No experience with Jack Irwins. I have a couple pairs of beater boots for the winter--some old chelseas and a pair of steel-toed Wolverine work boots for site visits that are now worn to traipse through the slush most winter days.
I'm also trying to find something a little more presentable that is also durable in Toronto snow/slush/salt. Chromexcel may be the answer but I haven't settled on anything yet.
Not cool all this talk about Leatherfoot. I'm glad they are around, as they uped the shoe game in the city significantly. Arne I liked talking to the few times I did, and I got a knowledge-able, non-douchey vibe from him. I appreciated that - it's the sort of dudes I like to work with. Hopefully they can still continue that. But at least I wasn't the only one confused as to how they actually made any money - their store never did seem to have much in stock, and it seemed like they were always turning over stock and brands so that they were (and pardon a terrible pun I just thought of) trying to find their footing.
Shameless re-ask of my previous question:
Any of you guys bought any Jack Irwins? Need some boots for the winter, and I'll probably beat the stuffing out of them, so would rather spend in the $200 range than the $500.
