Its been about a a year need something new/better

I like the GSG9 because they feel like sneakers yet work like boots.
But they are slipperly on surfaces that are smooth, and I cant find GOOD laces anywhere (They need to be 108 and most places carry 60-90)
What do you suggest?
I like black because it works for everything but am open other colors

I was reading that those might be the future of footwear. Letting your toes move indeendelty is supposed to be good for your back, posture, ankle and knee pain. But they is ugly

They look like 'High' High-tops.

Put some jeans on they look like boots, you dont tuck them in or anything. If I had to wear boots all day, I would wear these, but like I said, I want to know what everyone else is using

Perhaps you could get some military jungle boots and resole them.

Off duty I usually wear flip flops and cargo shorts, but when jeans are required I wear some Ariats or sneakers.

Socks only with pants. If you were them with shorts they are to be worn w/o socks IMO.

These are supposed to be the bomb for workouts - one of my instructors has a pair. I just don't want to drop $80 on a pair right now.

Mark - I wear flip flops or sandals with my cargo shorts, cowboy boots, flip flops or sandals with jeans.

I buy 550 cord to use for replacement laces on all of my boots and sneakers, it comes in a variety of colors and is more durable than most laces, plus what I don't use for laces gets used for other stuff.

For years I have worn various pairs of custom cowboy boots, they are the most comfortable I have ever had on my hard to fit feet.

I have a pair of Bates "tactical" boots. I wear them every day that I'm not in work attire. Very comfortable.
