I wasn't planning to wear them to a wedding

[stuckmotor]

Back in the 70's I bought a pair of work shoes of a style that was very common while I was a kid in the 50's and 60's. As I remember, they were sold with the Georgia Giant label and the price was between $18.00 and $25.00. They had a smooth corked rubber sole good for scrapeing off mud and manure. Well, until yesterday, I hadn't been able to find that style of work shoe. They're $225.00 and I've got sticker shock.

I even posted a thread a while back asking where I could find such a shoe.

If those are USA made, that price is typical. I have bought thorogood and Justin boots made in USA for that price.

Just add a pair of cashmere socks and you can get free shipping!

I'll have to consider that for a while.

Do you have to supply your own pennies?

Not sure what I'll miss more, my faithful best friend or my trusty old boots, when the time go part ways arrives. Course it could be they both out last me
