@neph93 Doubles on ice are tricky and I have to do more of a shuffle when walking (true pretty much any time when it’s extremely icy for all footwear). The warmth though is worth it.
Every winter I tell myself I’m going to buy the slip on ice cleats, but forget until winter is halfway over. Our winter weather has been progressively warming for the last 15 years. When I first came to Canada 30 years ago, we always had a week (or two) of -40. I haven’t seen that in years. Now our coldest days/weeks are -20 and we’re not even seeing much of that anymore.

Sadly, yes. To clarify, if winters were miserable like they used to be, then I would remember to buy cleats due to necessity.
However, since winters have been getting warmer, I forget that the cleats would be handy for the few slippery days every winter.
Mid winter, cold weather cabin fever, brain fog has set in. I really need a week in some tropical location for some warm weather alcohol induced brain fog (much more enjoyable).

Wow… it’s all happening on this thread...
@motojobobo and @goosehd … love both those pairs of JM’s.. goosed, you look very similar to mine but with extra ‘ shit kicker’ soles.. that burlap on giles’s mr Lou’s? Looks neat too.
I’ve just received my custom Jobmasters
this morning after a 4 month wait…, single midsole in charcoal, bit of a gamble as I want sure how They’d turn out but they are awesome. I went for an ‘E’ width rather than the D on my others, and I must say having worn them all day, have been a lot more comfy from the get go. The others took and age to break in but almost like slippers now

The last few pages of this thread are phenomenal! Can't wait to see those Packers @Graham.
I reckon it's about time for me to get some roughout burlap Johannes boots. I've been going back and forth with Chris at Wesco with my ideas. I'll post the final build once I make up my mind.

@Baba-san sweet pair!
what soles do you have on those? Vibram 700? -
Oh that bison leather… I can’t wait for the weather improve so I can get back to wearing my bison Romeos.
-
@teddyjay #700
Love the bison learner texture..
-
@Baba-san how’s the grip in the snow? I like the look of the 700 sole.
-
Like the green on those Rueben… sweet
@teddyjay … considering there is no real tread pattern they are not too bad at all
-
