Tingley Men's Airgo Ultra Lightweight Boot Knee High

We farm and ranch, which means we're out taking care of critters every day, come rain, or as of late, more rain. It also means that we wear a lot of different hats, from mechanic and midwife to muckraker and mule. Over the years my wife, adult child, and I have a acquired a collection of boots for every occasion. Included in that are Mucks, Red Wings, Timberlands, Sevlors, Danners, Schnees, Whites & several others, and they all have their place, as well as their short comings. For example, I'm pretty careful to wear my old Red Wing metatarsals on days when I'm mainly in the shop, and I'm still careful to wear my loggers when taking to the woods with a chain saw, but animals and deep lugged Vibram soles do not really do well together, since they can seemingly pick up at least an extra ten pounds of mud on each foot, making for a very long and tiring day when it's wet, to say nothing of the mess it leaves in the trucks and everywhere else ya go.I saw a big pile of these in boxes at a local feed store about 8 or 10 years back, and they had marked them down to something like $25, but still couldn't interest anybody. Mucks are probably the most common foul weather/farm boot around here (lots of waterfront, bird hunting, et al), and we all have a favorite pair or two of them as well, but the insulated versions are still a bit heavy, and their very nature makes them a little warm for half the year, so I figured for $25 I can't go wrong. When I got home the wife and kid both swiped them at various times just to run out to get the mail or something, and then suddenly they were gone. Next time I went to town I picked up a pair for each of them, and they've been a favorite ever since (I later went back and bought three more pair just as a back up).There is nothing as comfortable, or as light, period. The sole tread design is perfect for us, 'cuz it doesn't hold mud and washes off in a foot bath without any serious effort. For their thickness they are amazingly warm, and yet not any worse than the Mucks when it warms up. What they obviously don't do is offer much of anything in the way of protection, and that of course is the where and how of why we routinely destroy them. They're just plastic, so no, they won't stop a nail, and yes, you will feel every sharp rock that you step on, so don't forget and wear them out hiking, but what they do extremely well is give you something easy to slip into, and even in your bare feet, they'll let ya run out to do a few missed chores without harm.Now one of the greatest shortcomings of these is in the material itself. Because we get a lot of rain their water-proofness is certainly welcome, but we also get a kind of green mold or algae looking sorta growth on just about anything organic around here, and that includes other plastics (all made from hydro carbons, which contain carbon, therefor organic in the chemical sense). That growth will turn a pressure treated yellow pine stair tread into greased Teflon before you can say broken tail bone, and once the new tread gets a little worn, they can be death on a stick on winter ice. One thing ya learn quick about farming, and logging, is that tey are incredibly dangerous, and you really have to keep your own safety front of mind all day every day, 'cuz if and when ya get hurt, chances are there isn't a spare you around to get the work done. Just sayin'.These boots are amazingly comfortable and great for what they do for us, and we simply replace them every year, which ain't bad considering they're typically being worn every day. You will break your toe trying to kick a stuck gate or crooked fence post with them, but that's just common sense, so don't do it. And they'd be about as much help as a second par of socks if you drop the bar of a running chain saw on them, so again, just common sense. But if your day includes lots of climbing over fences, totin' feed and dragging hoses, shoveling black gold and slipping into and out of your boots a dozen times or so, we all agree that you can't do any better. Lighter than the all of the rubber alternatives, comfortable, and reasonably cheap, just keep in mind their limitations.

These boots are fantastic. As soon as I opened the box they got immediately tested. It's below zero outside and snowing. After shoveling off the driveway (in dress socks) my feet were plenty warm while I couldn't feel my fingertips through my gloves. I don't know if these are made with magic but whatever it is, they're warm when they look like they wouldn't be. They also weigh almost nothing.Pros:Excellent insulating properties. Feet were plenty warm in subzero weather.Extremely lightweight. Material feels just like CrocsThe footbed liner is a nice touch for comfortMy wife said they look like some kind of fancy rubber boots that are popular now :shrugs:Cons:None really. They smell like plastic out of the box but it's not over powering and I'm sure it will dissipate.

Fits correctly for my size 11. I got a long shoe horn to push on the ledge built into the back of the heel rather than use a boot jack to take them off.

I have put these boots through some serious abuse for a year and a half - a lot on 17 acres. They weigh nothing. They can take working hard on and in a tractor, ride mower, brush, fields, woods, streams, rocks, gardening, shoveling - most anything. No, they won't protect you from nails and dropped boulders. I would be very sad without. I wish I could give these boots 10 stars.

These boots are not for walking. I bought then to walk beaches in Oregon. Results: abrasions on shins and calves and blisters on toes. They are light but too inflexible. Also on gravel, one will feel every pebble. A size or two too large and walking in snow? Maybe, but why? There is far better footwear for snow than rubber boots. This is not something for cold temperatures.If I could, I would return them.

Like to fit, and the light whiteness of these shoes

Bought this for my 85-year-old dad. He loves to work in the yard and needed lightweight garden boots because he has arthritis in his feet. These fit the bill perfectly. It's easy for him to put on and take off, lightweight and tall.

These boots are a lot lighter in weight than the regular Tingley rubber boots, which is something I like very much, but the regular Tingley boots are exactly 15 inches from the bottom of the heel to the top edge, this model is not, these are exactly 14 inches tall. This is false advertising, because the Internet page for this item and the label attached to one these boots says they're 15 inches high. I'm disappointed with the Tingley company for that reason, as I don't like to be fooled. I ordered size 11, my shoe size is 11 and a half, they fit perfectly. These are much more cushiony and comfortable that the regular Tingley boots. I like the muted dry dark brown color. I also like the removable cushiony inner sole. I like these boots very much, they feel great and I'm glad I ordered them, but it bothers me that that they said they are an inch taller than they actually are. In a flood, an inch can make a big difference. Two thumbs up.

Very light weight and comfortable.
