Casual and Boots

[J.B. Simpson]

Doesn't anybody wear sandals? I like bare feet and Birkenstocks with a casual kilt. Feels great.

Cheers,
Rick

I live on a farm (cows and horses), and sandals don't offer protection from the "squishy toe" syndrome as well as boots.:crap:

Besides my feet are so mashed and mutilated they would scare many women and small children.

Here is their website in case you want to delve further into what they have to offer. http://www.whitesoutdoor.com/

Unfortunately mine don't look that nice anymore, too much firewalking and running over scorched earth (coupled with life on the farm).

I am VERY impressed by those boots. They have a traditional look to them that simply blows my mind ! Thank you for the link.

I'm thinking about getting a pair of these:



I currently wear these, also from Frye. They're fantastic and very comfortable:

Not a problem. They are tough as nails and will definetely take abuse. White's are the sworn boot of many in the Wilderness Fire crews. These one's in particular, hence the name "Smoke Jumper".

I have a pair of these I wear with Camo and solid color causuals.
They are called Snake Proof Boots by Rocky (Not Rocky USA Kilts if your about to ask).
They stand about 15 inches tall and are very comfortable.
Great for hiking the trails in winter or summer.

I highly recommend boots by Danner (www.danner.com).

The pair I wear occasionally with my kilt I purchased while a Marine in 1990. I replaced the laces once and had a new set of Vibram soles put on. With proper care (of the boots, not me) I expect to be buried in them.

I bought my Danners in '90 also, but they were sent to my mom's. I was "over there."
My Go Devil's are my hard winter boots.

The Danner's are great, and I have the advantage of living near thier factory outlet. Still trying to wear out my first pair. Its been a nine year effort and I am still not there, though I did buy a second pair for when I want "casual pretty". Firts pair is looking a bit knocked about, but both are extremely comfortable.

I'm not much of a Doc Martens fan, I prefer my underground boots when I'm going casual. But I am thinking about getting a pair of M90 standard issue army boots for fieldwork and hiking since they are very warm and nice, to bad I'm not allowed to wear kilts during excavations though (safety thing) ;)

I was thinking about a pair of those too. Luckily there are many Army surplus stores is this area.
