Work Boots to go with Slim Jeans.

[mr. burns]

i used these doing forestry type work for a year or so. the 8287, i think. if you're just doing landscaping, you don't need a steel toe. the toe on these is pretty strong though. kept a big cut of a tree trunk from smashing my toes.

looked like this when new [not my pic].

if i were you, though, i'd forget about style and get some merrells or something. that's what i replaced these with and they were lighter and more comfortable.

The hem is 19cm on what waist size? If you're a 27, that's a pretty wide hem measurement, but if you're a 34 that's slim.

Air force, army, navy approved military boots, water proof, steel toe, hot wather, coldweather. flight approved etc, i think most are USA made aswell.

I killed it? I'm sorry. I did some research, and red wing makes a pretty reliable steel toe line. If that's what you need. Sorry.

i say, Red Wings or White's lace-to-toe Smoke Jumper or Northwest [if you care for the best]__ get something a bit wider than you normally wear [for added comfort]__ e.i., D>E, E>2E, etc. check ebay for great discounts. you can get RWs for even less than 100 and White's from around 120 [400+ retail].

this thread ******* sucks because of doin fine

anyway, here's a fun story:

when I stopped by the alden store a few months ago to try on some indys, a fireman had just dropped off two of his pairs to get resoled. were totally ******* amazing looking - I should've taken pictures.

'can't work in them' ******. apparently the store sells the majority of their indys to firemen, construction workers and contractors

Rough like Timberland wear, yeah
Me and the Clan, and you're the Landcruisers out there
Peace to all the crooks, all the niggas with bad looks
Bald heads, braids, blow this hook
We got chrome tecs, nickel plated macs
Black axe, drug dealing styles in phat stacks
I've only been a good ***** for a minute though
'cause I got to get my props, and win it you
I got beef with commercial-ass niggas with gold teeth
lampin in a Lexus eating beef
Straight up and down don't even bother
I got forty niggas up in here now, who kill niggas fathers

Agreed. Justin makes some work boots that fit slim at the calf. I've got a pair of short zip-sides that works decently.

I work in my red wings, I think they look great
