Some of you may remember way back in the day, I posted my boot fetish.
I love boots, I wear sneakers when I wear shorts, but otherwise it's boots all the way. I have all kinds! Some I got rid of once I moved though.
For the most part, I've been wearing these Altama desert boots for the past 3 years, and they've held up really well. They're still good. Problem was, they weren't steel toe and I've dropped a few heavy things on my feet since then. I do have an old pair of black jungle boots with steal toe, but they always fit too big.
I just bought these Converse boots. That's right, Converse makes military grade boots. They're a little unconventional but they're more padded than my old boots, and they have that slick side zipper so I don't have to lace and unlace constantly. They got what's called a "composite toe". It's not metal, and in fact no part of the boots are metal, so I wouldn't set off security gates and more important for me they don't conduct electricity. Not to mention the cool sage green color.
I can't wait to wear them to work!
And drop something on my feet!
While drilling something with my new drill!
And cutting something with my new lineman's pliers!
