Austin, you are quickly becoming a pain in the ass.

Dave.

You're probably sitting wrong,If you hurts. He will correct you,in your ways!

 

[watdaflock?]

No, I agree with him about you. You continued to harp and harp and harp and repost the same thing over and over and over again. Seriously, you're being really obnoxious. Post your opinion and a link to your beloved sports site once and let people do what they will with the information you provide.

All good. I'm a troll and admit it. I like being a smart ass.

Work boots are evil. Light weight is good as long as it properly supports the foot.

Hell with them. I want all of those people to get injured or at least broke down enough to eventually retire/quit.

Now why would you wish injury on anyone, or someone breaking down? I wouldn't wish that on an enemy.

I see a lot of half truths in this thread. Weight of your boot does affect your legs being tired. As well as other factors, such as fit and socks for example. Socks that are required with the shorts are crappy to say the least. And yes wet socks do help initiate blisters. It isn't just fit. Don't believe me do a Google search on "do sock liners prevent blisters". Things such as lack of water, sodium, and potassium amongst other things also contribute to your legs being tired.

I may not be an expert, but I'am fairly knowledgeable when it comes to the subject, as I have done a fair amount of extreme backcountry. By extreme, I mean 50 miles in 120 degree shadeless heat for example. And I have pictures to prove it. Weight is a huge factor especially when your carrying 7 liters of water when your able to find it. And no I don't wear any of the boots in the below link when doing these excursions. I have found them to perform well at work however.

Saw Eccos were mentioned. Great shoe/boot. I found the soles to be a little soft and not last too long at $250 a pop. Still wear them when there is some shallow snow and need a waterproof boot. Rocky sells a low ankle waterproof boot that I picked up, but haven't tried as of yet.

Back on topic. Here is a link to some good boots that fit the uniform requirements.

And here is a link to some high quality socks.

Some may already know this, some may not. If your boots are Gore-Tex, do not polish them. It will plug the pores and will ruin the Gore-Tex.

I use this as a cleaner for my boots and scrub with a brush. Yeah, the 4 reviews are low, but it is just a cleaner. Not sure what the deal is. It has always cleaned the dirt and debris off the outside of my boots.

I then top them with this product. And it won't screw up your Gore-Tex.

Some may be interested in these boots in this link as well. Haven't bought this brand for a while, as I prefer the Rocky boots.

Hope this helps someone.

The 608's are the only sneaker approved by the company for wear with the uniform.

Link?

I tried to find the link on upsers when I made that post but was unable to. I do remember a poster on our safety bulletin board stating the above.

Oh aight, I'll try to find that too. Word of mouth don't mean at my center but if I can find a certified document stating this I can shut my management up when I come in with a pair. They're strict at my center.

Did you read the link?



What causes friction? The shoe moving around because of improper fit and rubbing against your skin.

Keen shoes are excellent and so are Ecco. Ive been liking the Dunham by new balance also. The propet shoes are really comfy also.

I just passed my road test today and was wondering what brand everyone here prefers. I'm looking for something comfortable but not too military-like.
