People who know me well will know that I have worn this type of boot for 15 years or more. They are robust. They are easy to take off if you are on site nipping in and out of caravans. Lace up shoes are ridiculous In such circumstances. You'd spend a good chunk of your day taking them off and putting them back on. The steel toe cap is solid protection if you are in the workshop and are handling heavy boards of timber. The heel loop has to be strong, leather in this case. I've had a number of makes that are priced anywhere from £30 to £100 and often the cheaper ones are better. I buy one pair a year and they hold out water for that long. Once they've let in water once they're done. It will happen again. Yet today a good friend gave me a pair of trainers. Native Americans have the philosophy that if you are to understand a man you must walk in his shoes for a month. So I'm going to where trainers for a month to understand the minds of the people in our society who wear t trainers or runners if you're reading this in Ireland. Trainer wearers are many. The design is much like toothbrush designs. In books no one looks down on you. In bright white trainers even the most polite people take a glance. It's only a month and it's for a good cause.
