    I have a pair of Gripfasts boots that I just love... and they work well for that industrial/punk look!

    Now, combat boots w/ the sneaker feel...and you love Chucks!!!
    try these!!!

    I love my blunstone as well. They are light weight, comfortable and can be worn with anything.

    I'll put in my vote for the British Ammo Boots. I have a pair in brown that I love.

    If you are looking for a little more cost effective option, might I suggest something from HiTec's Magnum line of boots. They are mainly service boots so the soles are not quite as aggressive looking, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your perspective, but they are very durable, comfortable, and tend to be a much better value than many of the big name companies. I've been hooked on HiTec shoes since the early '80s and have never been disappointed with any of my purchases.

    I have a pair of these that I have had for almost 15 years and are still in good shape, I just give them a polish once in a while. They have served me well.

    As side from Blunstone, I also wear New Rock Boots as well. If you are into Motorcycle, check out the Harley Davidson riding boots as well.

    Sorry I guess I wasn't clear. My point was that Ammo boots that hadn't been double or treble soled broke in fine and were no problem for daily wear. I have had three pairs that I used that were quite comfortable. Also the reproductions are not as stiff as the originals.

    with you now, a fair point, ditching the segs make them more practical too
