Everyday wear boot

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.
