    Men's Destin Low (Steel Toe)

    Keen steel toe shoe

    Boots annoy me, so Ive always tried to find good steel toe shoes. These are the most comfortable ones ive found, and I love the style. Only issue is the grip on the bottom of the shoe wears out faster than others ive used.

    You ever check out the Worx brand of shoes. Full safety toe- made by red wing. Wears like a sneaker. I’ve had a few pairs. Worth looking into

    Are you guys getting gold soles? 90-100 for new soles? I paid $36.00 for my last resole on a pair of Georgia boots. I got the harder vibram soles because I do a lot of twisting, climbing, walking through acids and caustic soaps. And manure! I tore the original Georgia soles to nothing in a matter of months. The vibram soles still look like new after 3 months.

    But 100 bucks? Might as well buy a new pair.

    The coat is easy. An Extreme Wear coat by Carhartt. Best winter gauntlet I ever wore. You can get the overalls too.
    Boots....
    Mostly, I wear Sorel slippers. Summer is Five Fingers.
    There is always a need for boots. I have 3pair. Irish Setters. Cabelas Whitetails...very very good winter boot that also keeps your feet dry. I also have a pair of PAC boots. To be honest. I haven’t needed them yet. Or I’m not dumb enough to stand around in extreme cold.

    They are only legal in NY. The Amish in PA shoot us on site for those kinds of boots.
