    I'm going to call Indy4x tomorrow, as it seems they are the only ones who can supply the Mecatech boot kits in the US.

    My question though, are there any other options that folks have used that seem to last?

    Thanks - Bart
    I can't comment on their longevity, as they're still NIB, but I bought a set of 4 that are virtually identical to the mec-a-techs off ebay...under $60 for the set IIRC.

    I can't find the source right now as I'm away from home base, but I have it bookmarked back home.

    Bart, I haven't used them, but I've heard that the Mecatech's actually don't last as long as you think they would given their price. Talking to people out in Moab, it sounds like stock Izusu boots, or the AutoZone/Napa/O'reily's replacement boots work just fine and last a long time.

    I think Marlin when through a set of Mecatech's fairly quickly and then went back to stock style boots and hasn't had a problem. Hopefully he will chime in to give his opinion.
