Thread: Shoes

Wxman and I both wear vibram five finger shoes. They are great. It's like walking barefoot only you dont get glass stuck in your feet.

You beat me to this idea for a thread.

Here is my footwear. Redwing boots. Every year I get a new pair for work and then delegate the old ones to home use. These are about 1.5 years old. Hunting with my brother last week he noticed that he had different boots on each foot. The same make and model but from different pairs. He does the same as I and has 4 pairs in the closet.

I do have a couple of pairs of shoes around the house but I would have to search to find them.

Yay!! Pictures!! WOOT! Thanks 32t

Just won these on the bay. A apir of brand new William Lennon Ammo boots. William Lennon is a little factory in the Derbyshire dales that still makes work boots the old fashioned way and at a good price too.

William Lennon Boots



The boots are built like the proverbial brick s**thouse and I reckon they will see me out!

usually J. Chisolm cowboy boots or Redwing laceups, but working around the house it a pair of tennis shoe Sketchers I think.

I have a pair of shoes here that someone has been trying to throw out on me for awhile now. I keep saying those aren't holes its air conditioning.

I had... as you see I said had... a pair of cheap mesh water shoes that I wore for the last 5 years... They were the best ... I went to the back doctor the other day and he looked at them and looked at me and said... "XXXXXXXXXXXX" so when I got home they went in the trash...

My back thanks me...

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, hi-tops, been my basic shoe since I was 9. Otherwise I've got three pairs of Docs 8, 10, and 14-hole, one pair of Gripfast (another english boot) and Sanuk sandals (they're lined with yoga-mat material, I can walk for miles and miles and miles in them) for the So Cal summer.

I feel ya Phil. I had to chuck out me favourite pair of thongs the other day (the Aussie style of thongs that go on yer feet, and not up yer bum crack)...15 years I had them, and man were they comfortable, Moulded to my feet. But just the other day, they up and give in on me. My wife told me it would be silly to hold a funeral for them, and we couldn't really afford the full sized coffin for what amounted to a shabby pair of footwear. She just didn't seem to understand. Faithful service like that should be rewarded with more than being tossed in the wheely bin .

I'm on my feet all day, in an Oncology clinic so I wear a pair of New Balance 860v4's...just picked them up last week, each year I buy the same model from the same local store. They come in 4E (extra wide) and fit my feet perfectly.

Each year they come out with a new version (v1, v2, v3 and this year was v4) the style improves each year, along with the support but the fit never changes, and that's what I love about them.
