    This is what they looked like out of the box.

    Chukka Boots

    I don't know what they were like 30 years ago. These are from 1 year ago. I got them for about $20. It's a good shoe, for the price that I paid. I haven't worn them much. Nothing wrong with them. It's just that in my daily life, with all of the other shoes that I own; I don't find myself...

    Experimenting on foods.

    Panda Express. Asian stir fry. It could be a combination of any food. Just toss it in a wok. Ginger, green onions, carrot, and bitter melon. Served with short rib meat.

    Chukka Boots

    I wash dishes at Panda Express. From day one, I dreamed of getting a promotion. The service line, where I can scoop food into take-out boxes. That opens the doors to making deliveries, and catering. Sometimes a visiting dignitary orders. There's a rumor that The Queen once called for 10...

    Chelsea Boots?

    Bloodstone is a good shoe. Comfortable. Durable enough that they don't disintegrate when you wear them. Not every shoe is meant to be resoled 2 or 3 times. Or even resoled once. The important thing is that you get to wear them in comfort, and they do whatever you are doing. Not everyone...

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    When I first started, they told me not to wear anything nice to work. What I remember about working in a bar was that things splashed and spilled. Drinks spilled. The ice machine leaks. Someone knocks over a pitcher of beer or a carafe of wine. Plumbing backed up behind the bar. The...

    Chelsea Boots?

    These were from a happier time in my life. Long before I knew about Goodyear welts, stitchdown construction, leather grades, Puritan stitches, etc. When I just saw shoes at a store (on sale, of course), tried them on, and bought them if they felt comfortable. Decades old, from when they were...

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    A homeowner does light maintenance around the house. Yard work, but not a landscaper by trade. Install appliances as needed, hook up gas and water lines, and repair those appliances when the time comes. Simple things like valves and actuators in a washing machine, the ignition in an oven, or...

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    They feel good. Comfortable. I would recommend this boot.

    What's cooking?

    Cook the noodles to al dente. Do not use the seasoning packet. Use a spicy soup base. Top with egg.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    You can find Goodyear welted footwear for under $200. This is acceptable quality. A single piece vamp. One piece of leather wraps around your whole foot. Not a bunch of small pieces glued and stitched together. No chance of glue delamination, or stitches bursting open. Full leather lining...

    Shoe Care / Shoe Shine

    That most wonderful time of the year. The holiday party season is upon us. Some of us low class peasants will be called upon to serve the upper crust and royalty. Knowing that in the months ahead, my shoes will be stepping in spilled drinks, vomit, urine, blood...... now was the time to oil...

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Those aren't just any model of boot sold by a Pacific Northwest boot company. Wildland Firefighting is a unique niche. Like logging, and linemen. They have specialty boots, unique to their trade. A lineman climbing a utility pole needs to have lineman boots. Even motor officers wear Pacific...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Some public safety agencies do not allow their patrol division to wear safety toes. Liability. It's an unauthorized weapon if you kick someone.

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Construction job sites. Factories and manufacturing plants. Utility towers and poles. Roofers. Correctional facilities. Plumbers. Sewage plants. Building trades. Trenches. Fire stations. I've never seen a worker wearing $1,000 boots. Some workers have boots provided by the...
