[Vision2020] FYI: Danner Boots; Chippewa Shoes

[Mark Solomon]

White used to make a non-custom fit boot under the name of Buffalo 
boot. I bought a pair fifteen years ago at Orchards Shoe Shop in 
Lewiston and still wear them on an almost daily basis. Great boots at 
half the price of the custom fit White's if they are still available. 
Comes in narrow sizes, too.
