Lite boots verses tingley airgo?

Anyone ever tried on or held the tingley airgo boots ? Other than being 15" verses 17 on the lite boots they appear to be basically the same exact boot for 1/2 or less than the price . Even made in the same country . The tingleys have a removable insole if you want it. I know the material is the same , but is the lite boot an improved design as far as material in the right places , heighth , etc? Curious if any of you guys have owned or at least looked at them.

I have compared the 2 of them and the Tingley has a higher arch on the bottom, I have Lites and they're flat. Just an observation.

Yeah I have the lites as well. I'd love to see and hold a pair of them to compare . I have a pretty high arch . I've no issue with the lite boots other than being noisier than other rubber boots . But the tingleys are interesting, especially with the insole. Might help with feet sliding .

I have them both. Like you said the Tingley height depends on your shoe size, my Tingley boots are 14" vs 16" in the lite boots. Other than that the Tingley boots are lighter, fit the foot better, are wider at the top and easier to get on and off. The Tingley also hug your foot more compared to the lite boots. The Tingley also have the insole whereas the lite boots don't. Same material, same country of make. In my opinion, for the money, the Tingley boot can't be beat. But I will say that I've put a year on my lite boots and just got the Tingley boots a couple weeks ago. But from my first impression and what I've worn them so far, the Tingley is the better boot and less than half the price, just a touch shorter.

The pair I have seemed to run a little big. I typically wear a 9 1/2 or 10 depending on brand. My lite boots are a 10 and they fit good. My Tingley boots are size 9 and are looser fitting than the lite boots but hug the foot better. I would say if you wear a 10.5 I'd try the 10's out.
