I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.
Any particular boots you might recommend? I tried going this route but apparently should have researched more as the ones I got didn’t really hold up that well.
The weird recommendation I have is sort of a boot adjacent shoe. Asolo agent evo are my daily shoe. They last at least a year for me and I tear through salomons in 6 months max. Downside to these shoes for some is they are flat with little padding. For some reason I love them and I recommend trying them on if you can find them.
For actual boots I use when I need safety shoes, Danner Vicious with super feet inserts. I’ve worn them for more than 20 hours with little issue. And they are still waterproof 5 years later. They were close to $300 with the inserts.
I also want to warn you that my recommendation is me specific. Everyone is different and some people need to step on clouds to make it through a few hours on their feet, I’m not like that at all.
Ah, yeah, I find I need some more padding in my shoes to feel comfortable, but appreciate the reply all the same!
I’ve tried on some without much and was pretty sure my feet would feel like trash within a few short hours standing and walking. Think I spoiled myself with some shoes with gel insoles.
The boots I recommended are fairly squishy. But they are nothing like most running shoes these days. If you are interested in switching to boots I’d recommend going to a store that only sells boots.
Funny thing is I have the opposite problem now. Squishy shoes give me horrible joint and back pain. I think it’s because the force over time is longer and more damaging. I’m not a barefoot advocate but it’s everyone’s own preference.
