I've worn 151's for the last few years and love 'em for heavy duty work. You feel indestructible. For slamming around in the hole doing form work they're unbeatable. The clerk at the time recommended Sno-Seal as the only treatment and that was inadequate conditioning for my use/sweat levels, I should have been using the Viberg product form the get-go. Horrendous break-in period, and pretty darn heavy and warm. Very expensive but if you use proper treatment from the start you would come out ahead, and you spend your time in awesome boots instead of some shit-piece Dakotas. I generally wear Blundstones once I'm framing off a deck and for roof framing for the improved comfort and agility.
