Gently used might not be so bad. It's not just things like athlete's foot that concerns me. If a pair of shoes is broken in to fit someone else, they probably won't be good for my feet.

That might sound icky to some but I have found good buys on ebay for women's shoes. I alway toss them into the dryer for a good 20-40 minutes to sanitize them. So as an example LLBean's mens hunting duck boots are $139 new and on ebay what looks to be gently used pair are $69 shipped<br /><br />http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-LL-Bean-Maine-Hunting-Shoe-Winter-Snow-Duck-Boots-Mens-14-/252536915996?hash=item3acc5f881c:g:pscAAOSwFV9X1whW<br /><br />With the economy being the way it is and hubby owning his own business, last fall I decided to start looking into the resale shops for items I might need. I've been very impressed and had what too much fun when I first changed to this way of shopping LOL. But one good thing about shopping at Salvation Army is I alway try to bring a bag of items I no longer use and give it to the drop off end of the building before I go in to shop :) :) :)westside momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224462720183128560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-72619771747360918292016-09-18T12:39:30.201-04:002016-09-18T12:39:30.201-04:00I'll check them out.

At 60$ one heck of a deal. I have a pair and they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever had. About two years ago I went to look for another pair and of course learned that they no longer make them. Very disappointing. I am now getting in the habit when I find something that fits well, I buy several extra and save them for the future.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-75828872133174961502016-09-18T08:36:53.073-04:002016-09-18T08:36:53.073-04:00I'm sure they fit people in China, where the c...I'm sure they fit people in China, where the clothes are made, just fine.

Plus they have to have steel toes so they are heavy as you mention.<br />I bought a cheapie pair of boots once.<br />Suffered for a week before I went and bought a quality pair.<br />Inserts are the biggie though. I actually paid more for quality inserts than I did for those cheap boots.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.com
