We bought steel toed Timberline boots at the Hatian market in POP. I think $30 US. If you know someone to send them to you on the bus, may be worth it.

I'd look in Americana.

Robert, call a contractor friend. They'd be able to tell you.

arent Payless shoes 100% plastic? Your feet must stink wearing those things in the tropics?

Good for you because I don't think you'll wear an used pair from the Haitian market, aids Haiti receive from the rich nations...

Haiti is prime dumping ground of counterfeits...
They are exactly like the real thing, but buyer beware! The quality is nowhere near the real McCoy!

China's manufacturers that worked for several labels and companies like Timberland's, keep all the gear used to fabricate the upper and even complete products. They're able to create the identical item with ease, just like if it had been an order from the label house. The thing is the matrix labels will only send them the raw materials as per order from their own secured supply channels, and the materials used on the replicas are nowhere near the real deal.

Haiti is the mothership of counterfeits! If it can be copied and sold as the real thing (quality be dammed), Haiti is the place to send it to. Even before the quake and aftermath, Haiti keeps also getting counterfeited goods from legitimate sources that donate the seized goods, only to see their donations resold on the Haitian blackmarkets bypassing the intended beneficiaries.

To put it even simpler: Hardly any label or international brand can be said to have a licensed vendor/retailer in Haiti today!

Take a look know it all Mens - Rugged Outback - Steel Toe Work Boot - Payless Shoes

look like plastic to you.

There is a label inside the shoe usually on the tongue but definitely inside the shoe that says "This shoe was assembled from all Man made materials." then it usually says "MADE IN CHINA".

Even in your ad it says right there the last sentence, man made materials.

Man made materials is code for not real leather but plastic. And I read feet will stink into that.

There is a REAL difference between a Red Wing, a Timberland, a 3M work shoe and a Payless shoe.

That is exactly what I brought today!

Mine says leather and man made material, made in Thailand.
Leather uppers and man made sole, well made, light and comfortable, plus only RD$2,000.

I would take all that with a grain of salt. What is comfortable on the day you bought them may not be the case in 2 weeks or so. I go through these shoes like nothing and I am skeptical about Payless shoes.
