Cowboy boots

[SARGE67]

You guys are very fortunate. I used to wear boots but the neuropathy and spinal stenosis messing with nerves in feet have me just appreciating a large pair of houseshoes with cushioned inserts.

In late grade school and high school, I got a new pair of Tony Lamas every year when school started..
They usually lasted till late spring or early summer of the following year.
Less than a hundred dollars back then. But I wore them out before I outgrew them.
Life on the farm/ranch meant working on your feet all day.
I'd love a new pair like those today. Probably last the rest of my life at my current pace.

For my first construction job in high school one summer I had to have steel toe boots. I only wore them a summer. But my dad wore them around the farm for years.

I hated how heavy they were and went back to my Tony Lama’s after that job ended. They looked like hell, but I had them re-soled. My mother in law threw them away during my first year of marriage. I’m still pissed 40 years later.

When I went to work at General Electric in 1994, I had to wear steel toes. They were a necessary requirement until I quit working in 2019. It didn't take long to appreciate the quality of a well made boot.

My Red Wings were well made. I just hated the extra weight. My job required a lot of movement.

I can't believe you can afford boots and ammo at the same time. I have not had new boots since 2016.

My most comfortable boots to work in were Red Wing. On feet all day and climbing poles, were perfect. Give 'em some saddle soap a few times a week could where anywhere.

Boots are harder to make than ammo.

Well, at least for me. My leather working skills SUCK

These Durangos are proving not bad for daily footwear.
