Just imagine what the rest of my outfit
Perfect Brother!
10 min... maybe... lol.. 1 puddle and they would be brown.Good point I guess, didn’t think of that. They would be filthy in a day if I wore white boots
even wides arent wides, my son is 12, size 15 and needs wide, getting harder and harder to find something for him.Why is it that they think its one size fits all?
I remember as a kid when we went to get shoes, they would measure our feet, length AND width, and then come out with the correct size. Mine always measured as a D width.
Nowdays, I have a hard time finding any shoe in a wide width. They try to tell me to get the next size up. WHY? The next size up is longer, not wider! Especially in the area I need a wide shoe.
They don’t drive rams. They have the vans with ladders.Painters

It’s hard to find the perfect bootI've always bought Redwing boots, but only the ones that can be re-soled. That is where the value lies at least as far as I'm concerned. My first pair was a "super sole" boot and those lasted me 11 years with 3 re-soles done at $100 each time. So initially a $200 boot, then roughly 3 years later $100 and still a quality boot. They have always stayed comfortable. When my boots were ready for another re-sole I decided on a new pair this time since I slacked on keeping the leather oiled, and although not worn through the old boots had surface cracks. Here's my current pair, and I don't think the softer sole on these will last as long but I'm also not as hard on them with the work I do now.
Very true, I picked my current boots for much the same reasons. It also has the Vibram sole and is waterproof most of the way up the tongue. I spend most of the time driving my truck but end up getting into a lot of rocky/off-road areas. That Vibram sole is definitely nice when walking through that kind of environment. My old boots were definitely more of a work boot, and I did a lot of hot work (torch cutting) and like things in those. My current boots wouldn't be as good for that, so it definitely makes sense to buy a boot fit to what you do. Much like buying the right truck to fit what you need! I just pulled out my old boots, they still fit like a well worn glove but are due for a Re-sole and much heavier than my current boots.It’s hard to find the perfect boot
For me, The most comfortable and waterproof boot I’ve found was Vasque St Elias. Gore Tex and Vibram sole. But I still go through them in a year.
This is a hiker and not a work boot. I’m a pool guy so I’m doing a lot of walking in grass and on stones and such. Traction and waterproof are more important than longevity I suppose
