Unpopular opinions
-
it's real funny how people you do not know you tend to know better than some people you may live right across the hall from. Sh!t cray.
as far as unpopular opinions i've sh!t this thread up more than enough, but never been able to whisper about stuff going on. time to get back to this mess of a thread mega has made & i do apologize for pointing at the elephant in the room . . .

no weirdness on my end, he a good dude & i can't think of a time i sent him a message & he didn't do a good thing. well there was one time, but you know, hahahahahahaha
nah all good & i hate the way he left the forum cause folks just coming on didn't really get to see his vision on some things. one of the reasons when they were talking about cleaning up posts i didn't & still don't like it. it is taking away his handprint, but you know it ain't my house & i could see how it doesn't make sense to have a blank picture & text talking about an item . . . .
i know he has a lot of love for folks despite it all, but some times you know . . .

ok…here is my unpopular opinion of the day. It might not be unpopular in the rest of the world but I know it's unpopular here.....
I like the vibram christy sole. A lot. There I said it.
-
I like it too. I dont own any boots but my favorites would probably be the tan version Alden's in the SE collab, complete with christy sole.
-
Haha I expressed my distaste for it as an unpopular opinion previously
-
the boots i own with it don't make my knees hurt after wearing them all day. it's comfortable.
-
No question RBG. That's the genesis of that style of sole, working boots for people who are on their feet all day.

I think I may prefer zipper flys. Pissing is so much easier.
-
Buttons require for me at least undoing my belt. Zipper doesn't. Zipping up is slightly faster than buttoning up too.

Agreed. Although I've never forgotten to do up a button fly. The same cannot be said about zipper flies…
-
I dig zips, although there is the fear of having sharp metal teeth so close to your gentleman's area.
Unpopular opinion of the day. All diets are bullshit, eat less, eat fresh, drink more water. End.

I was on the fence on this opinion, and you just swung it the other way for me here. Thanks, since my favorite pants are inevitably button flys.

I don't see what the big deal is with roller-buckles on engineer boots. Is it a repro thing? Who cares?! The standard buckles that came on my Wescos do the job just fine.
A little of it is style but they are more practical too. They are easier to use and don't damage the straps as much. They aren't essential but I much prefer them.
-
Interesting. I guess I've never experienced any difficulty operating my instep strap and buckle to a degree that made me feel like I needed a better buckle. The leather my boots are made with is touch as nails, so damage isn't an issue. I will say that my friend has a pair of Boss boots that were made about a year after mine, and the leather quality isn't as nice. wtf Wesco!
Now style is a different story altogether. I'll argue all day about practicality, but if that's your style then so be it
