I've never worn anything but boots for this job. Timberland's do the job for me:Seems like most everyone wears athletic- or walking-type shoes. No boots? I wear these all year long, Thorogood boots. Made in USA, too.

These are my running shoes. Saucony Guide and New Balance 903's.
Oh, and here are my cycling shoes.
