Thrift Store Score: $4 Georgia, Made in US leather boots with Carbo-tec Sole and ComfortCore®; insole

 

So this insole says "patent pending" - it has an AMAZING shock absorbing comfort...


I wonder when they got their patent

patented Comfort Core insole.

So it's patented now but it was "pending" when these boots were made!

 Carbo-Tec™ outsoles start with real rubber, which is one of the most durable

 vintage for sale.

These Georgia books sell as "vintage" for about $60 - a lot more than $4!!!

So the patent was filed in the 1990s and issued in the early 2000s


the outsole and insole "fit into each other" - fascinating.

I'll have to look at that again. I was trying to fit the insole back in correctly but didn't notice that secret...


So a "made in USA" shoe is rare these days...


They seem to have a strong following - I can see why - the boots don't fall apart and they're super comfortable for being steel-toed.

I did a brown leather polish treatment and then two coats of silicone spray...

The Carbo-Tec outsole is highly flexible so you can move with ease.

 

That does make a difference!

Everyone says how comfortable these boots are. It truly feels like your feet are being well-cushioned - like laying on a very nice bed but while standing!


well you can just see the outline of the outsole. It's bigger than I remembered.

But supposedly their newer boots are not as good quality. I don't know.

New for $150 is a lot more than $4.
