Work in Redimix and my brunt boots have held up better than any other pair i have had and have ran through a bunch.

Best of luck to ya man. I was blessed with a pretty stubborn attitude towards pain and just kept on keeping on. It took me three seasons to grow a brain and realize these stiff boots were the issue and ditch them. So i have ended up with a pretty chronic case of metatarsalgia. It is healing little by little but dang it likes to just hang on at this point.

Maybe you can glean some value from my stupidity and prevent it from getting to a more advanced and severe problem like i did. I mean the doc was like, “you just kept hunting and hiking miles with your feet like this”? I’m like “well duh, not just gonna sit around”, lol. But now i wish i woulda bit the bullet and ditched those expensive stiff boots the instant i felt that burn in the balls of my feet.

Yeah when I got the pain I laid up for a few days and skipped a few days of season to heal a bit. I didnt want to push and do real damage. The test will be once the snow melts and I get back at it and whether or not it keeps happening. I'm looking to add a more flexible boot to my stable in the mean time and try it as well as get some more supportive every day wear. It may take me 3-4 pairs to get it done, but I dont like being uncomfortable so its what I will do.

Batching it and on jobs pouring it. Also do a bunch of asphalt which is tough on stuff. This winter in the snow and slop they have kept my feet dry . They are kind of slippery on ice wore them out ice fishing the other day and didn’t put my cleats on and ate shit pretty hard won’t make that mistake again.

They are the Marin with composite toes.

Keen San Jose have been awesome for my feet for the past 2 years I've had them. They are a fantastic for what you were looking for as casual, light duty, or office boots. Extremely comfortable. I plan on getting another pair whenever that time comes.

Whats everyone wearing as an every day boot to keep your feet and back healthy? I've come to the conclusion that my Georgia Romeos are probably doing more harm than good as an every day boot on my feet and back. Insoles alone helped with my back, but the lack of support and the loose fit I think is a contributing factor to some of my foot and back issues. I used to wear Keens, but I tore through them pretty quick. I dont plan on wearing my beartooths to the office so I need something more casual or at least not as big and stiff. I do wear boots daily and would like to stay that way. Whats everyone using?

In our practice we always recommended footgear that has a minimum of a 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch heel height to the shoe. In addition, we like a shoe or boot that doesn't twist easy: we want stability, especially if you are using an orthotic in it. Lastly the shape of the sole should resemble the shape of your foot. My dad use to put the patients sole up against their foot to show them if it was the right shape or not, this was demonstration.

This info has proven time and time again to help with alignment issues..

I'll send you a DM with our number if you have any other questions, its easier to discuss more over the phone.
