Also used to wear zippered ankle boots. For when RK be pimping.

And a pair of brown leather Wellies for cold/wet weather.

What I've got. They're comfortable and as durable as anything I've worn (not that this means much, given that my feet are, as I've said before, where footwear goes to die). Laces are a bit of a pain, but the pair I used to have with a convenient zipper (as well as laces, and a velcro strap to cover the zipper's grip) was far too thoroughly insulated for anything but outdoor winter wear. These breathe much more nicely. Either way, though, I like the aesthetics of a laced-up boot, so I'll probably stick with them for day-to-day wear.

We should now call this the "Things that make you shoe today" thread

It may be an extensive derail, but considering I have a pair of Loafers for working, a pair of loafers for day-to-day walking, and a pair of dress-loafers, I think that I am justified in TRYING to convert these booted heathens to the one true shoe.

@Bauglir: I don't need my boots to breathe. Last time I checked, my lungs connected to my face instead of my toes. 

yes, yes, I know what is meant by a shoe/boot "breathing"...I just don't see a need for it. I prefer that my foot/ankle/calf be encased in as damn near a suit of leathery armor as I can find. Ditto why I wear a full-length leather coat from about October to May.

I'm a loafers man myself, at least when the weather is to cold for sandals. Not all that practical for trucking, but fuq da police I wear what I want.

My feet just sweat relentlessly. If I'm walking a lot, and I often am, all that moisture leads to some pretty nasty abrasions that no amount of thickened skin seems to prevent, and socks soft enough to avoid it wear holes clear through after two uses, tops. Were it not for that, I'd prefer a more solid material, yeah.

So get some comfortable black or brown fuax leather loafers.
You won't regret it, and it will make shoe-shopping fun as long as there are loafers at the store.
Or at least 80% less meh.

Sorry, dude, I'm in the boot camp. I really miss my Savate ring boots.

[LordSlowpoke]

fffffuck shoes

i've been living for many years and nothing has proven comfortable

okay it has, why would i buy it otherwise

but give it a week it somehow turns into the same run of the mill shit that bites into my toes or what will you

i'd wear sandals but i value my environmental protection thanks

let's just levitate instead

[Orange Wizard]

I agree with LSP. Levitation is the best form of transportation.

I either wear bare feet, steel toe boots, or winter boots.
