Are you wearing the same hoots though?
You should join systems. My boots last a couple years.
Any recommendations for no-kill dog shelters in the area?
Pinky will continue to travel to Florida every year though and pay homage to The Mouse. That won't change.
First couple pairs were different models of the Hytest, the right foot boot just kinda separated at the sole to the point they looked like a muppet. Then I had the Carolina's with the external met guard, which I ended up stepping in a puddle of grease in the basement up past the top and they got flooded. I tried to wash them out with that crazy blue soap we have but that just turned them into a rock. They might have actually lasted this whole time otherwise. Next were some Timberland Pros which were outrageously uncomfortable and ended up falling apart quicker than the Hytest, which I was happy about, and now these Michelins, which are really comfortable but the strip eats them up on quality check rollouts. I'd love to join any job on the maintenance side but I'd have to pass the damn tests first.
Well here comes the rapture.
I kinda cleaned "my half" of the garage, but it needs more work. My truck sits out year round, but in the winter, "my half" houses the JD lawn tractor with the plow, my Allis Chalmers B and my son's project "race tractor"...and not much else.
Yeah if they still have the Michelins when I get a voucher, I'll probably get them again. Otherwise I'll try a brand I haven't tried yet.yes, you have to pass a test.
Next time you get boots you like, that last, remember what they are. No guarantees they'll have it, or be the same quality, but it's a start.
I've been using these inserts in my boots. I was having some arch problems causing sharp shooting pains.
This seems to have worked.
Step on a machine, follow the instructions, and it tells you which "custom" number to buy.
Not sure if you're talking to me or just in general. Comfort has only been an issue with one of the pairs of boots I had(the Timb Pros) and they were trash in just about every way you can imagine anyway. The issue with the Carolinas was the outer sole, they are practically flat with no tread and just a little bit of texture, so there was almost no grip on the slick floors around here.

The foot chair are better.
I started off with doctor scholl's and eventually moved to custom cookies for my shoes and am now using the above.
The gells were ok but dont last. The customs are great but only last about 1 to 2 years for me. At the price of the customs the ones above are a tad bit less and work great. I replace them every 6 months when I get new shoes. It saves above $20 vs the custom but works better for me.

I figured you's just step on a LEGOS and be cured for free.
