    Sorry I guess I wasn't clear. My point was that Ammo boots that hadn't been double or treble soled broke in fine and were no problem for daily wear. I have had three pairs that I used that were quite comfortable. Also the reproductions are not as stiff as the originals.

    You don't like what they do to hardwood floors? Also it is rather hard to sneak up on anyone.

    If you like them to look nice you can always bull the toe and heel. I have done this from time to time on my brown ones.

    Smile Thanks!

    Thanks for all the recommendations! I now have a list of boots to check out, but I ended up not being able to pass up these this past weekend at the Washington, DC Green Festival (tm). The boots usually sell for $65, and were on a show-only special for $45. I liked the look as well as any others I'd seen, and the price was great, especially when items like this with high recycled content often sell at a premium just because they're recycled/hemp/etc.

    Thanks again to all.
