Have a pair of 1977 vintage combat boots I was issued in the bottom of my duffle. I don’t wear or even look at them. I do have my grandfathers LL Bean Maine hunting shoes, don’t know how old they are, but he wore them in the 30’s.

Right now a pair of full quill ostrich Justin ropers sold my early 70s sea turtle and my 83 Tony lama ant eaters.

I have a pair of pack boots that my father purchased in the early to mid 1960's and they are still wearable, although I have not had them on in years.

I have a pair of Chippawa western boots that are 25+ years old that I have had resoled twice and heals put on 3 or 4 times. These have probably averaged being worn 150 days a year and the leather is still going.

Hunting boots…..maybe 20 years old. Hip boots 25 or so.

My feet have changed (wider) over the years.

Pair of Python boots," COYOTE BOB" brand,i bought in Nuevo Laredo 1987.

Haven't been worn for a while.

I've got a pair of no-name leather boots that are 40+.

30 years.
Elephant skin cowboy boots.
Got older, feet spread. They haven't fit in 20 years.

Eddie Bauer, 1965 or thereabouts. Moccasin type, fully leather lined. Resoled. US made, back when EB was a real expedition outfitter. Good stuff.

Cowboy boots I wore to ring dance 2001

Christmas 1985 Dan Post Lizard.

My Sorels are about 23 years old and still in good shape. Bu i have a pair of Tony Llama cowboy boots that were my dads, they go back 1976. Too small for me though

I've got a 22 year old pair of Georgia Farm & Ranch boots, with 14" tops and a riding heel. They took forever to break in but they are the most comfortable and durable cowboy boots I've ever owned. Of course they're no longer made but I occasionally see them as new/old stock on Ebay. If the next pair lasts that long, they will probably kick the spirit horse off to wherever he's headed.

A pair of ML Leddy Ostrich from 1978. Still wear them a few times per year.

Whites' logger boots...1967 resoled once and still going strong.

I bought a pair of Lacrosse hunting boots for a hunt in Colorado in 1994. I still use them occasionally.

Bought them in 1967, when I could run uphill as fast as I could run downhill…

I have a pair of elephant hide CB boots that are about 40 years old, and with a fused ankle I can't get them on

Love this song. He puts on a great show

Chippewa hunting boots. Bought when I was 19. 31yo

Hunting boots....Black Mickey Mouse over 40 years/ Sorels near 35.

Lizard dress boots over 35 years, but they don't fit anymore as of last year.

There was a pair of cowboy boots that had been my dad's when he was a bull rider in the Cowtown Rodeo post-WWII. Growing up, we had horses, and my older sister wore those boots until she outgrew them, then they were handed down to me until I outgrew them.
Had them re-soled twice.

Dad had tiny feet!

I have a pair of LaCrosse Ice Kings from around 1993. Next would be a pair of Danner Pronghorns from 2002/3. Both are low mileage because they don't get used much.

I've got a pair of Justin elephant ropers I purchased in about 1986. Resoled at least 10 times and they still look almost new, though I haven't worn them in years. Mostly wear Redwing Pecos steel toe now.

Thanks all.

Held onto my last pair of work boots. Stopped working in the field 12 years ago. Still use them for chores around the house. They are hard, stuff, and leak.

I have a pair of ice king laccrosses from about 1981

I have a pair of jungle boots that I wore in Vietnam. Still wear 'em once in a while. Ah, the memories !

Thank you for your service.

It is my understanding that the "tops" are over 100 yrs old, hand carved in Mexico.



My dad got them during a trip to Mexico shortly after he mustered out in 1946.

IIRC, he had three sets of bottoms during his life, and the current bottoms are Sea Turtle, fitted during the 80's

ya!

I have a pair of Raichle Montagnas from 1986.

Got about 10 pairs somewhere that I was issued in 1975. I have a pair of hiking boots I bought in 1972, had vibram soles put on them. Back when I was in college.... I hiked a lot, so they have a lot of miles on them. They've been worn here and there since I ETS'ed in Dec 1982.

Remember when I was a kid, my dad had a pair of Low Quarters all shined up before he transferred from the Marines into the Air Force. I was like 5 and he told me those shoes were 6 years old. I remember being shocked at the times that shoes could be older than me... I was outgrowing shoes real quick back in those days, so 6 years seemed like forever for a 5 year old.

Sorels, 35 years old. I don't wear them a lot.

Ive been wearing the same pair of Danner Acadias since 2007. Not that old compared to some of the others on the thread.

I have a pair of Sears work boots that my folks purchased for me in 1975. I wore them the last two years of high school.

The were immortalized that Thanksgiving in the school paper. There was a poll "What are you thankful for?" Somebody answered that they were thankful for my boots. If the school ever flooded, we could all jump in one of my boots and row home.

I gave them to my dad when I went to college. He resolved them and wore them. He died 12 years ago. I found them in the closet, and they still fit.

BTW: I also have a knobby pair of blue suede platform shoes from my Disco days.

The black rough outs were purchased with the last child support check my Dad wrote in 1993. I bought the brown nicks packers in 95'. They've both been back to nicks or whites for more love since.

I still have a pair of black combat boots I used in Ranger School in 1970. Still pliable from the numerous coats of neatsfoot oil.

Not sure if my Grandfather bought them just before WWll or just after. For some reason my wife decided that I needed new boot laces and throwed out the old leather one's that I had all knotted together.This was the first deer season in years that I didn't wear them hunting.

You're welcome, and thank you for the thank you.

Some water buff Olathe Boots. Picked them up at the factory store Olathe, Kansas in 80 or 82ish. Need a heel job but that’s all.

Still have some somewhere from 2002-2003. The good ole Bates boots.

20 year old pair of Danners and a 30 year old pair of Schnees Pacs. Am afraid my jungle boots from '78 shot craps!

got pair of Nocona cowboy boots i bought summer of 1988... they need resoled , but i havt wore them after i got older

A cheap pair of black Justin Ropers I wore as best man in my brothers wedding over 30 years ago.
I’ve worn them once to a funeral since then.

A pair of Danner’s I bought for a hunt Montana in 1998.
Don’t do much “mountain climbing” in TX.

A pair of custom made Elephant hide Cowboy boot with 17” tops I had made about 20 years ago.
Toughest cowboy boots I’ve ever owned

Still have a pair of Chris Romero cowboy boots my parents got me as a graduation present in 1979. Still in good shape, hoping the grandson might want them some day.
