Khombu boots at Costco, $23.99

[Jackburton]

For those helpers/drivers looking for some decent boots that are better than Walmart and you don't have to spend over a day's pay on
Costco Wholesale

Bought a pair myself, so far they feel pretty nice. I'm usually a New Balance guy but wanted some waterproof boots for the rainy days. These run slightly small if you wear thick socks, might want to go up a size, no half sizes. Picked them up in my local Cumming Costco

I thought the Wolverines at Walmart were always pretty nice.

Are Wolverines anything like Cougars?

I bet those boots are made by the same folks who make Timberland, just a little more generic version.

Yep some trash made in China. I know helpers can't afford it but only USA union made for this driver.

I used to think Keen and Merrill were top quality American made till I found out they were made in other countries

I only wear Danner boots. Their premium line is made in Portland Oregon. Unfortunately they now have an imported line, made in China, with s lower price and a corresponding drop in quality. You get what you pay for and since I make a living on my feet I choose to pay for the best.

Used to be only red wing for me. Then they moved a lot of stuff overseas and you really gotta look to see what's make where.

Now it's thorogood only for me. They are union made in the USA. Although they've sent a little bit of their manufacturing overseas a now too

$23 Boots? How long will they last?

And if you look at the reviews on their Chinese made stuff it is terrible... Horrible reviews and people aren't happy...

The Costco boots that Jackburton posted look exactly like Academy Sport's Magellen store brand. I like them because they are cheap at $49 and waterproof, but the soles don't hold up well for everyday use.

And if you could, keep shopping at Costco. Most of their locations are union. friend sams/walmart.

The store may be union but the majority of their products are not.

Longer than the helper's employment.

Just like 100% of all the goods we use on daily basis. Just like the new balance boots I bought recently. They were made in china. The media lied to me.

 

[olroadbeech]

have had mine for a couple months. very comfortable. the only complaint is they don't breathe as well as more expensive boots. but for 25 bucks if they give me a couple years , that's OK.

New Balance used to be made in a factory near Boston.

I would be lucky to get 3 weeks wear out of a $23 pair of boots.
