If you watch the TV commercial and just want to go apple picking with the kids, they should be just fine. I bought a pair and someone at Goodwill get a heck of a deal on the worst pair of boots that I ever owned. Well made, but that sole is terrible for snow or wet leaves or cold weather or climbing a hill. They might be fine for NC warmer weather, but they sure fell short in Wisconsin. I forgot what I paid for them, but it was too much for too little. They are marketed to the yuppie crowd and what you are buying is the apple picking image on the TV commercial. Don't do it if you are a serious outdoors person. Well, that does it- no Beans for me. I'm about as far from that apple picking yuppie you can get. I don't even want to be looked at that way. Also, seems like everyone says they are slippery. That just ain't gonna cut it at my age.

I don't understand why threads like this bring out such strong, often polar opposite, feelings about something as mundane as rubber-bottom pac boots.

Big pimpin'..... I went with highway tread version for these on purpose. Already have two other pairs and they both have air bob grip. They are okay for a stirrup and will carry way less mud and chit onto your driveway and front door than the air bob. Talking flat ground work boots, for any sort of hill air bob all the way if it's even remotely slick. ![[Linked Image from i37.photobucket.com]](https://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/montanasam014/IMG_3912.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i37.photobucket.com]](https://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/montanasam014/IMG_3918.jpg)
