Shoes

[uber]

I won't wear anything but Redwings. Wear cheap shoes if you feel your feet ain't all that important. I wear these in the summer with shorts, and get some insulated hitops for the winter. http://www.redwingsafety.com/safety-boot/926-safe-us/926

Bad request.

Bad request.

I know. That is why I edited it. Go to redwing page and enter style 926.

These will last at least a year. Not good when it rains or snows.

Danner makes a uniform boot called the "Acadia" (it might also be called the "patrol") which is popular with police. They are a combination of black polishable leather with breathable black nylon/cordura type material in the upper part. They have the waterproof goretex liner. I have worn them for work before and I really like them. They have a high-top version and a 6" low-top that you can wear with shorts. Made in America and resoleable. The last time I was at the outlet store, the factory seconds were going for around $170 or so. The only reason I bought Explorers instead was because they didnt have the Acadias in my size.

The "patrol" boots look like they have a really heavy duty sole which makes them look heavy. Then I look at the striker II 45 GTX and they look more like a boot shoe. I just feel weird buying a shoe and not being able to try it on (online orders).

This is why I miss Borders---I used to go there and "try on" a new book before going to Amazon to buy it.

...which is the reason that Borders, along with so many other small, local bookstores have gone out of business.

They don't give you a hard time with the uppers not being polishable leather?

That plus they did not hop on the e-reader train quickly enough and they got left at the station.

A book is just as good at Goodwill for 89 cents as it was when it was a new release 2 years earlier.

I have a pair, but don't know which model off the top of my head. Don't really wear them to work much, as they're more of a dress boot & expensive. They're finally breaking in & pretty comfortable.

waiting to see if this was a legit bump of my old thread or not...

Ive been wearing Nike Air Monarchs with a cross trainer insole from Spenco (Champs $20) for 13 years. Working preload and driving, I get about 4 to 6 months an a pair of shoes. The insoles have a 1 yr warranty. I return them back to Champs after 6 months, get a new pair. 6 months later, I buy another pair, and so on, so on.... I get the shoes at Rack Room for $59-65 and usually get the 2nd pair 1/2 off. Tried a pair of New Balance, didnt like them. Tried Wolverine boots for 1 day, YIKES!!! Ive considered trying a pair of Brooks Addiction. They cost about $89 but I cant find a local shoe store who carries them.
