maybe i just got a bad pair of CAs then, because everytime i walked in them it felt liek the heel was about to give out. Given i am a big person, 6' 4.5", but i'm only about 180lbs. So i have no idea why i would get the rock effect with the boots. From what i've heard about the company they don't ship out crappy defect boots, does anyone else have that problem? the main reason i disliked my CAs was the balance factor. I didn't even bother weathering them because I knew i'd resell them.
I'll probably end up going this route because Ronin's are amazing looking. And like he said, they are built on a sturdy, broken in work boot so they will be comfortable and durable. Plus he was using nice materials and stronger adhesives. So unless he is actually planning on tracking down bounty's in a desert i'm sure they'll hold up just fine to trooping conditions. and if they ever did break, he knows what he needs to fix them like mentioned.
just my opinion of course
