These boots are made for walking

What's on your feet? Do you like boots, sneakers, or some other kind of footwear?

I just bought these beauties, Panama Jack Felina Igloo Boots. Really warm!!!

I really like your boots!

I almost exclusively wear Floris van Bommel shoes, but those are not really useful for outdoorsy stuff

Those are nice looking boots Serena.

I mostly wear lightweight waterproof hiking shoes or boots in the colder weather and running shoes in the summer.

It can get REALLY cold now.

Yep…

Great thread

I wear a few different brands of boots for work, usually wear one pair out before using the next

Right now I am wearing Ariats, not insulated so we will see how i fair this winter with that

I have done this before with just wool socks but the coldest it normally gets here is in the low teens F. On occasion it dips down to 0° F but hope we take that day for days off

Insulated boots are overkill for me on a typical winter day in Spain,

Poncho65 · **Reply #8 on:** December 05, 2018, 02:24:48 PM

I guess I should convert my F to C and see what the temps should be

but it is rather cold but that is relative to other places in the world where it really does get cold

Poncho65 · **Reply #9 on:** December 05, 2018, 02:30:45 PM

ok Celsius makes me feel like it is cold here

Serena · **Reply #10 on:** December 05, 2018, 02:34:09 PM

Getting a little bit colder next week.

I guess I have just like having warm feet.

But, back to shoes now.

Well, I luckily have great circulation and have been facing the elements year round for 20 + years (wow that seems like a long time now that I type it down)

So to me insulated boots are nice but not a must have

Poncho65 · **Reply #13 on:** December 05, 2018, 02:40:40 PM

I have a bit of a boot problem

my wife sees a good deal and then I tell her go ahead and order them

now I forget how many pairs I have

I try not to buy to many ahead but at least I do eventually wear them and wear them out

I only wear boots from late fall into early spring. Hence they seem to last forever.

Here are my go to's. I do have a couple of pairs of insulated boots but I rarely wear them even when well below 0°F unless I have to be outside standing around for any length of time. I find a good thick pair of wool socks and not too tight shoes or boots work just fine for me.

The running shoes I wear from early summer to early fall. Light cool and comfortable and great for walking.

Some nice footwear, Steve

Serena · **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2018, 04:24:28 PM

These are the shoes I wear at the job. Meindl…
The inside is totally destroyed, so ordered a new pair today. The boss is paying!!!

Nix · **Reply #19 on:** December 05, 2018, 04:29:20 PM

Meindl makes nice boots.

Serena · **Reply #20 on:** December 05, 2018, 10:36:05 PM

They do, actually like them again. Walked on 5.11 for a couple of years. They're trashed so I started using these again.
Hope the fresh pair arrives soon…

I wear Bates Enforcer boots.

to work, to school, to cut the grass, to snow-blow. everywhere

I keep the old ones for yard work, and when I get a new pair, all of the others get upgraded. New for daily wear, so old daily wear gets moved to yard pair, and that pair gets send down to snow-blowing pair, and that one gets moved to mud work.

I feel they are as comfortable as tennis shoes, with added ankle support, and the round nub traction gives good traction in any direction.

My work attire is "business tactical" these boots , 5.11 tacticle tac lite pro pants, and a dress shirt (sometimes with tie)

these boots are all I have worn for the past 10 years or so.

Nice footwear y'all. I am still wearing my Thorogoods. 1 pair for work and one pair everything else. I wear Merells when hiking. I have a pair of 25 or so year old boots by Havana Joe. I keep my boots almost as clean as Nix.
