Picked these up at local farm store for $50. They had them on a markdown table along with a pair of size 13s. Retail on Amazon is $179. Made in China but for 50 bucks I couldn't pass em up. They feel better on my feet than any new boot I have ever put on. Already got a good black mark on the left one from the shift lever but who cares. Safety toe and waterproof.

Prior to my current position I used to be on my feet all day. Anywhere from 60 to 80 hour work weeks. I've always has issues with my feet and finding good footwear for all day wear and carhartt are the best I've come across. I've never had boots but they make a hiking style shoe that I've bought for like 5 years straight. New pair every year or so

Also was composite toe so that weight savings was nice and bonus that I didn't have to remove shoes to go through the metal detectors

I looked at the website and notices something was missing. They do not say anything about oil and slip resistant soles

That doesn't matter.... just buy them because Robert Simmons and other UTubers say you should!!
LOL

TCX is the only ones that come to mind for a sneaker style that claim oil resistant.

That's part of reason I have the boots I do that I primarily wear, Forma Eagles, because they have a lug sole. Most boots I found had a traditional flat sole and I didn't get the grip I liked in them. At the time, the house I lived in, I had to stop at a stop sign on an incline with loose gravel/dirt/rocks and needed a guarantee of good slip resistance. A couple times over the last few years I've almost dropped my bike and I believe those lugs helped me keep it upright bc when I stab my foot in to the ground...they just stick.

All the various options in a sneaker style seems to have a real similar style of sole and none, obviously due to the style, are lug sole. But to be frank, with the heat we've been having here and the fact that my boots are "water proof" and thus don't breathe well I've slipped in to a bad habit of just grabbing some Adidas sneakers I have laying around and wearing those on short jaunts around town and what not. Not very good protection wise, if at all, and no slip resistance at all. I have been super mindful about coming to a stop for that reason

Found this in my email earlier, just in case any one is still on the fence about these.

I’m thinking of picking up a pair but when I check the Interwebs they show they are made in Pakistan.
For those that had to add new insoles what brand did You go with?
These do look like great riding boots but I’m still a little leery.

I get the not made in USA thing, but sometimes that's just hard to get around. When I first got mine, I had some Dr Scholls inserts laying around and put those in there because I wasn't sure if I was going to like them or not. Turns out, they worked very well for me. I can ride and walk around all day in them and it seems they get more comfortable the more times I wear them. More broken in. Glad I got them. They seemed a little tight at first, but super comfortable now. Had them for about a year now and have held up very well.

I just ordered a pair of Crows.
@snapring6r thanks for the heads up on The Discount Code, worked perfectly.

Seems like they are similar to a new seat, give it a little while to break in and then you're golden!

The Indie Ridge Crows arrived today and as described these boots are extremely comfortable. So far I am very happy with the purchase.
Looking forward to putting them thru the paces. I believe that these will be an everyday pair of boots.

I hope that they work out for you as well as they did for me!

I'm curious, do the shoes grip pretty well? Looks like it'll be slick when walking on something wet. Also, how does it keep water out between the laces making it waterproof?
