Something to look up, Castor oil not as a renewable 2 stroke but as a performance 2 stroke. It is degummed and mixed thus minimizing the issues with 100% Castor oil, but the other properties are intersting and worth a look.

Castro is one of the top performers into a stroke oil‘s. Arguably better than Ester. The downside is the flashpoint has extremely high and majority of the time when this is used your engine requires teardown and cleaning periodically because you will get some build up.

That’s a very common oil used in the racing world.

Some guys will mix Castro oil with others to try and get some of the benefit and not have to worry about cleaning.

Danner Bull Runs mock is my everyday shoe, rainforests are the best work boot I ever had. I'd look at their usa boots, substanically better then their imports. 25% off til Monday, purdy good ol deal right there. Best customer service anywhere, for any reason you are happy they ship them back, just don't wear them outside til you know they are comfortable. The double leather (super rainforests) needs break'n in period, so do bull runs, but once broken in they are like wearing slippers.

I going to order the super rain forest That was in my link. Iv had the Quarry USA alloy toe for well over 2 years now.... maybe 3 and I wear them EVERY DAY.

And they are still going pretty strong. They look haggard but AMAZINGLY are still THE MOST comfortable boot iv ever had. I’ve never had a boot that was still comfortable a year into use. And im possibly close to 3 years in these. I’ve also never had a boot where the leather has lasted so long and through so much

these double leather super rainforest boots should last WAY longer.

Thanks Mike for letting me know about the sale

That guy looks like a total douche.

Nice boot though. Single stitch only...?

I like 8” tall boots only though.

whatsa matter u? that's james bond man.

I think it is double sticked, I'd have to check.

so it's double stiched, but it is thin stiching. I think it is just one piece of leather and they stich a strap to aid slipping them on with, I don't know for sure. What I like it there is a leather strap that goes over the tongue so you don't get any weeds or pebbles in the shoe, like ever.

I see it appears single stich into sol, I'm not sure other danners are any different. I think rainforests are the same. But if you look closely it looks like one piece of leather.

Spot on for me. But if you buy from Danner and they dont fit. They pay for everything in an exchange.

I’m pretty solid size 10 in just about every boot I’ve ever had. So I’m gonna do it!

What you going to get? Keep me posted[emoji1787]. We are taking about boots in an oil thread[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

As mike said. The more America they are the quality goes WAY up. But so does the price.

Break in period is harsh sometimes. Its the thick leather and crazy stitching. but with they break it they are amazing.

Well both pairs of my work boots for home are about done, so I will probably go with those.
