Opinion: aisle seats are lame. Only thing lamer is a middle seat. I wanna lean against the fuselage while I sleep and to not be awoken by the old chap with the enlarged prostate. Since I'm a piss camel I'm not worried about getting out. But come time to leave the plane that isle asshole better be ready.
You must be my long lost twin. I feckin hate aisle seats. I can easily do a transatlantic flight with no piss. I sit down, put my earphones in, have too much to drink and ignore everyone (including Paula)….The first time we flew long haul together she thought she had done something to piss me off, now she just takes the piss and tries to make me reluctantly interact with her and other human beings.....

I've been up and down with the Christy, I loved them, then hated them, and now I'm coming around again.
-
Perhaps we are long lost twins, I'm completely with you here. I think I may have griped about them previously. Are they comfortable? Sure, in a way. I prefer a bit more firmness. But they look so trashy. They just ruin the look of anything above them.

I feel the same about service boots, fed up of seeing them.
I like some of the more vintage style engineer boots, weirdly I think they look better with a thicker sole. I really like Rafas but never saw the fuss about Road Champs at all.
-
Flat toe profile engineers are the best. The toe profile on davito's Viberg horse engineers are exactly how it should be done. I don't like the bulbous lasts, though I understand the necessity with steel toe versions.
-
I've been tempted with a pair of Wesco Boss, but I'm sticking with Bounty Hunters as my favourite boot style.
-
See, I think they are nice boots, particularly considering I love a pull on. However I have seen the style done to death, so I wouldn't get a pair. I like classic looks as much as everyone else, but you gotta have variants somewhere. It's like Meg with the service, burned out for me.

I'm ready. I'm even many rows up the plane already. If you have any kind of shoulders on you, and are flying on 2-4 hour hops, even coast to coast in US sometimes, the window seats on those smaller planes don't cut it. Your shoulder is hunched the whole flight, and if you are an old geezer like me, you go lame. Younger days, I didn't mind and agree there is more peace stuffed into the window. Weirdly, the middle seats are often the best. No shoulder cramp from the convex fuselage curve, no aisle walkers and carts knocking your other shoulder, and sometimes the seats, on certain planes, are outfitted to be at least an inch or more wider. Then again, I sometimes just suck it up and stand in the back of the plane til everyone's on and take the most open seat left…forward. The engine noise at the rear is brutal.

I fucking love flying, solitude with booze and an entertainment screen is like my idea of heaven.

I feckin hate, really feckin hate Christy soles….
Yep. They may have a purpose, but then again, so do orthopedic shoes. I'm not gonna wear them by choice.
I really like Rafas but never saw the fuss about Road Champs at all.
Yep. Something about the proportions; they're distinctive, just not appealing.
