I'm with Patrick631 on this one, I love my pro-warringtons and would never wear anything else. I have the 10" w/zippers, but i never use the zippers. I'm looking into getting the new 14" model. But i would definitely go with PRO-WARRINGTONS

I am on my second pair of 14" warringtons,had my new pair for about 3 years now. My first pair lasted almost 9 years (not much leather left on the toes though. Also wear 8" zippered pair for fire investigation. Have found nothing warmer or more comfortable.

I wore a pair of 8" Black Diamond Zip-Up's for years. Decided I would rather go back to a full bunker style boot. Bought me a pair of PW 5000's and haven't looked backTake Care - Stay Safe - God Bless

How do you deal with the zip ups? like a regular bunker boot stays in the bunker when not in use, what about the zip ups, seeings how ther're smaller
and also, about you new pw5000's, where, and how much?

Try Tradition Footwear. They are even in your area. www.fireboot.com
They make a great leather pull on and zipper boot as well as wildland boots and station footwear.
In my opinion far superior to other on the market.09-11 .. 343 "All Gave Some..Some Gave ALL" God Bless..R.I.P.

I have 2 pair of Black Diamond boots and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I tried a few other brands and found these to be lightweight and more comfortable than the others. Any type of leather boot will run circles around the traditional rubber boots.
Boot Height: 14 Inches
Upper Midsole: 2.2mm thick rubber midsole is strong but flexible
Lining: Cambrelle quilted to layer of 300g Poly felt with Gore-Tex Crosstech membrane
Footbed: Removable Body Cushion insert with poly suede cover
Tibia Protector: ¼” sponge rubber, strong but flexible
Steel Toe: HI 500 steel toe
Steel Midsole: Stainless steel
Steel Shank: Double ridged steel/chemlock coating
Outsole: VIBRAM 1275 aggressive rubber lug outsole
Pull on Loops: Leather, combined to 10 oz. for maximum durability

I would like to comment:
In today's fire service one pair of boots just can't do it all. Why should you wear a structural entry boot to medical aid calls? The trend, from a risk management stand point is wear a station boot, something that is comfortable, steel toed and easy on & off. When responding to a stucture call, wear the appropriate turnout or bunker boots. In our section of the country we require a wildland boot for the urban interface incidents.
I have been very happy with my Redback station boots, for the 95% time I'm not in turnouts. As for turnout boots, I have to recommend the HAIX leather boot. Try this combination, your back will be healthier.

station boots
Yea I already have a pair of station boots they get the job done great for first responders etc. I have to say if youre looking for a station boot,I would recommend ROCKY as a brand. Comfortable, easy in and out and (zip up)."Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for hs brothers".
