We got my husband some Helly Hansen boots the year before last and we noticed a hole in them last year. I am right pissed. If I’m dropping hundreds of dollars on boots, I expect to get my money’s worth. What are your awesome boot suggestions to help me do just that?
It might be worthwhile to check out some boots marketed toward military personnel. There’s LOTS of opinions out there about military boots because tons of us wear them.
I know Danner makes very nice boots. I wore the Reckoning cold weather version and loved them so much. They’re lined with goretex to keep the wet and the cold out as best as possible.
I wore them nonstop for about 2 years. Every regular day of work, weeks or months in the field, even climbing Mount Fuji. Those things lasted a long time until I replaced them with…
the Danner Jungles, which are very much the opposite of cold weather boots. They’re made for hot and wet climates. I love these even more but that’s probably because they’re designed specifically for this type of area.
Kind of a random question, but what is a good way to wear good boots like those as a civilian? I mean fashion-wise. I want to change my wardrobe up and I have stuff like boots and a trench coat that I’ve never been able to figure out what to wear it with.
Just wear them… Maybe sand off the EGA if you’re buying Marine Corps boots
Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is an EGA (Wait nvm I googled it and it’s a logo of sorts? Gotcha that makes sense. Just want the boots to look like boots)
Just try not to look like you’re going to shoot up a school/mall/mosque and just rock your own look dude. Wear what you want to wear, be happy.
I get that but if I’m wearing a long old-looking coat in the middle of a hot summer day I’m gonna look sus (and melt)
Idk I’ll have to see if it gets cold enough this year to wear it. I’m going to wear it on Halloween as part of my costume, and then I can ask some of my friends what I could do to pull off the look normally
Thank you!
