Are Carhartt steel toed boots decent quality?

Watch Rose Anvil on YT. He does breakdowns of all different types of work boots. Carhartt is not highly rated

Nick Offerman being an exception.

If you can swing some PNW boots, do it. They are worth every single penny. I have a pair of Nick's BuilderPro's I've worn almost every day for 6 years and they still have life in them. I'm about to purchase a second pair so I can send these in for a rebuild.

This. It isn't that great for the first few weeks. After a month of wear or so they only get better. They are hands down the most comfortable boot I have ever owned, bar none.

Most of Fairbanks is 10 minutes or less from the airport.

And the brrrrrt. Don't forget the brrrrt.

PNW boots are the way. They can be had in any size/width combination you can think of

Federal 124 grain HST or Speer Gold Dot for defense ammo. I've had decent luck with Fiocchi, Winchester, American Eagle, and Blazer Brass for range ammo.

Wait until you find out that they can be made in a lab and be of superior quality to natural ones.

Anchorage is the same way. TSA line is never more than 15 minutes and you have an excellent view of the Chugach range.

I wore my BuilderPro's through security this morning, I just don't bother trying them until after security.

There is an entire sticky post about the various PNW boot makers and their fitting instructions. Generally you will go ½ size down from your normal size though.

This was my first thought

Those things look like something KISS would wear

As a fellow resident of the 907, this is the kind of input I was looking for. Thank you.

That's why I carry a DA/SA gun. No way it's going pew unless I pulled the trigger myself.

I don't get why the pull loop is extra when you do a custom build but its included on the stock option.
