I used to wear old athletic shoes....but extremely bad ankles regulate me to only something with 6" height....can't wear a lowtop of any type....barefoot...birks....nope...no mas. Danner Pronghorns make my feet happy....so they get worked in...Danner workboots no bueno either.
edited: exactly 5 years ago, this time of year, I dropped a big azz qtr of red oak on the toe of my athletic shoe...I wish like hell I had started wearing boots a bit earlier....broke my big toe behind the nail
