the 100% directionless thread

need new work boots for around the house. I've been pretty loyal to chippewa's in the past 10 or so years, anybody have anything they feel is better? **I will not wear timberlands**

Timbo's are where it's at...if you're a 90's hip-hop artist.*

*I totally have a pair of Timberland's in my closet. I'm a product of the 80's and 90's what can I say? I love my Chippewa's, they're in my closet as well. I had them resoled a few years back, I just wear them all that often because I can't get past the comfort and convenience of my Redback slip-ons.

Anything similar to this boot? http://www.taverngallery.co.uk/chip...d-mens-work-boots-golden-tan-nubuc-p-517.html

Edit: @VentMonkey I hate the New york timbs vibe. I hate timberland as a company, i also judge a persons work boots based on wear. not fashion.. I've been getting the timbs in the picture above for the past 10 years and love them. I usually wear my black "tacticool" boots, because they're rather comfortable, or nike running shoes. However, snow dictates "i need work boots" because i need to snow-throw(i went full tim allen with my snow thrower)/shovel. I move snow at up to 30 tons per hour... because that fact matters

Get a real pair of work boots. Whites boots or Nicks boots.

I have a pair of Wolverines that I have worn A LOT for the last 4 years or so. Great boot and it has held up well. I don't anymore due to work and stuff, but I wore it daily for a long time and it still gets a lot of use.

You didn't think I wouldn't take full advantage did you? No time like the present for a thread derail of the directionless kind...

I have a pair of Sorel winter boots that are 100% awesome. I lived in Detroit for a few years. Necessary for piloting the snowblower.

Otherwise, I wear my extra pair of 5.11 boots.

Is there a "personal life work boot section"?? Nothing to do with Leo, just dislike the workboots as a fashion statement kinda thing

You need to run more calls as a paramedic before you're ready, they say.

You need to work less or you'll burn out, they also say.

I am not sure what to do. But I am pretty sick of running every call every day under the auspices of "training" and getting zero feedback.

 

[VentMonkey]

@Tigger are you still in training as a paramedic for one of your gigs? I know I sure felt this way through my flight paramedic training.

Why would I NOT want you to derail?

Damn Californians always griping about weather related issues. "It's too cold...it's too hot...there's not enough rain...there's too much rain..."

We are a fickle bunch.

In all of them. AMR at least has FIs who go through a program and have to document every shift. But where I work primarily, it's just "run all of the calls until we think you're good."

I think that mine fit my style very nicely. Honestly, I wear my boots pretty much exclusively, unless I need specialty shoes for running or something (and if I don't have my running shoes with me, I'll run in my boots). They're very comfortable, they protect my feet/ankles, and black goes with everything. Rock what you like, I say.

Danner boots. The made in America boots, not the made in China.

I haaaaaaaate Danners. They look like **** after like 2 weeks.

Look at some Whites or Wescos

I forgot about Wescos. I absolutely love my Whites, however my next pair (backup) will either be Nicks or Wescos.
