then there are the White boots. ;-)

Just looking , seems that the White brand is not what it used to be. I've only worn the logger, un-caulked! ;-)

Once you get used to a heel, it's hard to go back.

I have worn White’s boots for forestry work for 40+ years. The smoke jumper loggers are still handmade to fit individual feet and just as good as they used to be. They are the gold standard for fit and durability. I can wear them all day in rough country and never have sore feet. But, they are VERY expensive.

Lightweight, excellent traction, all day comfortable, warm, durable.

I generally prefer Ariat. Recently got a pair of Sureway 6" laceups and I like the way they fit and about $50 cheaper.
This time of year, I'll often wear my Skechers composite toe sneakers

I've been thinking about a pair of White's but it won't be the logger style. The heels give me shin splints in short order.

Feet are different! Have you ever had to spend four ten hour days in ridged SKI BOOTS! I do that every winter. I also visit a favored boot fitter from time to time.

I have custom insoles (i.e. molded to my feet. And use "Super feet" in every work boot I wear.

My present "go to" around the shop and yard boot is a just above the ankle Timberland. Not a pricey boot.

Yup, I spent quite a few winters in ski boots. They didn't bother me though. I was a teenager.

So, I currently run 3 options that I like. Irish Setter pull on square toe, Non steel toe, that's anything that involves leaving the house, work, shopping, dinner, ect. I'm on my 3rd pair, and the consistently last me 18 months, which is the best of any boot I've had. 2nd choice, outside around the house/fishing/playing with dogs, some camo crocs, normally in 2wd. 3rd choice, water proof chore boots, Muck style, but these are Academys Magellen boots. Good for in chicken coop, hunting, mud, ect

I used to have a cheap pair of slip on, shoes, that i liked, wife Hated, and the issue was; i don't just wear socks around all day, so either, to slip these on for a minute, either your getting socks, or you're raw dogging it, and they get funky. Also, if they get wet, they get real funky

When you order your White’s don’t order a standard size. Treat yourself and get their measuring kit. Then you will get custom fit, but the price is still the same.

Tony LLama TLX with composite toes for me. I wear these for everything.

Walmart. $5.07
I wear them regardless of what I'm doing, from mucking a horse stable to attending a funeral.
Proud to be "the world's cheapest man" as I've been called.
