RE: after reading the "rocky boots" thread..
About 22 years ago, my Grandfather purchase a pair of Lacrosse Icemen for my birthday. Green leather uppers with black rubber bottoms. I still use them for hunting and snow removal.
Now the Icemen are made in China and they feel so cheap. The leather uppers look and feel like plastic. The felt liner is thinner and the boot is much lighter.
I was thinking of replacing them, but the more I read, the less I want to give up my Icemen. I was looking at the Chippewa line of boots. They are made in the USA. Anyone with any knowledge of this boot line?
