I was just going to post the same topic. Looking for a pair of boots myself. Just need them for classes and range work, I'm not humping 20 miles a day in them. Anybody have any good suggestions for something in the 75 dollar range?

How does the Oakley Si Boots compare to the Bushmasters?

Adding a nod for the OTB Thors. Best shoes I've owned thus far. Still breaking in a pair of Asolo FSN-85s so I can't really rate them yet. On first impression mostly good but I think I need to upgrade the insoles. Nice thing about all OTB boots is that OTB puts a lot of thought into adding quality insoles for their boots. I also have a pair of OTB Abyss boots that I haven't really had a chance to use yet -- comes with a whole complex system of insoles.

Well after reading this thread I've decided to give the OTB Bushmasters a go. I'll have to wait for all of the snow to go away though
I have wore Danner Arcadias for the last several years. Just recently, my department approved a boot company by the name of Haix. I just realized that their HQ is right here in Lexington. I asked around and a a few of the street cops seem to like them. Not clear on what models. I may take a look at them also.
Back to Danner. I was involved in a incident where Jet Fuel/foam completely trashed the finish on my Danners. I was a little bummed. I shipped them back to Danner for $50 or $75 dollars and they sent them back to me damn near new looking. They even tossed in a shirt with the deal. Nonetheless, it meant so much to me to get the boots back. Kind of a sentimental value that I want to hold on to. Plus one for Danners!
Most of us wear the Arcadia's and Striker II GTX's. However, Danner just came out with the Danner APB'S and apparently they are all the rave around here. They are real close to the Arcadia's but a little "sporty". Hell, I don't know how to explain it......just look at them.
I guess I am lucky to have Galls and Haix in the same town.

I never liked the Arcadias. I gave mine away to a co-worker. They were way to heavy in my opinion.
