I almost exclusively wear Floris van Bommel shoes, but those are not really useful for outdoorsy stuff :)
Post by: SteveC on December 05, 2018, 01:54:51 PM
I mostly wear lightweight waterproof hiking shoes or boots in the colder weather and running shoes in the summer.

I wear a few different brands of boots for work, usually wear one pair out before using the next :salute:
Right now I am wearing Ariats, not insulated so we will see how i fair this winter with that :ahhh 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 :whistle: :D

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.

I guess these Danner pull-ons would be my equivalent to those Chukkas. My go-to, 'do all' boots. They started out as Danner's, but they've had a few sets of replacement insoles and they are sporting their third set of soles (Vibram treads installed by a local boot maker). A bit scuffed and scarred, but still serviceable for daily use. I think they still have plenty of life left!Still got the cleanest boots around. :salute:

Extremely extremely well made, but of the dozen or more pairs I tried on they were all too narrow in the heel! (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181207/69b750d4de446e3d99938b76d5db3d47.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181207/35d9f8d369bc759fa7df7f0f12bcc41c.jpg)

Hi NiX,
Yeah I've seen them online and Amazon and whatnot, but as NKlamerus has pointed out, fit is important. I try not to buy my boots online for that reason, and I *never* see Danner Mountain Lights in stores. Too many people want brown sneakers but I need the support of leather near my right ankle because it looks like > instead of like >

Post by: ThundahBeagle on December 08, 2018, 03:25:54 AM
I suppose I could get a pair, narrow though Klamerous has said they are in the heel, and just stretch the leather slowly while waterproofing it at the same time...

If shoveling/snow blowing out on the sidewalk you wouldn’t even know, if no snow and just concrete it’s like that noisy car with a rock in its tire, but you don’t feel anything because theres 14 in each and spread apart, unlike if there were like 4 and you would think you had a pebble stuck in a groove.. now going shopping no, cause if walking on that finished smooth concrete, yeah all clicking when walking in a perfect straight line, but when turning, SCREEEEECH! So there used only when winter and I gotta clean the sidewalks off,I forgot my very safe winter boots,Oh man, with every step I would think that there's a little pebble stuck or something.

If they hadn't fit, it probably would have taken until July to have fitting shoes in hand. :ahhh (or "on feet", I might say)
I'll have to ease into these.
They absolutely do not allow you to walk with your heel contacting the ground first on each step. 0 padding. I'll have to walk on the balls of my feet.
On the flip side, they fit like gloves and weigh only 250 grams. :D

Lashings of Urad makes them well nigh 100% waterproof and the famous air-cushion sole makes them very, very comfortable.

I wear Dunlop Purofort Plus Full Safety boots around the farm working and hiking in the woods. Since I don't go places like I did pre-COVID, I wear them more than anything else. I also wear them to town when I do go. These are MUCH more comfortable than the Muck Boots they replaced, which the foam calves had turned into Swiss Cheese, and the boots were no longer really waterproof. I did not want something cheap (I had a pair of Servus on which the heel ripped out after less than a year); and I didn't want foam calves as they rip in brush thickets and around barbed wire, and I wanted full safety and certified slip-resistant. I ended up paying $180 for them; which was about double what the Mucks were. Luckily, I'd been planning to replace the Mucks for a year at the time. I plan to get 5 years out of them like I did the Muck. These are really comfortable, and I can wear them a long time without my feet hurting. I'm a size 9.5W/EE, but these are 10s, to allow for heavy socks. I've fallen and slipped in these MUCH less than the old Mucks (and the cheap Itasca I still keep around for snow boots, since they have a foam calf) or Servus.

The tread. I didn't clean them before I took these photos back in late Oct.

These are the cheaper Dunlop Chesapeake; about $25. These are also steel toe. These I wear for just general "throw on" and they replaced a pair of Crocs, and the Servus that wore out prematurely. I didn't really need a second pair, but I like having a cheap option. Plus, if I get something on them, it's not like the expensive boots. Basically, these are garden shoes. They suck in the winter, however. Thus, they are warm-weather only. The tread collects snow which freezes, and then causes me to fall on my rear. The steel toe cap in these is also cold, due to the much thinner rubber they are made out of.

I picked up some decent boots that had very low mileage on them. I cannot recall the name off hand. I also picked up some Clark desert boots ( Chukka ). These were also pre owned, its not something is typically do but these also were seldom worn. I picked up both incredibly cheap. I'll post up pics later.

These Dr. Martens brown Chelsea boots have been my go-to boots for the last year. https://www.drmartens.com/uk/en_gb/p/11853201

Nice Dr.Ms, Gareth :tu:
I always liked their boots but the UK made ones. Was very sad when they moved the production of some models to Asia. :(

My favorite boots so far are Thorogoods. The price went way up since I bought my first pair. I'll take my worn beat up ones in for a resole which can be done since they have a Goodyear stitch. In the mean time I bought the black ones but since I got the Wolverines I'll wear those till they are ready for the bin.
