Reply to comment by percheron0415 in My 2 favorite BIFL items: Whites Longliner boots I bought 3 years ago and wear daily, and a Stanley thermos my grandpa bought in 1968. by percheron0415

Have the same pair. Can confirm, worth every penny. My back cannot thank me enough.

Likewise. My lower back paid went away almost immediately and my posture improved dramatically. The biggest issue I have now is that when I try on any other boots (I.e. ones my work buys for me), they all feel poor fitting and cheap :(

Yeah same here. I’m going to save for another 4811 last. Every time I think about pulling the trigger, I’m like “another pair of Longliners makes better sense considering that’s what makes my money”. But would love a pair of the farmer/ranchers for after hours

I think my next pair is going to be a pair of lace-to-toe smokejumpers. I have to have a safety toe for work, but I don’t need one when I’m at home working/hunting on our property. Plus, I love the look of the roughout brown leather.
