With my Robin Williams legs, I can't stand wearing boot socks, and therefore, boots, so I use a tactical shoe from Under Armour. Much more comfortable, and I don't feel like someone is smashing the hair on my legs all day.

Rocky dry strike. They feel like sneakers

i'll chekem out

They have this boot for $258 on sale from $430 !!!

Scheels may have them to try on

Crispi Shemeks arrived today. I believe it's their lightest and most flexible boot. Way more than I've ever spent on boots but first impressions are good. Feel way more substantial than my Danners and are very comfortable for sure.

'Good lookin' boots.

Is buying high dollar boots like comparing prices of your man purse?

What an odd statement. When's the last time you've seen a neurologist? Have you ever seen a neurologist?

No. I have progressively worse foot and back pain when I'm on my feet a lot, so hoping better boots will help.

You would think a Great Depression baby would relish in quality rebuildable footwear instead of throw a Chinese crap

I run these for work and play along with a few other styles in the brand.

Maybe to some. Either way, tell us about your purse.

You all sound like a bunch of old women bragging about how much they spent on a pair of shoes. Next you will be asking if a Botox face lift will make you look better in your sissy boots.

I've got better things to argue about than boots. Thanks to the guys who gave input.

Aransas Pass Ropers for me. Wal-Mart or Academy.

Skinner, think I saw Ed Harris wear a pair just like that playing an Aransas Pass shrimper in 1985's, Alamo Bay. Dat Nyguen had a cameo in it as a 9 yo Vietnamese son of a shrimper. Interesting flick around the late mid to late 70s TX gulf coast tensions between Texan shrimpers and Vietnamese immigrant shrimpers.

Ha ha! I'm from Aransas Pass (the Shrimp Capital of Texas - was) and those tensions were VERY real, got stories...... I'm old enough to remember when the shrimping industry was booming here and Conn Brown Harbor was jam packed with shrimp boats and businesses. Now there's nothing there. Anyway, grew up wearing rubber boots too and they were always called Aransas Pass Ropers.

Right, think you recall I'm an old Southside CC boy. Partook in a few AP Shrimparee Fests back in the day when they were still something decent, late 70s, early 80s. Did several Bayfests and even a few Buc Days, lol....Can still taste the tough turkey legs today....

Tell us about your adventures at the Corn Patch.

I’m all about comfort, so I usually go for something like New Balance cross trainers.

yep, I have been wearing (running) New Balance 857 for years but the last time I got ready to order, they were not available in my size. I opted for a less expensive version (don't recall the number) leather cross trainer but by the end of the day my feet are tired and achy. I'll keep a watch for 857s though. I just hope they didn't discontinue those.
