Anderson Bean Horse Power Boots - Reviews?

[Hawkins]

Anybody own a pair? They are a good looking boot, and the price is definitely right.

How is the quality?

Comfort?

Ive heard they are poor quality for a bean boot.

Im wearing a pair right now...not the same quality as the bean boot but not the same price either...mine are brown with orange tops......very comfortable....i wear em every dayand love em. Actually wanna nother pair too!

I have yet to figure out the difference between the horse power, and the reg'lar ABs....

I've got a pair of Beans and they are my favorite boots I've ever owned. I did walk through the original leather sole in about 5 or 6 months. I sent them back, and for 35 bucks they put new soles, a rubber sole saver across the whole bottom and new heels. Since then I wore out the heels again (I walk on the outside of my heels), and have had new ones put on at the local boot/shoe repair for 15$. They are the most comfortable boots I've owned but they did take some breaking in.

i have both of them defintely cheaper than the original bean and you get what you are paying for...i buy em then wear em out in about 5 to 6 months and get them re-soled then they are good to go. puttin a new sole on em is way cheaper than buying another pair. i got them on now after being re-soled and are great. other than they are cheaper and not as high a quality than the original they are a pretty good boot and probably will buy another pair no doubt.

Just figured out mine are not Horse Powers, just reglar Beans.

I bought my regular pair back in 2006 and I fixing to get the third sole put on them. The first was the original and the second was a sole put on at a local shop. The second one lasted longer.

Horespower beans are made in Mexico and not as high of quality as normal beans.

I just picked up a pair of h-P's. they look good for a buck fifty. i had a pair a few years ago when Rios did a test run and didn't know it. my first pair was ruined with grease. they did hold up pretty good other than that.

btw- the craftsmanship is equal or better to beans, it the materials that is not. this is what i was told by two different people.

Finally picked me a pair up yesterday, I love them so far. Wasn't too fond of the crosses at first, but it's not so bad. Only bottom color and size combination that I liked. ( not that I have anything against a cross, just not my boot style )

I hope they last, as well as my Ariats.

Bottoms are Bison leather.
