Yup, they are definitely heavy, but it's the weight distribution along the foot that makes it uncomfortable, in my opinion.
As someone who walks very heavy and has done an intense amount of construction in his short 29 years on the planet I can say there is no way that I would wear a boot like the Indys to do any work in. Very little cushioning, not nearly thick enough leather and very little reinforcement in high stress areas.
I totally agree with you on that. I think years ago the 403 boot would have been a decent "work boot". Even now someone who works in a wood shop or light duty shop of some sort could pull them off. But heavy duty jobs, the boots wouldn't survive. I work as a Heavy Equipment Hydraulics Tech' and burn through a pair of modern heavyduty work boots every 12 months. HOWEVER I do love to rock the "indys" on my time off
What are peoples opinions of longwings versus shortwing wintips? I know Alden long wings seem to be more sought after but why is that?
Rocking my new #8 PTBs today. Since we're talking about shortwings, I am posting my new #8 shortwings on the Grant last that I haven't worn yet. Just kopped 'em. I was stoked to find shortwings on something other than the Barrie, and I happen to love the Grant.

Sorry to change th subject but does anyone know how the cork soles on the Indy boots do on ice and snow?
In my opinion, not good. If you are going to use them in ice and snow then consider having your local shoe guy out on a commando type sole.
