I don't know why I thought of this. I have worn boots for about 30 years.

 

I don't even own a pair of shoes.. I have sandals, sneakers and BOOTS..

I have a pair of Red Wing work boots that I wear on weekends. I'm always working on rental properties and they keep me from ruining all my other shoes!

 

Do "combat boots" count?

what do u consider boots? I wear steel toed safety boots at work every night, otherwise hunting boots during hunting season is the only other time I wear boots.

 

my "dress" shoes for work are mid cut ecco's. (which I would call boots cuz I cant wear them with shorts)

On the weekend I rotate between my Cowboy boots (J. Diamond, division of Justin) and my terra lights for dirty jobs...want a 8" cut pair of goretex boots but $ is to tight atm.

I only wear running shoes if I am going to play some sort of sport, etc;

I wear boots year round when working around the yards and also fishing and hunting. I will wear sneakers on the boat and around town. I have to wear dress shoes at work otherwise I probably wouldnt own any.

 

...Yep, Carolina engineers every day
Tony lamas goat skin for steppin out...

 

Well,

Fire boots when at drill or on call (volunteer)
Work boots for when I work on the truck, go camping, or other projects
Most of the time otherwise it's my regular work shoes (goes with the suit, etc), sandals (summertime), or regular shoes (not sneakers - wintertime).

 

used to wear boots all the time... now I wear either Justin or Woverine durashock ankle high "dress" boots. They are kinda like hiking boots, but look much better with dockers. wear em every day...gave the dress shoes the boot

when I'm just out to play, I put on the Nike's

 

yup wear my woverines most of all got about 9yrs on 1 pair and like they stated them inside soul cushions will not break down

 

they were the most comfortable boots I have ever worn!!! back 8 years ago or so I worked in a lumber yard day in and out walking on concrete.....those things even at the end of the day were so comfortable. I never wanted to take them off! I went thru 3 pair in 3 years...the inside never wore out..come to think of it the leather didn't either....the sole couldn't stand up to all that walking around the yard...I put holes in the bottom of them!

 

In the summer I wear sneakers or sandals. The rest of the year I wear cowboy boots or dress boots 99% of the time. My husband wears his boots about 75% of the time. My little one wears his boots 95% of the time...even in the summer.

 

My boots are Timberland
My sneakers are Nike
My casual dress shoes are Kenneth Cole
My formal dress shoes are Allan Edmonds
And some flip-flops lying around

If I had to give up all the +- dozen shoes I own and keep only one pair, it would have to be the Timberlands. I've had them for at least 6 years, and love them. Keep my dry in rain/snow. Keeps my feet cool even in summer. Put up with all the abuse they get when I play construction foreman, go hunting, and any of the myriad of activities I engage in. All I do is throw in a new pair of Dr. Schols when I feel the old ones wearing down. That and I finally had to get new laces recently. I'll keep these boots as long as I can -- took me 5 years to break them in the way I like. I own other boots too, but none get the use my favorite Timberlands do.

I bought some boots on sale when Ames near my vacation house was closing & clearanced everything (only had sneakers with me, and needed something right away for the weekend). By the time I waterproofed them & added insoles, I spent more than what "cheap" boots should cost. They still can't compare with the Timberlands.

 

i am surprised no one has said anything about Doc Martens, have had the same pair for about 4 yrs now, they have been all over the world with me through mud rain water asphalt, etc. great pair of boots, fianlly got em wore in.
