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.
I HATED wasting my time spit shining boots. HATED it. Lil’ hole in the wall place right outside Ft. Benning would shine them like glass for $6/pair. Money well spent.
