A Truth about snap- on dealers

They are not as cheap as wal-mart, but if you outfit your drawer with enough pairs to suit your entire sock needs, you will never buy another pair ever again, to replace damaged and worn out ones. And they are made in the US.

I wear Red Wing US made boots, because everything else gets obliterated, working on trains and cars. I can't find quality size 16 work shoes anywhere else. They cost me $240, but they have held up for a year and a half. I'm about due for a re-sole, which will run me about $65-70. Worth the investment, though.
