My guess is you’d use them more for pickleball these days.

They’re tennis shoes by what tennis shoes used to be called.

Anyone wear Danner boots?
Re: Kicks
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:29 am
I have.
good boots, very expensive but good.
I know guys thay swear by them.and will.never wear another boot, ever.
I prefer Redwings, Irish Setters (also Redwing just somehow a different variation of the brand
..I dunno).
I like thorogoods too.
all od.thise are cheaper than Danner.

i’ve got a pair of Oboz boots that are ~4 years old…second best pair i’ve ever owned (#1 is a pair of Vasques i had back in the early 2000’s)

Danner boots are stitchdown construction, which is how most serious work boots are made. Redwings, Wolverine 1000 Mile, and Thorogood are all Goodyear welted (and are often considered "Heritage" or "lifestyle" boots). Stitchdown construction is usually hand-done and is considered more durable. Goodyear welted shoes are usually considered easier to break in than stitchdown. The differences on both counts are mostly minimal.TDub wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:29 am I have.

The most comfortable boots I've ever owned were Thorogood 1892s -- Goodyear welted.
White's are hand-welted, which is hard and time-consuming and provides a combination of the best of both styles (when done well) -- which is why they're in a different price category altogether.

I just haven't felt like spending that much on a boot.
So, instead I spend that much replacing my old boots instead of just buying whites that last forever and have lifetime warranties

redwings have more give and flex in them, which, I like for roofs, walking wallplates even better for hiking as I wear them hunting occasionally.
Danners are more solid and stiff and better for ground work, dirt guys etc.
Whites are good for everything.

I've said before, probably in this thread, that I have 3 pairs of shoes. 1 pair of brown dress shoes, 1 pair of black dress shoes and my Adidas tennis shoes.
I'm told it gets cold here and I'll probably need a par of boots. Warm and water proof are important, comfortable would be nice.
Whatcha got? I don't want to spend too much, but I also realize I get what I pay for.

I use arctic muck boots in the winter but those are more of a chore boot.
hunting boots have some decent insualted options.
As far as non work/chore/hunting type boots? I got nothing.
