Acton rubber boot date help please

[themerchantsofvintage]

I'm at a loss as to date: 70s, 90s??? Two tone, ankle high, zip front - modish. The logo on this pair is different than the one Acton is presently using (they started in 1928).

Whaddayathink?

Thanks!

Deborah,

Have you thought about contacting Acton themselves. I found this website for them:

http://www.actoncanada.ca/


and these two email addresses.

Maybe they might consider answering your inquiry.

no date help for you, Deborah, but man-oh-man i LOVE those!!!

actually, they DO remind me of a leather pair that i got from the gap (new) in the late 80's

they were SOOOOO comfy...i wore that pair O U T. repaired, and wore them out again!

Good advice Marge - I'm feeling lazy and hoping Jonathan will weigh in :P

Those sound like a pair of Timberlands I wore out, but can't seem to part with, Mary - they're for yard work now. I really like these too, but a tad small for my feet. :(

I don't know. They are really hard to read... My gut is saying they are quite recent but I really don't know. Do they have a brand name like 'Wings' or 'Plasti-Lite'? Those are both Acton lines that were started by 1963 and gone by 1984 (I don't have exact dates).

Thanks, Jonathan - no other markings. I'll go with your gut and I won't list under vintage.
