So, last week, or maybe two weeks ago a guy at work dumped oh, 30 or so sheets of laminated 1.25 inch plywood on his foot. He was not wearing steel toed shoes. Luckily he did not break his foot or any toes. But his foot swelled to the size of a loaf of bread… and turned a deathly, gangrenous black/green/yellow.
It was a nice reminder that I need some steel toed shoes. I have not worn any in years. Like 12 or 13 years and I have been very lucky.
I will not, as in, I refuse to wear “work boots”. Although I am technically a “workman” I just find them to be hideous, stinky, and too heavy. So it’s been a running shoe or pull on casual boot for YEARS. If I had to wear boots I wore hiking boots. In fact I just purchased a new pair of Danner fancy boots. They’re gorgeous, incredibly hard to break but they are not steel toed. Furthermore, I can’t wear them all day at work after so many years of running shoes. And they’re so pretty, I don’t want to ruin them dicking around work.
I’ve tried to get into nice logger boots or lineman boots but I feel like I should be either 1) heading out to the road house and/or truck stop for a chicken fried steak or 2) heading out to the local S&M bear bar for a good romp. Either way, not really my thing. I’m not against either, but it just isn’t my deal.
So, I have had a pair of Dansko clogs since 2002 which I love. But not steel toed either. Finally, I came across these jems. If this works in going to be entering a whole new world. Clogs all day? Steel toed clogs all day? Clogs that aren’t rubber or nightmarish?
Shit, I’ll give it a try and if it doesn’t work out, I’ve got a nice pair of brown clogs to go with my oxblood ones.
