I have a great pair of Carharts I really like for construction work. They hold up well and after breaking them in feel pretty good. With wet trench work though they take three days to dry out and annoys me. So I pulled out my old jungle boots from the service and love the crap out of them. Couple problems though I dont like. Sole on them are very thin which means I kick shovels in the ground and do the one legged chicken dance atleast once a day:beatsme. Also they dont have steel toes which also gets me in trouble because I'm used to using my toes as shims quite abit. Anyways I'm betting they've made boots for this very application and I'd like to keep a 2nd pair around for wet jobs, thanks for any input!
