Drew's Contractor 6" Boots - Very Impressed! 555 Gear
Tune in for an initial unboxing and first look at the Drew's Boots Contractors in 6". Based in Oregon, Drew's boots has a long history of making high quality logging/ wildland firefighter style boots. In this initial review, I give a close look at many details in this example of a more accessible boot and I discussed the pluses and minuses of the relatively high cost of entry with PNW boots. Ultimately, this is a very niche boot but built to an exceedingly high standard, even with some of the unusual aspects of the boot such as where it is made.

    This was exactly what I needed to change my Timex Weekender battery. It cost me $1.00 for a battery and 10 minutes time to change the battery out. The local jeweler took 30 minutes and charged $12.50. I am delighted and I heartily thank you for this education! 🎉🎉🎉 I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! 👍🏼

    Layering works great in some situations but for just puttering around in the Midwest, it's often super cold outside and then folks keep the inside spaces overheated, so I like having a heavy parka and then just a shirt underneath. I was able to get one in orange (not a favorite color) for $100. New.

    Ive been eyeing these hard since Drews first came out with them. One thing that you neglected to mention, but which is also a major advantage to purchasing these, is the lack of a lengthy production wait time. Drew's try to keep these stocked in standard sizes for the most part. With many of the PNW brands referenced, there are anywhere from 3 months, to potentially 24 month wait periods for this style and build quality of foot wear (Wesco is notorious for their lengthy wait periods). Typically these can be recieved in just a week or 2 in comparison. Great review. One sub earned.

    I have to say the Filson looks to be the best fit of those three. The Target one looks too boxy and poorly constructed; the Iron Heart looks a bit tight and the shoulders in the back are bunching. While the Filson looks comfy. Of course I'm just going by 'look' on a small phone. Actual experience and personal preferences are the true judge.

    I understand the concern but Liberty has since changed their policy and if a safe owner takes mitigating steps, the issue goes away. As usual, the public is overreacting. Liberty makes a decent line of safes manufactured here in the United States. So go buy your Chinese junk safes and get rid of yet another American company employing Americans because they made a mistake. God help us as a nation, if we can’t get past bumps that life throws at us, in a reasonable, thoughtful manner.

    Irish Setters don’t hold up more than a year for me anymore. I wear them everyday in mud,sand,water etc & keep them oiled. The liner of waterproof ones end up ripping out. The sole came unglued on last pair. If Red Wing makes a square toe western I’m done with Irish Setters. That being said the Irish Setters are very comfortable & would probably work well for light use not worn daily.

    I respect your opinion but I don’t understand the choil hitting your finger complaint. I am always flicking mine and when it does hit unless you’re smacking it with way too much force you can barely feel it. Secondly and even more importantly every compression lock you have to move your finger away before it closes to lock the blade back in place.
