Non Metal Detecting Boots

[Mike Nixon]

Hi there, like to know good quality non metal boots when i detect with my gpx 6000. I tried Bates boots, they came apart and seem not to have good support for climbing.

Thanks,

Mike

It is hard to find much of any kind of shoe/boot that has a proper sew on welt and sole. When you find some they are relatively expensive but usually superior quality. You know, made like they used to, So very old fashion. These modern, mass produced, cheap overseas labor glue on soles do not hold up well at all.  Maybe Danner or Red Wing  or some quality Western boots like Tony Llama.

I recently bought a pair of used non-metal boots for $50. They're made by Royer. Mine are the 6" 'Rover' model. Great condition, comfortable, and will last me the rest of my prospecting career, I bought them online on Ebay from a place I think called "used shoes. com" or something like that. Before that I bought a pair that were claimed to be non-metal, and found out they lied. Chinese brand, of course.
