I got a pair of rockports and they seem to work fine for me. Not quite as good a shoe as they were before Rebok bought them out, but still pretty comfy.

I use to wear New Balance, when ever I wasn't wearing my Ariat boots. Luddy has me wearing Asics Kaynos and they are pretty nice!

Luddy isn't as dumb as he looks.

[J. R. Nation]

Smooth soles , no tread. They come in 12 wide ( don't like my shoes to touch my feet)

Probably one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They have a sole that forms to your feet. Good stuff!

Redwing 6" boots. Arch-support insert. Almost two years serviceable life.

Have gone through several pairs.

Problem with leather (Redwings, anyway) is prespray dries it out and it cracks prematurely. Need to keep it well-oiled.

the fella at Bostonian where i bought my 1st pair said they're what most Dr's buy since they're on their feet all day. these are the most durable shoes i've ever owned - i'm hard on my shoes. and they are super comfortable and stay that way...last pair i bought on eBay : http://tinyurl.com/27t54f

thanx --- Derek.

Redwings are nice... Very spendy... which raises a question:

I bought cheep shoes and they wore out in 3 months of cleaning with 70hr weeks. I then spent almost a hundred dollars (a lot for a cheapskate like me) on some new balance cross trainers just to have them wear out in 3 months of 70hr weeks.

If I spring for a really good pair of shoes like the redwings, will I really get more than a year out of them and still have them be presentable?

If I blow $200 on a pair of shoes that only lasts 4 months I think I might have to cry.

Really good shoe.

I have bad feet and I've had dozens of different shoes from big buck to pay-less cheap.
I've found the ones that are best for "my" foot are Avia cross trainers.

I bought a pair years ago and they were one of the most comfortable for me.
So, I went back and bought ALL they had in my size at 3 different Shoe Carnival stores.

I'm on my last pair now and they've discontinued that particular model

So, I search now for another shoe that fits "my" foot well.
When I find one, I'll buy as many of them as I can find


PS, personally, I can't tell if it will be a "good" shoe for my til after I've worn them a day or two.
I've bought some that felt good in the store, but not so good after a day or two in them.
That's why when I find a show that fits me well, I go back and buy more

..L.T.A.

I wear Nike all condition gear. Boots in the winter shoes in the summer normally look for the air max these are made for trail running and most are waterproof. Now MARTY why didn't you just tell us you have bad feet instead of using words that I have to google? lol

I've been wearing moccasin style house shoes for years. I retired my feet after i got out of the Marines.

 

[redbird]

I bought some neopreme shoes. They are waterproof slip on shoes. I wear 2 pairs of socks with them. I like not getting wet feet.

I got the shoes at our local SAM's Club.... Hate to admit it, they were 15 bucks! 3 months so far and still comfortable

 

[steve frasier]

I usually buy a wide cross training type of shoe, Nike or New Balance, and buy the inserts that mold to your foot

the inserts sure help a lot

 

[davegillfishing]

i am going to swing by the redwing store today to check them out and will go from there..

Very comfortable, they have a rounded off toe which is great for when ya gotta get down and spot, no more wearing out the toes. They also last a long time. I have like 5 pairs!
