    What's cooking?

    "Why are you making ribs, and wearing orthopedic shoes?" I am mentally a mess. Discombobulated. Football season is over. It's a Tuesday. And there's no reason whatsoever that I need to wear Indiana Jones boots.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I bought a 2nd pair. Jim Green is the best leather to cost shoe @ $149. Real value. They're very hard to break in. Your feet will hurt. Double layer of leather with a single piece vamp. A 3rd layer of leather on the toe cap and heel counter. Leather insole and midsole. Now buttery...

    dating stacy adams shoes?

    Every shoe manufacturer has a bunch of information inside of the shoe. Usually at the top of the shaft or inside of the tongue. Style no., batch code, and things like that. Only problem is nobody knows how to decode that information. And nobody from any shoe company ever steps up to...

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    I took them out for a test drive to The Bar. They feel good. Every step is soft and bouncy. I could break into a sprint, and run, if needed. Perfect traction. This is not the shoe that you want, if you are looking for the old style of Allen Edmonds from decades ago. The inside of the...

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    I can't find anything wrong. They looked fine. Not even the "F2" stamp on the shoe to indicate a factory second. It wasn't tried on as a display model or a retail return, as the original factory lace pattern is still on the shoe. I put them on my feet, and they felt fine. I got my $100...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I took a look at the outside. No obvious signs of wear and damage yet. No cuts, scuffs, or gouges in the leather. No loose threads or panels coming apart. The sole has plenty of tread left. I looked inside. I stuck my hand inside. No moisture or dampness. The lining is still pretty...

    Resole Shoes

    Iron Rangers sell for $349. For $150, the factory will refurbish your boot. How does a cobbler charge $350 to resole them?

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I have no idea how bid process works or doesn't work. What I do know is that our uniforms are similar, but not always the same. Different brands, labels, and such; change from year to year. Same with the boots. Mostly, they look the same. But I will get different brands, sometimes with...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I no longer have to wear a uniform. But I still wear the boots. I like "nice" boots. But these are more functional. We are in an atmospheric river. My feet are comfortable, dry. Warm. And I'm not slipping.

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Right or wrong, here are my "work boots". Comfortable, solid traction, and in the rain. These boots do everything I need. It's what I turn to when I don't want to mess up my "nice" boots. Issued uniform boots. I oil them. I add a coat of polish to help water bead off. We are issued...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    We all have a different idea when it comes to work boots, and what "work boots" should be. At work, I get issued boots. Nothing like a service boot, or a PNW firefighter boot. Just uniform boots. We're expected to work in them. They are comfortable. They don't slip. The rain stays out...

    Jim Green Boots

    There's nothing wrong with the Numzaan I have now. They've held up well. Which is to be expected, since I have enough shoes that I don't wear the same pair every day. I also have shoes which I wear when it rains, so most of my shoes only see good weather. I don't work in "the trades", so no...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    We all have different feet. But we're expected to wear the same shoes. I was just looking at how your boots fit, and how mine fit different.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    I had beef short ribs for the big game. I am still upset about that we had to drink beer with paper straws. At least Mahome didn't get the win. Too bad for Taylor Swift. Today, I tossed the leftovers with peppers and onions .

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    People who own these shoes have strong opinions about them. Mostly positive. On my feet, they both feel good. I'm a little disappointed that Red Wing never has a sale or coupon for their Heritage line boots. $349 for Iron Rangers is quite a bit to pay. Wolverine seems to have sales and...

    Jim Green Boots

    They say that there's a sucker born every minute. I'm one of those suckers. I just bought another pair of Jim Green boots. Just couldn't resist the sale price. $149. That's $100 off.
