    My Favorite Shoe Polish on my Favorite Work Boots

    I have to admit that the cheapest work boots can be the most comfortable. The X thought I wore uniform boots off-duty, because i was cheap. That's part of it. I am cheap. Uniform boots are free. But if they hurt my feet, I wouldn't wear them. And they are so shiny.

    Thoughts on these Jimmy Choo boots?

    A lot of these shoes with high price tags are not so well made. You see once they deconstruct the shoe. Lots of glue. No real stitches or nails. I really find fake welts distasteful. Some of the really expensive shoes are not any better than my cheap Timberlands. We're talking about...

    Anyone buy work boots and then wonder whether they like them too much to work in?

    It all depends on who is looking at you, and why they are looking at you. If you were actually working in the trades, you would not have this anxiety. If you're only playing dress up, to cruise other men in costumes........ it sounds too much like Al Pacino in Cruising, as he was learning...

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Who is "us"? If you were asking that question in a union hall - "us" would be a different demographic. Work boots are still made for work. Some work boots are oriented toward certain workers. Logging boots are made for logging. There used to be a boot called a "roofer boot". There are...

    General myths and "urban legends" on product quality

    FedEx has an interesting program of selling their routes. Sort of like a franchise experience. You buy the route, and get paid for each delivery. You hire employees, who are on your payroll. Sometimes you hire only yourself, as the sole employee. You buy the uniforms from FedEx. FedEx will...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    December 13th, is now Depeche Mode Day in Los Angeles. I can't believe that they are still playing music.

    I completely agree. With you. And with the average person. $200 is a lot of money to get poor quality. Of course, it can be argued that the suggested retail price is not what you should pay, and that you could buy these shoes for a lot less when there is a sale. Dr. Martens and Solovair...

    Agreed. NPS Solovair and Dr. Martens are overpriced. And they are constructed with lesser grade parts. Dr. Martens were soft, rubbery soles, with pockets of air, which gave the wearer a soft, cushioned step. There was also the added grip of the rubber sole treads. The soles are heat melted...

    This boot actually looks like it's well built and worth owning. I'm a little stand-offish because of the pricing. On the USA website, the price in US Dollars is 40% higher than South African website price in Rand. On the other hand, handmade in The USA stitchdown boots from The Pacific...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    This song came around, right when people started to realize that The 80's were over. The Quaaludes ran out. Weird, that it's still being performed, and a new generation is singing it.

    Christmas Music

    Not one person in this room is old enough to remember when Slade had a hit song, or even know a Slade song.

    This is the new Chinese food. Turkey Rice. This is what happens to all of those unsold turkeys. They get shipped to The Chinese.

    I just don't know how this could be dangerous. I don't get it.

    Christmas Music

    It's official. Christmas music is dangerous. The song was from 1984. Now covered across the globe. Pop singers in every music market have recorded it.
