These Chippewas have been serving me very well. I even wear them to work if I don't think I'll be in the field much that day. Women love them, too. Hey, that counts for something! A nice pair of dark jeans (plain Levi's 501s today) a long sleeve button down and watch out.
what kind of Chippewas do you have? I had a bunch of Bean Bucks and was looking at a pair of Bean Kathadin Boots made Chippewa then discovered they are no longer made by Chippewa but made overseas by another company instead, the LL bean boots were based on the Chippewa service boot. I ended getting a pair of waterproof hiking shoes instead.
