[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1367620, member: 13921"] That always cracks me up. Go price Whites and tell me about how expensive Red Wings are. I now have 4 pairs of Whites oxfords. 2 have been resoled/rebuilt once (they are 9 or 10 years old). I bought another pair because they were on clearance and were my size. They are 7 or 8 years old and being resoled/rebuilt right now. I bought the 4th pair while the 1st 2 were being rebuilt as rebuilding takes 4-6 weeks and it was getting warm. I rotate then them, so I never wear a pair 2 days in a row. They get a chance to dry out, which helps in their longevity. I seriously doubt that I will ever have to buy another warm weather shoe for the rest of my UPS career. I think it is interesting, that I have spent less on shoes and having them rebuilt than the guys in my center that wear cheap shoes. While I was in the NW, I went to the Whites factory and bought a pair of insulated Outdoorsmans. They are replacing a 10 year old pair of Danners that the leather is worn through and they are no longer rebuildable. Had the same thing happen with Whites, the leather would have been replaced in the rebuilding process. When my other pair of Danners wear out, I will replace them with a pair of Whites. If you do a search, you will find the thread where I bought my 1st pair of Whites. [/QUOTE]
