Footwear to go with our jackets

[Jonanah]

Now that I've worn the shoes for a few days, here are a few pictures. Apart from the fact that they are super comfortable, they look more like work boots than barefoot shoes, which I think is pretty cool.

And what are these? Always looking for good barefoot style work boots. Have been considering Jim Greene’s African rangers for awhile but never pulled the trigger on them

I found video about training your engineer boots to make it creases in certain way, japanese people are very thorough with everything

I'm not really a fan of zips on shoes, but the zipped boots in the video look cool.
Apart from that, they don't do anything different to what happens when you wear them normally. It just doesn't work if you only wear them once a fortnight.
I just take my new boots for a walk around the forest (5 km), ideally when it's moist, and then they don't look new any more

I get what he is trying to do, but it's harder on old already heavily creased leather like in the video, if the boots was pristine, I think it is more achievable to guide the creasing to be more balanced, and it also has to do with the way we walk too, the more symmetrical our gait the more balanced looking the creases on our jeans and boots.
