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.
