You already posted this on /out/ and /k/.

I am a man of many questions

>>1066709
Lol I wear my tony lama cowboy boots when I'm over there for work

Chicks love them

What kind of terrain do you think of traversing and for how long?

>>1066709
If they're comfortable, fit well, and don't rub, yes.

>>1066709
yes, they are basically the perfect shoe.
waterproof/rugged, fashionable, and comfortable.
they are the range rover of shoes.
equally at home on the red carpet or in siberia.

>>1066709
why not? theyre comfy af

Yes. Just be sure to set the time machine to 1993 before you get in.

sure, but break them in first

>>1066709
No. Wear trainers. We have pavements in europe, you don't need boots.

>>1067791
fashionable my ass, they're the most homosexual footwear there is.

You can get cheap crepe soled desert boots for $40 / £25

An option for warmer weather, more comfy than those Timberlands

>>1066709
Winter? Yeah why not. Summer? nope

New balance, vans slip one, sperry topsiders, red wing if you want to wear boots, maybe some sort of trail running shoe if you are going to do some light hiking. No need to bring constructions boots, dress shoes, full on running shoes etc

wear hiking boots if you care about your body at all

Timberlands are way too bulky/clunky.

>>1067791
yes if you are a wigger from 2006 they are completely fashionable and go great with silver chains, fitted baseball caps and oversized polo shirts.

>>1066709
no. you might as well wear a GOD BLESS AMERICA t-shirt and carry around an automatic rifle in one hand and a hamburger in another. You will just look like a dumb unfashionable redneck and people will snicker. You think any club is going to let you in wearing work boots? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER BETA

Look up Common Projects Achilles Low as a good starting point if you have $500 to spend on shoes, if you are a poorfag at least spring $150 or so for something that looks half civilised. Here's a good place to start.

I have both. tim's are 4.1lbs. merrells are 2.1lbs. A pound per foot is very very significant if you're doing any significant amount of walking/trekking.

work boots are designed to protect your feet from work hazards/OSHA (steel toe, etc). the have virtually no padding. hikers are designed to protect your feet, and in turn, your entire posterior chain while you walk considerable distance.

they do have mountaineering boots that are bulky, but that's very different than your average hiker.

this is just advice. DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANNA DO

I personally wouldn't. Depending how much you're gonna be walking in them, they WILL feel heavy after awhile. Go for Lowas they're around the same price range as timbs, light,comfortable, waterproof, and durable. Had them while I was deployed in Afghanistan and never had any blisters. Timbs, if not really broken in, will fuck up your feet. Again, depends how much you'll be hiking and walking in them.
