those look like nazi boots
So you're saying linemen are nazis?
That guy is a fight waiting to happen.
These would be a more-manly option for the OP:

I've worn White's boots for 40+ years. (although not that particular style) Best work boots you can buy...
Couldnt agree more, ive got a pair of their smoke jumpers that im sure will last me the rest of my life.
One of the nice things about White's boots is that IF you wear them out, unlike the "off the rack" boots sold most places, you can send them in and get them totally rebuilt. My current pair has had 3 sole replacements and one total rebuild. (of course, now I don't work anymore...so I almost never wear them. )
Then it's time you upgraded to the boots pictured in op :awe:
