recently out in my workshop I spilled some oil on one of my Jim Green workhorse mocs and had to just darken them up with some obenaufs oil.
today I decided to throw on this old pair of Rose Anvil kilties I had around because I like kilties.
I think they look good.

My Engineer boot issue is showing up a little here, maybe too much, as one of the Wesco 7400 pair you see below is a 12D and does not fit. The other identical, but more broken in pair is a 13D and with a second pair of socks fit great. The Nicks are a 12.5D and with second pair of socks are also a great fit. The White's Cycle are an 11C and fit the best of the bunch.

Or maybe I sell the whole lot of them and buy one pair of Role Club's? (Not likely)

I have to admit not giving as much attention to my footwear as I have done for jackets so far, so now I am thinking to remedy this but... I am lacking in ideas.

Technically, we can wear almost any shoes or boots with our jackets as they are in general versatile. But ideally, we would want something as nice as the jackets we spend so much on. So here goes:

- Engineer boots: this is probably the quintessential boot to go with the jackets we wear.
- Work boots: another favourite
- Dress boots: wearing these takes the outfit in another direction, I personally like the look of Jodhpur boots.
- Dress shoes: getting more formal
- Sneakers: certainly not ideal but so damn convenient

So in my case, I have a pair of chippewa engineers but don't wear them that often. It's not a practical shoe to travel with as I always need a boot jack to take them off. How do you guys manage these?
I am thinking it might be interesting to get Lewis Leathers motorcycle boots with zippers such as the westway boots: http://www.lewisleathers.com/productinfo.html?code=boo-w10
Are these comfortable to walk with as well as riding?

No experience with work boots, should probably try something

Dress boots, I have a pair of Jodhpur boots that I like and wear more often then the chippewas but they can sometimes look a bit too dressy (dress shoes even more so). And they are not supposed to be worn everyday in any case.

Sneakers, I am guilty of wearing them much more often than I should. It's just very practical. But I would like to find an alternative.

I know this has probably been discussed many times, but I would be curious to take a fresh new look into this. So please share your experiences and your ideas :)
Triple H boots, lumber jack boots (logger), tactical lightweight boots.
