nice looking boots. I bought a pair of red wings a couple months ago, first tiem I've had red wings, I like them a lot. mine do say made in USA on the tongue.......................................from imported material

Does nobody ski or snowboard? That technology has been on boots for years.

I have seen them on the Sidi boots recently. Im worried that in a crash those wire could be cut, and the boot would fly off... Probably an irrational fear, but whatever.

I'm in the market for work boots too.

As far as made in America, I think Justin boots are the only ones I have seen a "hand crafted in America" sticker

I've had Redwings and thought they weren't what hype is for the money I paid. They wore out just as quick as Rocky, Georgia Boot, and Wolverine.

Lifetime warranty.

Find a local store.

It's not a new thing but it's a new red wing thing.

The cables are stainless steel braded cable in there. I'm pretty sure they are stronger than string laces.

You know they say you revert back to a child as you get old. This thread helps that theory. Cant wait until I reach the age were velcro straps are back in style with my age.

Now one thing I do like is the laced front with zipper on the side. I got these kick ass black boots I wear while riding that are stiff and have the side zipper. When I'm at a destination, I just unzip the sides and walk comfortably.

Yep.

I don't think it is possible to avoid all together but some is better than none.
