They are the choice of USFS Fire fighters and most all loggers in the Northwest.
My son fought fire with the US Forest Service last year in White's. Several team members failed, and one was taken to hospital in critical condition due to foot breakdown and deep infection. None of those who broke down were wearing White's. My son topped every mountain with the first of all teams.
NICK's are also excellent, by the way.
I wear mine during all seasons I am not either in skiboots or gumboots. I put just at 300 miles per year in mine on hikes and then 6 months ranch work in non-slop seasons in White's.
Here area few of mine. Front pair are my most recent build. Farthest are 12 years old with several thousand miles on them. Middle pair are Packers, used for hike and horse work in the mountains here.
My wife chewed me out but good for setting them on the kitchen bar.
UFF DA!!
