I’ve never owned a pair of Arizonas. Anyone know how to date these?

Last photo is a normal one for reference

I was born a little after the cassette era (I’m 23) but I’ve always wanted an old walkman. Found this for ten bucks at an estate sale and all it needed was a new belt. Belt came in today and she works! Picked up a few cassettes at the thrift and I couldn’t be more excited. I cant believe the original headphones even work!!

Size 3xl makes it even funnier

I found these and wasnt sure that they were even old at all because Im not familiar with wrangler. After watching some videos i think they could be 1984? The scovill zipper and made in usa tag makes me think they are vintage.

I’ve had my smokejumpers for a little over a year now and they’re the only boot I wear for work. I do some rx fire, but primarily land management and surveying (all on harsh terrain in a post fire environment).

The last week was rainy and my boots were soaked for at least three full work days. I dont know if the constant movement while soaked worked out all their oils, but they’re concerningly dry. I oiled the hell out of them with mink oil and it soaked it right up and its like i never oiled them. For context, I’ve only ever used mink oil on them.

After doing some research, I see there are several different oils and conditioners I could potentially be using on them.

I absolutely love these boots and there is no way I could ever afford another pair, what can I do to keep them as well maintained as possible?

These pictures are just hosed off and dryed after work yesterday, I’m gonna clean them up better today. I usually use super diluted dr.bronners and a soft bristle toothbrush to clean them
