Show us your boots

[Megatron1505]

This year I chose as my "shittiest weather/ deep snow/ harsh conditions" walking boots a pair of deep tread, waterproof, cap toed Israeli special forces boots (they cost me £1 from ebay). In a few minutes I will attempt to walk 2.5 miles to work in them, walk around at work all day in them, then walk home. I expect to be crying by the time I get home, but this is the best way that I have found to break in new boots

they are so lightweight….

Abingtons from MadMonday

IJ, those Abingtons are amazing. They're still the most comfortable boot that I own.

do you wear your boots when you visit the islands?

No I dont wear boots in JA, or pants for that matter! I rediscovered cowboy boots about a year or so ago and it combines well with my IH mania…

[madmonday]

i could imagine you walking along in those boots & the looks you would get from some of the locals. . .although i think some of the youths would actually pick-up the cowboy boot thing & run with it.

to get back on track dope boots & individual style, not my thing, but you can't knock it till you try it

Nice boots.

And I thought I had unnecessarily many boots with four pairs

Thanks. I have 4 older pairs I didn't even show. HA 

[injunjack]

4 pairs ain't enough

@injunjack:

4 pairs ain't enough

1. Hiking boots for rough use/hiking. (Danner mountain light)

2. Black "nice" pair for work (Doc Martens Ormond)

3. Brown "nice" pair for work (Alden Indy chromexcel)

That is pretty much what i use 95-98% of the time.

Really want to get a pair of these, mostly for when I am too lazy to deal with laces, can't find them on the red wing website though, anybody know what's up with that?

Just noticed these when popping down to the rear porch to fill Mme B's wine glass up…..

Just got my Carolina Engineers resoled.

Does anyone know how the quality of Nicks Boots compare to Whites or Viberg ?

[taksaha]

Any suggestions for a pair of nice hiking boots along the lines of Diemme or Fracap's mountaineering boots? Diemme's US12 is just a tad too small and it seems that Fracap's aren't made any bigger than EU45 (US11).
