My shoes dry rotted

[Hairy Hands Harry]

Sob. I needed a new pair of working shoes. I put on some old shoes from my cupboard. A little dirty looking but plenty of sole. Then I went out into the yard. The soles literally crumbled apart. Now I gotta buy some new shoes. Oh the Huge Manatee.

:(

[xDDD]

What kind of work?
Office? Yard work? Warehouse? Construction?

I'm guessing maybe not the latter since you said "shoes" and not boots.

Shoe Goo also works pretty well.

They are crumbled way beyond that.

Yard work mostly. I should get some lightweight boots. More protection from the weeds with the needles on them.

I was thinking of getting some of those australlian slip on boots adam savage wears... they seem industrious.

tho I'm sure now that they've been endorsed by adam savage they're selling for like 10000000x what they're worth...

Heck yeah dude, I think every man should have at least one decent pair of boots. They can be some of the comfiest footwear once they are broken in.

Yeeaaahh be careful of endorsed/sponsered junk like that, because they will absolutely be overpriced.
If you're from western Canada, I know the Pacific Northwest allegedly has some of the best bootmakers in the world. TONS of boot companies around there. Might be worth looking into.


I would also recommend this Youtube Channel called "Rose Anvil" to both of you. He cuts boots/shoes in half and inspects the build quality of them. Very informative channel and he's the only one insane enough to destroy $80,000 worth of shoes and counting.

I mean I feel like he did genuinely wear the boots and just said what boots he wears... I'm just sure after he's said that they're infinitely more popular and now sell for more... tho from what I understand there are now many cheap ripoffs to choose from... so that's also fun I guess.

edit: is that the channel that got harassed by youtube for cutting a WW2 nazi boot in half?
