sorry for the let down, this aint about taylor.
Im looking for info on the boot company.

I think some of you have been in the telecom or lineman business, I have a pair of lineman boots I got from my uncle about 10 years ago, it was a used pair he had, got it when I was in school for telecom and climbing phone poles.

cant find any information about these online
anyone know about the brand?
they're knee high leather
on the bottom of the sole they say knapp oil resistant

are they made in usa?
value?
etc
thanks

wow , i remember when the knapp guy used to come around to where i worked 35 yrs ago .

he measured using a brannock device and your shoes/boots would arrive a couple weeks later

weren't sold in stores as i remember . back when shoes were made in this country : )

Not exactly the style you described, but Googling 'Knapp Leather' turned up this.

Apparently they do have value, especially if they are vintage...

But then, searching for 'Knapp Leather Boots' turned up the mother lode:
http://www.knappstore.com/indexKS.asp
which is now:
http://www.kbfootwear.com/
And the 'About Us' info is:
http://www.kbfootwear.com/about.asp

That was WAY TOO EASY...
