What's on your feet? · PACKERSHOME

Shoes, a basic that most of us wear everyday. Some prefer their boots as they work and ride on their motorcycles almost daily. Others like their soft leather loafers or dress shoes. Many like my self wear the same pair of shoes 90% of the time (Black Leather Reebok Tennis Shoes).

Another thing, my shoes must always fit my feet. By that I mean that I have a very wide foot and require a high arch support. I've bought work boots in the past and had to add arch supports.

What is your shoe story? Are you a boot person or a $300.00 Air Jordan man. Do you prefer cloth, or leather, or maybe nylon? Share your shoe views here.

Boots.

I like the shit kicker boots my dad told me about when I was a kid. Call them harness boots nowadays. Engineer boots are ok too. Got a steel toed for work, black for formal occasions and brown ones for casual. 👍

As long as were talking about footwear, I have a question.

I like those Alaska TV series where Trappers and Hunters make their lives in the wild. My question is this, from one show to the next I see all of the veterans as well as the informed rookies wearing the same cream colored snow boots. They must be the best that one can get. Does anyone know who makes those boots / who sells those boots ?

Those boots are I believe the ones the military uses. Known as “Mickey mouse boots”. They have 2 colors, the cream and dark green. You can get them at army surplus stores.
I had a pair, and they didn’t work as well for me as they do for most people.
I have a problem where my feet always sweat. In warm or cold weather, my feet always are cold.
But most people I have talked to , really like them.

I wear Nike tennis shoes. Got them at Goodwill for $15.
Then in winter weather, a pair of boots with “Thinsilate” insulation. I got them at Cabelas probably about 12 years ago in their “close out cave”. They were normally about $120, and I got them for about $40.
They work pretty well for me.

new balance tennis shoes seem to be a better fit for my wide feet...besides, no more Nike for me.

Ecco casual shoes as they seem to be helpful for my planter fasciitis

For dress shoes, and has to be Port Washington’s own Allen Edmonds.

Plantar Fasciitis is more common than many will admit. I have had to deal with it and my solution is high arch supports.

As a side bar, I once owned/used a real pair of steel toed, asbestos lined, knee high Firemans Boots. I recall that I needed to add cotton to fill out the toe areas and a pair of Dr.Scholl's arch supports. I needed the boots sometimes for my shipyard job. Toughest footwear I ever owned.

Zero2Cool (5h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (5h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (8h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (8h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (11h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (11h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
