You ever try a pair of Lewis Westways? Same height (10") as a standard engineer boot, but neater-fitting and zipped up the back. Tough as an engineer, but feel much lighter on (probably because of the fit). Not cheap, but worth looking into if you want something in sorta the same vein as an engineer but without the sense of them hanging off your feet that some engineers can give.

The opposite of dad's jeans.
Edge of Tomorrow was good, but I really liked Oblivion. It's a mash up of themes from so many sci-fi films of the last 20 years, but because of that I reckon that 50 years from now Oblivion will be the gateway movie that leads future teenagers to discover films like the Matrix series that have become so 'not cool' now that in 50+ years they will be totally forgotten.

There were but were taken down. Not a moment too soon, if you ask me.

I liked it better before the superfluous and badly done sequels. Somehow they diminished the original. Similar to Star Wars in that regard.

When Neo started using his matrix powers in the real world it all got a bit confusing for me. Great special effects though, especially in the last one. Apparently Keanu Reeves gave a big chunk of his paycheck to the special effects people when the last movie wrapped.
You know, the Matrix trilogy was such a 'thing' that after it became 'uncool', I thought Reeves would never (not that he'd need to) work again; it kinda typecast him as Neo.
BUT....
The John Wick movies are excellent IMHO. Non-stop moody action, and never for one moment thought Reeves was just playing his matrix character. That's acting right there. Tom Cruise (with the exception of Eyes Wide Shut) always 'plays' Tom Cruise. But in the John Wick movies, Reeves can really differentiate himself from other action characters he's played. That's really more acting then he usually gets credit for.

Agreed! Swayze was excellent in that movie. One of those bad guys you kind of root for, despite his character flaws, thanks to a charming demeanor.
Me too. BTW, did you ever do anything on your cowboy boots idea?
