You want steel toe work boots. You do not want steel toe hiking boots.

But if your job doesn't require steel toes, composite toes can be a compromise.

btw @CTL remember how you said Tacos are shit? I found that pic you sent me

it only happens with AK mags

huh

er

I only said they're shit because they're not in vogue and dedicated AR mag pouches are better

they functionally fine

🤷🏿

you're still correct, and they are more expensive than kywis considering they aren't much better, but I doubt they're gonna get you killed using AR mags

they're not going to get you killed lmao

I'm not required to wear steel, but I wouldn't mind it. I haven't been wearing them thus far. Not many toe threats in this part of the factory.

but most importantly

tacos are ugly

dab

😏

I've been wearing Brooks running shoes and they have enough traction but they're fucking painful.

Damn why are running shoes uncomfortable?

No fucking clue. They're my size and have arch support.

Maybe they're just designed to be comfortable on moving feet or something. But it's gotten to the point where even my thin shoes feel better, and just walking around in these hurts. I'd never wear the others to work though. Did that the first two days and it was 10x worse.

Gonna have to state your question, not sure what you're not geting.

Just wear crocks

Wear thicker socks

get better running shoes, they should be the opposite of uncomfortable

Yeah that was my point

I ain't owned running shoes that were nice while running but uncomfortable to stand in

Sounds like just wrong shape for your feet or something

I don't fucking know what to do then. I went to a running store. The guy fit me for these.

What?

Go back and tell him he fit you wrong and you hate them

Tell him you want crocks

I don't even own crocks but I'm talking myself into it.

I've had them for probably 2 or 3 years. I never realized how bad it was till I started spending 12 hour days in them.

More important issue is, when I get new shoes, how do I know they'll work if I only have 5 minutes to walk around in the store and I can't judge them by minor issues because they'll be very different once broken in?

Bro, 12 hour days are going to suck on your feet even if you're wearing pillows full of feathers pulled from God's favorite goose.

Have you tried aftermarket insoles?

No. Should I?

maybe?

buy some good ones

what socks are you using?
