I'm sure the dealer boots will last a long time, but the ones that last 90
days or your money back are usually made in Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.  I'm
certain our list vendors have German made boots that will fill the bill
quite nicely.  Not sure the brand name isall that critical, but MADE in
GERMANY certainly is.
