best boots for striping

Striping is a lot of walking - just wondering if anyone has a boot they swear by. I get the Wolverines 6" boots. They last from 9 months to a year. Been sticking with them for the last ten years. I've tried Timberland, Redwings, Sears Diehards, Caterpillar, etc. I even got a pair of Stanleys for $40 once that lasted a little while. Afraid trying anything else is just a crapshoot. I have found the Redwings feel great but don't last long. Same with Timberlands. I really liked the CATs but they're expensive and I have hard time getting the right size/fit. Sears Diehards are probably the cheapest of these but there is no tread.

I gave up on heavy boots. I keep a pair in the truck for the jobs that I have to have em on but will change back to my new balance when they aren't looking. last sunday I wore my flip flops. LOL on asphalt and concrete I think any shoe will have a limited life.

I do the same thing as ncstripe1, can't handle them work boots, it's funny too because I ask a Lady from osha about working boots and she said I didn't need to wear them, but the GC's safety officers they are always require them

The GC has to cover himself in case you drop a can of paint on your foot. OSHA is like the IRS, ask ten agents the same question and get ten different answers and none of them are right, but you still have to pay the ticket.

You are absolutely right straightline

Safety rules and safety officers are like any bureaucratic issue. Logic & thought do not ever play a part. Just blind obedience to "The Rules". Years ago I was on a project in a street sweeper and the Safety supt. came and told me that I had to have long pants and a hard hat and a vest. I asked him if he would sign me out or do I need the foreman to do it. It was 97 degrees and Mobil brand sweepers are all steel with no insulation so the engine turns the cab into an oven. A vest adds a layer clothes to hold in heat as well as a hard hat. Story ends with three officials in a conference with me agreeing that I could finish the day. I informed them that I was scheduled for the next day too. I told them nothing changes tomorrow so decide do I leave now or can we apply a little common sense to this particular issue. I ended up returning to the job site several times through its completion. This was over 20 years ago today the rule nazi's have too much power.

They don't care if the heat kills you as long as they can identify the body after the spacecraft crashes on you.

I have a pair of Dakotas that have been awesome, but as said already they stay in the truck unless required

Buy a rider then it doesn't matter what kind of footwear you have.

There used to be a guy always wore roller skates. He had the job of painting some big stadium lots, not sure they were comfortable but he was sure fun to watch.
