Its about to get really wet weather around here so I was thinking about buying some hiking boots to wear to and from work but I’m worried that they will make me look too much like a sperg lord neckbeard type. Ill probably mostly wear with jeans, dickies and Ben Davis pants. Something like this. get rain boots?

When did Hitec become an accepatable brand? I worked at Big5 (discount sporting goods) from like '05-'09 and they were always horrible quality.

Mr. Wizard - maybe consider some gore-tex running shoes, or some of those newer type of hybrid trail running/hiking book; might make you look less like a German tourist.

I was going to say the same "trail running" shoes have been hot for a minute now. Nike has a bunch of them. Solomon is supposedly the big brand, but I imagine they're done by now. You could also get a pair of Red Wings and wear them as normal boots when the weather turns cold. I picked up some moc toes a while back and that's pretty much what I use them for. Also, you can't go wrong with bean boots. Wait, one last one... I bought some of these Vans MTE 1's a few years ago and they're my go-to winter shoe, but they'd work in early spring/late fall too. They look like regular Vans Sk8-Hi. www.vans.com/en-us/shoes-c00081/sk8-hi-mte-1-shoe-pvn0a5hzy1kp

Yeah, I hate "hiking boots". I wear my big ass rubber boots with pride, and if it's too hot for those I wear some lightweight running shoes with decent treads. Something that will dry out quick.

I used to buy the same size/style of Onitsuka Tigers all the time, beat them up pretty good (always poked through the pinky toe, they're a bit narrow) but it appears they no longer make/ship them to Canada and/or North America. Shitty.

Shitty. Yeah I discovered this a couple weeks ago and it's been pissing me off ever since because the Mexico 66 is arguably the perfect sneaker

Sorry you guys, but it appears you can’t get KangaROOS anymore either.

I wear my (regular, non-waterproof) Blundstones year-round in Portland,OR. Never have wet feet. Unless you’re constantly walking through inches of water, Gore-Tex is overkill for work commutes.

I don’t like Blundstones they used to be huge here in the 90’s though.

People who wear blundstones here as a fashion statement are usually doing some retro throwback al-la amyl and the sniffers style so we don’t wanna do that.

Wearing hiking boots as just like normally everyday shoes is just as bad as wearing pants that convert to shorts.

My La Sportiva trail running shoes have been the best sneakers I have owned in years and will absolutely be buying another pair by the end of summer. They aren’t the sexiest shoe but I prefer to dress for utility these days (I hate getting pussy)

You got muck boots in ausland? Just get those, why fuck around? I also have had varying success with spray waterproofing on new balances, which new balance does make a gore Tex version of 1996 I think? Either way trail shoes are whack and you look like a hippie.
