Wearing boots all the time and having as many different pairs as I have, I&#8217;ve learned a thing or two about boot construction and quality. I truly believe that All American boots are a great value for the money.  They are made in a small shop in California, using equipment that once belonged to the Bond Boot Company (that made Effingham boots, for example.)  I have had a pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/cycle\/allamerican.html\">All American Patrol Boots<\/a> that I wear a lot, and continue to enjoy their style, comfort, durability, and ease-of-maintenance.  (For information on how to maintain a great shine on these boots, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?p=1393\" target=\"_blank\">see this post elsewhere on this blog<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>The only trouble with All American Boots is that they were not as easy to get as other major brands, such as Dehner or Wesco.
