What Footwear Are You Wearing Today?

[KDavid Umlauf]

Today, I'm breaking in a new pair of Merrell Wilderness backpacking boots. Thick leather, a bit heavy....very old school.

Beginning the breaking in of a Gokey oxford. I think it will take a while. Thick leather but US made. Also just learned that Orvis no longer owns Gokey.

Recently picked up my first pair of chukka boots made by Skechers. Didn't know they made anything but tennis shoes/trainers. Certainly a cheap price but very well made. Love the color referred to as cognac. https://www.midnightvelvet.com/p/sk...MIlfe5oOvG7gIV0b3ACh04UwjcEAQYAiABEgI6UfD_BwE

Alden loafers in the office on a cold Friday, then a bourbon at the club..! Of course, unfortunately still socially distanced. These are discontinued Alden "Long Vamp Dark Brown Calfskin", model 725. They were the forerunner to the LHS. Now, I love my Alden cordovan LHS's, however, if you have a higher instep, these fit like a glove when you get them on. They are the Van Last. Can get them still in limited sizes at Sherman Brothers of Philadelphia for a very reasonable price.

360 degree perfection: the Alden snuff suede LHS's, the best friend napping, the stand alone Globe and the navy hued, premium leather Ekorne and ottoman! My friend, you have great taste. With just two of the four, I'll have to work on acquiring the other two LOL.

My shoes this day are my whiskey hued shell cordovan Alden Ranger Mocs, fitted with their unique plantation crepe soles.

Today's footwear are my heavy duty Timberland, natural rubber lug soled camp mocs. I've had pairs of these in my rotation for at least a quarter of a century...I think I'm in love?

My footwear this week hasn't been very traditional due to all the ice and snow, but I love these Bogs. They are actually more comfortable to walk in than my so-called hiking boots.

Bean Boots moccasins and Woolrich socks for navigating snow, ice, and slush.

In my 67 years of living I had not been a boot wearer until I recently acquired Skecher's Bregman chukka boots. Wear those all the time now as I love the look of them. Plus they're easy on the feet, While I occasionally give my recently thrifted suede brogues some time on the street.

The last rainy day, I was polishing shoes. Also walk in Brogues to give them some time on the street.

Given the increasing frequency of grief my back has been giving me these past few years, I suspect my days of section hiking the Appalachian Trail may be over...I can't imagine walking the Trail with a fully loaded pack these days! So recently I have begun wearing my fairly new pair of Danner Lite Hikers for our five mile fitness walks three days a week...it gives the lite Hikers wear time on the street and forces me to exercise just slightly harder than the running shoes do. LOL.

Plus they probably help your ankles and, therefore, your posture and back.
