Wirecutter's Shoe Porn

Had to down and buy me some fucking work boots today. The old ones still had another 6 months to a year in them but they're insulated and damn, I didn't want to go through another 100+ degree summer in them. And yes, that's 550 cord for laces - best laces in the world, you wear the boots out before they break.

THE OLD


THE NEW

    And you'll wear them until they flap when you walk... *sigh*

    Yup, even when they leak from the bottom up.
    Thankee, thankee. Now I got my old boots for the winter and my new ones for the summer.

    Oh oh. Slip ons, huh. Well I guess we all have to accept our limitations as we age! ;)

    I'll bet the first few times you slip them on you'll still reach down for the laces!

    I just got new workboots this week too. I hate breaking new ones in, but my old ones were too far gone. A week of walking funny and sore feet.

    Darn, I was hoping to see your hairy legs modeling them. Very nice boots.

    Ironmonkey - And that's why I bought them the first day of my vacation. I can break them in before they hurt my feet at work.

    I had to get new work shoes last week. Mine were so bad the entire heel had tore loose from the upper and my heel was hanging out.
    I have to have steel toes also at work.
    I got a pair of steel toed Romeo's. They slip on and don't weigh five fucking pounds apiece like the last pair of boots did.
    They are the way to go.

    Yeah, I generally wear steel toes even when I don't have to. They're great in an asskick.

    Fucking sweet!

    Those look like Redwings.
    I'm getting mine re-soled this year. A damn fine pair of boots, once you break them in.
