    I think arch support is part of it... the higher the heel usually is more arch support in my experience. Usually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I read or watched a vid that said texon is used in a lot of goodyear welted shoes because it works well when resoling (won’t break down or crack like leather might) — besides adding rigidity to a shoe that needs stability. The durability of it and use for adding rigidity makes me question...

    So, JR, does the texon break in and conform to the foot like a mold, or does it just get more bendy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So the Chippewa engineer came in from Schott’s. Fit is pretty good, and I’ve oiled up the leather (a lot, they just sucked up the conditioner!) A question: do any of you have experience with this Texon footbed? Texon is properly a midsole, not an insole, which is to say the chipper doesn’t have...

    Originally ordered the Chippewa “Pierce” for $220 from Shoeline, but just found the “Whirlwind” on sale for $160 at Schottnyc, so I cancelled the shoeline order (slow handling time at shoeline!) I wonder what the difference is between the pierce and whirlwind models?? They look exactly the...

    Finally sprang for some Chippewas. The 11” Pierce with contrast welt. Figured I should give them a try first before the White’s, since they are half the price... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Social Media for those of a certain age?

    I use Facebook to post pictures of my little girl for family and friends. Other than that it’s not much use. Frankly it’s mostly reposted memes and political rants, which greatly annoys me... doesn’t anyone have an original thought to contribute? Show me a picture of you and your day; don’t...

    Last Supper. A new movie streaming on Amazon Prime. A hitman tries to talk another hitman, over supper, out of killing him. The ending took me a bit by surprise. No spoilers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Anyone ever heard of Isubella boots? Stumbled onto them yesterday. Very inexpensive but good looking boots. I wonder what kind of quality they could be at $80. https://www.isubella.com/products/ctmx40603 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jack, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down next to this blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV as the 10:00 news came on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Jack and said, "Do...

    Will some of you comment on the waterproofing or lack thereof on some of the makes? I assume for instance that the White’s are leaky but could be wrong... don’t know about Wesco, Wolverines, Chippewa, Frye, or the more expensive boutique (pronounced Boot-EEK! cuz you say EEK! when you see the...
