abuses I put them through. I sat down and figured out in the last 7 years I saved $1000 dollars owning whites, than I would have if I would have kept burning through redwings or danners every 6 months.
