Bought a pair of Altama px 10.5 jungle boots. Probly seems stupid, considering I live in the desert. I got them because I don't plan on being here forever, wanna spend more time in the shit ::wacky:: plus I fukn hate having wet sweaty feet. All I've managed to use them for is work. Anyway, the...
I'm doing some hitching and train hopping through the desert and beyond. I don't know if I should take my 14 eye black docs or these military type hiking boots I got at thrift store. My freind says my docs are unpractical but they're comfortable and everything I'm not sure I need advice. Do...
Will normal toe waterproof work boots or shoes work just as well for hiking? I can get a pair easily, if that's the case? What are the pros and cons of traveling with work boots/ shoes?
Hey everyone, so I passed up buying a rothco pack in favor of buying an actual gi one but I already have some rothco jungle boots. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on how they would hold up for vagabonding. Has anyone used them? Were they okay? Should I look for something actaully gi...
I researched this method to waterproof shoes and boots, but I see no reason this couldn't work on any fabric/canvas gear. I think this makes things more water resistant than proof, but whatever works is what I say.
In this example, let's use shoes.
Get yourself some beeswax. You can find it...
Show me your DIY boots! Here's mine:
They're steel toed military surplus combat boots. I added some spikes for the heck of it, and drew on a bunch of anarchist stuff all over it.
if your boots dont keep your feet warm enough this idea seems like it would work.
the idea is to take one of those windshield sun shades and cut some pieces out the same size as your boot insoles. put them in the bottom of your shoes and youre done.
I accidentally went knee deep in a peat bog yesterday in a blizzard on Dartmoor. My boots are soaked. They are currently stuffed with dirty socks to soak up some of the water and sitting on the dashboard of my van soaking up any sun that there is.
Has anybody got a top tips for drying out footwear?
So I love boots. Love 'em to bits. Haven't worn anything but boots for over a decade now ('cept when I take the dog around the block or something). I have so many pairs, but I only wore one for the two years I was hitching around Europe. I decided to make a vid just to show how impressively done...
So I've got a nice pair of timberlands, red leather. I want to polish them up, not so much for the shine but to protect the leather and keep them waterproof. What's the best option? I've got a lot of experience polishing combats but never a work style boot. Do they make a good "red" polish or...
I bought these boots on sale in like new condition for $45. I've been in boots for years, and these are by far the best boots I've owned....then again I don't ever splurge on them either so I guess I should say that these are the best boots around for under $100.
-Extremely lightweight for a...
I've been looking at some all-leather logging boots, some with steel toe at various sporting goods stores and a couple places like Sears.

Does anyone have any experience with surplus jungle boots for summertime freight adventures. I used tennis shoes last summer for about a week and I need something a little more durable.
Something like these:

I have a pair of nevados boots, they're really comfy but they aren't waterproof at all. I know even if they were a little waterproof they'd still get wet cause they're that mesh breathable material. My boyfriend and I are gonna be hopping out to pennsylvania in a week or so and i want some...
Hi ALL,
I just got a pair of caterpillar steel toe boots kicked down. they are my size and they confortable. I was just wondering what are all your views on steel toe boots? I have been told by some they would never were them because the steel can cut your toes off if they get run over. Then I...
First of all i want to say that i don't agree with the fuckery that the Israeli government does but i like these boots. They are worn by the the Israeli Shayetet 13 special forces and other Israeli special forces fighting groups. They are made in northern Israel.
I've been wearing these for a...
So its pretty stupid to just throw your old shoes or boots away when you have new ones, right?
What do you do with them? what ways you re-use or recycle them?
I am curious to the possible many ways to reuse them. Please tell me about your ideas.
Today I have made armor plates for my new boots...
Hey, my buddy and i are looking for a good second hand store that's likely to have some good boots. Any ideas? We're in the port moody area but have busability.
I've been searching for a good pair of leather boots my whole life now, especially after I hit the road. And as a girl, the search is almost futile. Salvation Amry only stocks in size 11 or up and the ones at Goodwill always have 2 inch heels. What the hell is the point of heels anyway?
I just...
Materials needed:
Comfy boots.
Metal weight plates from curtain blinds, the ones with the metal bead chains attached to them.
Wrenches, or pliers, big enough for some leverage.
How to:
Grip the plates at the ends using the pliers, with the holes for the chains held vertically, and bend them a...

Anyone have any recommendations on a good relatively inexpensive pair of hiking boots? I was going nearly cross country a couple months back and ruined my trip by wearing a shitty old pair of worn out workboots. Packing too heavy had a part in it but I fucked my feet up real bad. Ended up...
