I am interested in getting a pair of either engineer or harness boots and have seen old chippewa versions on eBay that seem to go for about the same price or close to a new pair of Schott engineers. I have heard the Schott boots are made by chippewa, who don't make their own engineer boots anymore. With that being the case would there be any difference or benefit to going with one over the other? Thanks in advance!
