Well Steves not far behind you in boot cleanliness.
So far it looks like I am dead last in clean footwear

To offset the dirty ones, here is a very clean boot.(Image removed from quote.)

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! (Image removed from quote.)
These are my "do all" chukka boots. Grippy sole, gore-tex lined and smart enough once I've given them a clean. I've got plenty of other footwear, but they tend to be more activity specific.(Image removed from quote.)
Very cool. Danner used to be the hiking boot of choice 20 years ago, before everyone switched to what I call "hiking sneakers". I'd love to find a good pair of Danner leather hiking boots.Nix, let's see the bottom soles of those things!
They still look good. Nicely polished…
Oh, and my re-treads:(In some cultures it is offensive to flash or point one's shoe soles at another person, so I've stuck my potential offending soles in Spoiler.)Show contentNew(wish) Vibrams:Close up with boot maker's brass screws:These new soles gave the boots a very different feel. I think the brass screws conduct heat fairly quickly, and my feet seem to get cold in these boots more easily if standing around outside on a cold day now.
