THEY DO GLOW IN THE DARK!!

No gimmick here, friends.  After over fifty years, these boots perform as promised.  Even the Nite-Glo Welts still glow in the dark when charged with bright light - It was difficult to  capture it on film, but it's pretty neat.  Someone suggested that I put a Geiger Counter to these boots before donning them.  Good idea...if I knew what that was.

Contrary to the sellers description regarding the replaced soles, these boots are 100% original.  These are, by far, my favorite of all the boots I've purchased over the years.  I'm not sure I can top these - even with a pair of deadstock Buco Engineer Boots.  I imagine that once I run the soles and heels down, they'll receive the Okuyama treatment.
