      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 🙂

        Think it, be it.

            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.

              Think it, be it.

                What are you doing with buttons? Either that or you've got some very serious tackle 😉

                  Buttons require for me at least undoing my belt. Zipper doesn't. Zipping up is slightly faster than buttoning up too.

                    Ah, I undo belt either way. Fair point then.

                      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.

                          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.

                              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.

                                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 🙂

                                    Dr Sanjay Gupta is about to flip the script on CNN this Sunday night. He is about to do something no one has done in the public eye, flip his opinion from against to for it. It's a big deal as far as television propaganda goes

                                      That's a pretty unpopular answer with me Mike. Totally writing off the discussion and then attacking another taxed/legal drug. I respect and honour you, and am happy to have a difference of opinion. There's no need for you to be all schoolyard/dismissive about it. We're both adults, please be more respectful next time.

                                        Almost all drugs are derived from something in nature or occur naturally. Cocaine, coca. Heroin, poppy. Cannabinoids, cannabis. The fact that its a plant that requires less processing doesn't exempt it from being a drug any more than one's personal choices as to whether they like or use it versus other drugs…

                                          Wow, I was joking around with the pee water thing.  A USA East Coast attitude/humor is hard to swallow for some people. It's called ball busting. If you took it personal, that's your bad.

                                            I get that vibe with a lot of your posts. If you say you're joking most of the time, then, cool.
