Re: Work Boots for Woodworking
Maybe the best approach would be to allow this sort of thread to die a natural death. Don't respond at all.

Re: Work Boots for Woodworking
Actually this is a valid subject in spite of a possibly shaky origin. My wood shop is 1500 sq. ft. (36' x 40' plus a small old cellar room) in the basement of the west wing of the house and all concrete. My feet, legs and back have NEVER liked concrete floors after a few minutes of standing.
I do have two thick 4' x 6' rubber mats in front of the workbench that feel great but I can't do that with the whole floor. Too hard to roll machines around.
What I can do is be very careful about what kind of shoes I wear. I Keep a pair of very cushioned sole work shoes parked at the top of the mostly open basement stairs. I use high top shoes because I often go in and out of the outside access door (my only basement window) moving firewood in and ashes out, often in several inches of snow. I only lace them up a couple if inches so that I can instantly step in or out of them without wasting time with lacing them up. I never walk into the main part of the house in them to avoid tracking sawdust. I keep a long handled shoe horn hanging at the top of the stairs to keep it easy.
Note that my workbench sits just inside of that outside door/window to take maximum advantage of the available natural light and being able to look outside from time to time.

Re: Work Boots for Woodworking
Nice, I've been contemplating getting some hiking style boots. I'm the same way up to now, I'm getting the most comfortable pair. Marks has a great return policy, too. I'm curious about what the rest of the world thinks of it and the redwings are a sure success.
