Stumbled upon this while searching for Indy boots. I wanted a pair of boots that can handle almost ANYTHING and last me a while. Tell me what you think.

Cheers

Definitely. A boot like that would certainly be handy for insertion into Nazi rears.

They used to make this boot without the toe cap and was a great boot.
I have had a pair for 12+ years and they served me well. Cabela's has this one http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... 859812153a and I have had it for 5 years they feel the same to me.

This has a different view, but the orig. price = 239.99!!!

For 169.99 I think it's a good deal.

I think Indy would only wear those boots on his teaching days at the college but not on adventures! Too fancy to be wearing out in the bush!

How exactly would those boots be "fancy"???? I can't imagine those boots with a suit and that would be overkill if they would.

Aye! Fancy! Type of stuff Indy would not be caught wearing!

Premium, waterproof, full-grain kangaroo leather uppers provide long-wearing durability with lighter weight
GORE-TEX® waterproof and breathable membrane ensure 100% dry
:shock: Sharkskin toe cap adds extra toughness :shock: Leave the sharkskin for the purdy adventurers!
