DH has had the same workboots for the past 15 years or so. He uses them mostly for yard work, and actually wears them quite often. They are SO worn out, and he has actually started complaining about them. I'd like to purchase new ones for him for Father's Day.

I'm looking for something sturdy, warm and waterproof. The brand that comes to mind first for me is Timberland; the brand of his current boots is Texas Steer. Looking for a deal, so if you've seen anything please let me know. TIA!

My DH will only wear Caterpillar boots. The Alaska style to be exact, every now and then I get a great deal at Sears on them.

This the boot DH wears pretty much every day, but not waterproof. http://www.shoebuy.com/511-tactical-atac-8-boot-coyote/368748

The manufacturer makes a waterproof one but DH has never tried that one so can't BTDT. http://www.shoebuy.com/511-tactical-atac-storm-boot/368724

Get on the shoebuy email list and you'll get discounts (and lots of emails).

eta: shoebuy carries Timberland as well. Let me see what the dealio is with shoebuy today - I have an email saying 30% flash deals "today only". There'll be a new deal with in the week, there always is. Usually discount is about 25%, so 30% is pretty good (given DH's boots cost $100 it makes the calculations easy peasy for me). Hm, wonder if DH needs a new pair.

Thank you! I just ordered the Caterpillar Alaska boots from Sears. Fingers crossed that the hubs will love them!
