Mighty Favog Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Choppin' wood? Shoveling snow? Steel-toed Red Wings!! Things felt/fit better than my regular shoes. Elementary school: Hush Puppy's Pro-skateboarding days: Converse Dr. J's hightops and lowtops. Now: Just till they wear out, I found a couple pairs of Van's and Van's Half-Cabs in the closet. Nike: Swore those off when every pair started squeeking after a few weeks from the footbed. When a real winter hits again: Merrell, but the soles wear too fast for me. Formal: Nunn Bush from Kohl's for $29. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Nike all court was the best sneaker ever made! Nunn Bush? Got a pair of dress shoes by them from the early 80s, shiny as black glass and will last forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I try to not wear things on my feet. It's a little harsh for me to do that here ... I do know a guy that only puts shoes on when he enters establishments with the No Shirt No Shoes .... You can barefoot around here. You do need to pay attention to what you are stepping on. Rambling... I wear sandals. Tevas for hiking/fishing... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 more subtle stuff like mesquite thorns, clumps of cactus... but, yes critters do figure into the equation. I stumble bum around and make lots of noise to give them a chance to leave. Only run into a couple of nasties at the lake. A Gila Monster... they aren't a real threat. And a Mojave Rattler. These can be ornery. Know to be ill tempered. This one was no exception. Green bastards anyway... We managed to get around each other. I was on the look out for it on my way back. Saw it, laying on the bank waiting... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working outside, old sneakers from the late 1990s. Beat up and I don't mind ruining them. Going out Merrell of Nike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 when I was on Kauai, it was slippers or barefoot. felt soled tabis for reef walking. They're slipper socks with a special sole... Good for climbing slimy beach rocks, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 They call it A'a lava. Because that's the sound you make walking on it. Seriously that is what the Hawaiians call it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 To be sure grasshopper, Liked those rubber slip on slippers for wading,slippery rocks and such. Not sure either about a green color snake out there. Got a blackhead coachwhip here Snake wasn't too agressive , as I stumbled upon it. Fast snake.
