Anyone else predominantly a boot wearer? What brands do you like? I used to buy Merrell hiking boots for years, but ended up with a pair of Danners that are now my go to. I'm currently looking at their work boots and hunting boots and wondering if anyone has experience with them.

Except for Army boots, I have always had an issue with boots that I've bought. Dr. thinks it was the glue under the cushion that would cause me bad infections on my feet. However, every job I've had required steel toed boots. One day I went to Walmart and bought a pair and had no issues. Not sure of the brand of the boot but I think it has a wolf on the top of the tongue. Anyways, they were very comfortable and by far my favorite boot ever.

I still have my Corcoran II's with the hiking sole from 30+ years ago. Have never been able to throw them out. No, I was not a paratrooper, but you could spit shine one hellova shine on those things. Well, until I learned the miracle of a light coat of mop & Glo. Mirror finish every time. Just had to strip them once in awhile or they would have a blue tint and start to crack.
