Let's talk shoes

[BAP]

The last 6 years I have worn Danner shoes. I have the 8” work boot with steel toe in both plain and insulated. I get about 3 years out of each pair. The longest lasting work shoe I have ever worn. They are “Made” in USA or at least assembled in USA. They are expensive, but have been worth it to me.

Quarry USA 8" Brown AT

Improved durability and comfort, with the same fit and feel that craftsmen have come to rely on. Now made in Portland, OR.

I really like Tractor Supply's Ridgecut Steel toe wellingtons.
Super comfortable and seem to be very durable. I could not believe how cushy they were when I tried them on.

I like these as well. I tried on every brand TSC had and these were the the most comfortable ones. They are steel toe, electrical hazard rated, and waterproof. They are unfortunately made in China but all of TSCs name brand shoes (Wolverine, Justin, Ariat) are as well and the Ridgecuts were the lowest priced.

I wear the 511 ATAC 8" side zip boot. "tactical boot" whatever that means...

They are light weight, composite toe, nifty little pocket for a "last resort knife" just in case I've fallen and I can't get up......

side zip is handy for getting yer feets out quick.

I think the light weight is the best feature... I've got a pair of Justin brand boots and they feel like lead weights comparatively.

As long as they make these, I'll keep buying them.

In recent years lots of things are tactical, ballistic nylon and military grade

The knife pocket brought back memories of perusing the thick Montgomery Ward or Sears Roebuck catalogs when I was in grade school. They had boots that came with a knife stuck in a pocket. Christmases came and went, but I never got a pair.
