The cracking is because they are different cuts of leather... One is designed to hold a polishable toe for law enforcement.. the other is for marines to play in the sand. You can put a coat of leather treatment on the acadias and they will be much more durable. They will scratch up in heavy brush or rocky terrain regardless... two great boots but two very different uses.. I just got some Rats for like 80 bucks new... it is a crazy price difference.. Danner gets rats overstocked a lot more often and the acadias require a bit more craftsmanship and finer leather to put together...
I didn’t think about the Acadia having to hold a polish, thank you for pointing that out. Yeah the price difference is crazy, I wish I would of known about the RAT before. Overstock and leather cut makes sense for some of the price difference, still crazy though. Thanks for the ideas.
@@AaaAaa-jh9os yeah, the normal price is around $100 but you can find them pretty easily for $80 if you look around. $320? That’s tough, they are great boots though.
@@totesmalotesСпасибо,товарищ!))))Я смотрел что цена очень зависит от производителя,Wellco самые дешевые,Danner самые дорогие.Огромный привет,из Москвы с любовью))
When was stationed in Alaska in 92 I had a pair of the black ones.

You should give rose Anvil a hoot so you can see the results or something.
I thought about this but I don’t know how I would go about it. I’ll probably suggest it in comments in his next video.
How are you nuking your boots to where you have to resole every 6 months 🗿
I do landscaping so I walk a lot. The soles of the boots in this video are basically flat right now.
