Now that's a complete selection .protection , style and ....well that pretty much sums up everything. Did I mention their hot, heavy, won't bend and weigh in at thirteen pounds a pair... nuff said.... but they work well for me.I Havant had a foot injury in eons. Rattlesnakes cannot bite through them. I have proven it.I don't run so I don't care about the weight...and them kids with funny haircuts and earrings all in their head allways come up wanting to know where you get them. That's great about modern times...even us ugly people can be popular

Kid wants to know where to get a pair, lol.

Here is a good reason not to wear Crocs while gathering eggs from the coop. Chicken poop is liquid upon exit and runs easily through the holes on the top of your shoe and feels really nasty between your toes. That's what I get for nudging a hen out of my way today.

EBay is the only place I know of. They are old from the 60s and 70s.

I probably wouldn't wear those but they look bad ass. They look like they came out of a Mad Max movie. I would get in such trouble wearing those boots... I would be kicking down doors and daring rabid dogs to attack. They have the look... "I just want to kick some ass. I don't care who it is"

 

[bill harrell]

Dang what size you wear.. I could finance a mission for the price of boots and a plane ticket to Iran

Hmmmm.... maybe I need a pair of those. Just what do I look for on ebay Bill?

 

[Chicknladee]

I definitely need to invest in a better pair of hiking boots...mine are old and somewhat worn...my croc flipflops won't protect from much and my biker boots are really only good for riding.

Hi-point boots is all I know them as. They were made by alpinestar. What size does she wear. I'll call some friends.

MAD MAX !!

 

[Mike Quinn]

was pricing them crocs, they aint cheap for the real deal , imitations are far cheaper ,but wont last as long

 

[Chicknladee]

that would be correct...plus imitations aren't as comfy!

 

[bill harrell]

I don't want imitation nothing. But doc martins are comfortable.

im wearing wolverine work boots right now..only thing is,they aint water proof now.i think i've had um for almost 2 years now..i bought some kiwi heavy duty water repellent the other day to spray on um.but that part aint done yet.

 

[bill harrell]

I hear that if you pee in your boots all the time they become either water repellant or was it that you don't care if they leak??????

 

[Chicknladee]

I have wolverine hikers...picked them up from Sportsman's Guide a few years ago...we are within driving distance of their MN warehouse (60-70miles) so can go to their outlet area...good deal! I like them but they need replacing soon.

 

[bill harrell]

Is that sportsmans guide cool or what... they used to send me catalogues but I don't get them anymore

 

[Chicknladee]

good thing they are 60-70 miles from home or we'd be there more often...but they are awesome folks there and have some awesome stuff...just beware the ammo...sometimes they are well priced and sometimes they are HIGH...depends on when they bought their stock

 

[old_anorak]

She wears a size 11-12 women's so that would be a 10 in men's I think? Thank you very much Bill.

Imitation Crocs get compacted and hard and hurt after just a short time of wearing. The only off brand I've found that have been just as nice are called Holey Soles and I'm not even sure they are still in business.

 

[Haloray]

I have some swimming type shoes that are foot shaped and my gym shoes (Nike). I really need more hiking styled shoes but this is all I got atm.

 

[jimLE]

Yes sir, best I have owned but there is a lot out there, my i suggest to go to a local camping store and try on every boot they have till something fits. Oh and sock combo I wear a thin liner with a thicker wool blend. NO BLISTERS

What kind of footwear do you have for a bugout situation? I bought some tennis shoes not long ago that worked good in the store but when I walked down my dirt road they weren't comfortable. I hate shoe shopping so I was just wondering what other people are buying.

hello... there are a few things you need to keep in mind when referring to footwear especiallyin time of bugout and depending on type of disaster. The main things you need to keep in mind is somthing that would be waterproff, lightweight, easy to slip on or off, a shoe with thick padding (for comfort and durabilty of support) a A shoe that has good cletes (perferably rubber) for good tractiona dn for a more silent based movemt) I also suggest you bring a light pair of waterproof rubber boots (main thing you have to keep in mind when out of shelter is to keep feet dry and warm
