Grinders Or Gripfast???

[HCMike]

I can get Grinders for $115 plus $15 for shipping or there is a store here in Dalton that has Gripfast for $100.

I guess what I am asking is, would I be better off with Grinders for the extra money or Gripfast for cheaper?

I'm used to wearing Docs so I don't really know about the quality of the other brands.

I got a pair of macks...fucking 30-40 bucks and they will probabley last a couple of years....i'm not spending over 100 bucks for boots...fuck that.

well gripfasts go for 170-200. so if you can get them for 100 id go for it

I was going to mention that gripfasts are generally a 170ish and ask where exactly you were finding them for 100. Great boots.

But if I had to choose between the two, I'd choose Grinders.

There's a store in the mall called New York Emporium. They have old boots cause no one ever buys them. There is a huge selection of brand new Docs when they were still made in England.

Grinders are total shit.I threw out a pair(shoes) they were so bad.
Seriously.
I hate to say it,but i've bought azn DM's,& they've held up fine,& i'm 230 lbs & walk 2 miles a day in mine(again,shoes).

Personally I prefer my Grinders but only because my experience has been that they run a bit wider (I generally wear a EE shoe size so shopping for shoes and boots is a major chore). Gripfasts fit..just not quite as comfortable.

One thing I did remember reading or seeing somewhere is that the company that imports Gripfasts was no longer going to do so in the US (not sure if theres a whole lot of truth to that and may just be a rumor mill..)

Every one that I've known has had problems with their Grinders. I've never actually owned a pair, but I love my Gripfast. Great boot.

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I'll go with the Gripfast. Just strait cash and no waiting for shipping.
