Gotcha, thanks!

Gotcha, thanks!

I'm part of that "will never step into a construction zone" crowd. I just like my things to be robust and comfortable. The timberlands were mostly for style. But basically anything I can wear during winter and walk through the slush around the university campus, while still looking professional enough to take into the lab, hospital, and operating rooms.

I know this makes it sound difficult, but I guess I'm going into this not knowing much about boots (I've only baught the typical adidas and nike runners, soccer cleats, some super heavy-duty winter boots, and some not-so-amazing hiking boots that hurt my feet and knees after a few hours). I guess I want to bridge that "super-heavy duty winter boots" and "hiking boots" gap with a reliable and fashionable pair...

Thanks! Yeah, this looks really good! Repairability isn't all too important (I know that's no longer BIFL).

The main thing was something stylish enough to wear to school/work (I work in the hospital and research buildings) that won't fail too quickly and is robust.

Gotcha, thanks!

What's your impression of Vasque?

That's just what someone called them so I just used it. I meant daily beater boots that don't look super heavy duty and can be worn in all weather. I'll mostly wear in winter and during hikes.

Fair enough!

I don't mean I won't buy another pair ever. I mean, will they last 4 or 5 winters in Canada?

As for the styling, something similar to these. Grippy, and can be worn indoors and out for hiking etc. Budget being under $300, the lower the better.

As for pictures, for some reason I wasn't able to when I posted this. I'll look into why.

Thanks!
