Me tooThanks. They were advertising a special on hobo gloves of the same variant for today only, and I am a sucker for "fingerless" gloves

The only area in which I treat myself is shoes. Even though I rarely wear them, R3000 Saloman is great. I tend to go on challenging hikes, so they normally last a year or so.I have a pair of Hi-Tec boots that sit outside the back door for walking, I bought them from the co-op once when I went on holiday and forgot to pack a pair of shoes. Other than that I usually buy my shoes from Ground Cover in Curries Post.
Had to start wearing safety shoes at my first yob, they were unbearably uncomfortable. Then after a time normal shoes started feeling uncomfortable. So just found safety shoes to wear from then on, they even last longerI own a pair. Black.
I usually only replace my shoes once they have holey soles or they are coming open where the upper part of the shoes meets the base.I usually wear my shoes for way too long. Not top of my list of things I care about, as long as they're comfortable.
A few years ago I put out a couple of pairs of boots next to the garbage (if something was still useful, I’d leave it next to the garbage bin, and the labourers on the farm would usually take it). When I came home I noticed that while the boots were still there, someone had carefully removed the laces and taken those. I realised that the boots were actually a lot worse than I thought they were, but that’s my style with all clothes. I wear my favourite until it’s falling apart, and leave the rest of the perfectly wearable stuff in the cupboard.I usually wear my shoes for way too long.

I used to wear Jim Green boots for hiking. Haven’t hiked in a while though, but I’ve been considering a pair of them again, they’re comfortable for general walking, and are nice and warm in winter, with the benefit of being waterproof which is great for mud, and if you happen to find yourself in snow.The only area in which I treat myself is shoes.

I treat my wife to far more expensive shoes, but then, those shoes are not really meant for walking...
I was made to buy them. I very seldom wear them.I have not had the need to wear formal shoes in ages, I wanted to get a new pair only to think I will never wear them
Are these the ones with the silicon anti-slip soles?Most of the year I am barefoot at home - but wear slippers or heat holder socks with antislip marks underneath.

2 of my sisters have few pairs. I don't know if I like them. I'll have to try them out I guess.Yes they are
Huh? How do you get it off without untying the laces?One thing many of us don't do which can increase the lifespan of footwear by a bit is actually untying your lace when you remove it. Many people just take it off in a rush and this significantly increase strain and wear and tear.

Something in me doesn't like the silicon sole. It feels like dirt is going to get stuck inside.2 of my sisters have few pairs. I don't know if I like them. I'll have to try them out I guess.
