Tell us: Are your shoes falling apart?

What?!? No boondockers anymore?

Good Lord, I wore mine out. Loved those ugly-arsed things. Once broken in, they are nigh indestrucible. I wore mine hiking and rock climbing.

I dropped an HY-80 steel access plate from the sail directly on the toe. Dented the steel cap and had to throw them out.

Still have all my little piggies, though.

Usless bloody shoes, time to stop buying them, im getting a tad old for them anyway.

That's a shame: Design classic and all that. My current pair have lasted me about three years already but I don't wear them that often and never in Winter. My previous pair lasted about the same amount of time before they fell apart and they got a lot of use.

I love Docs. The pair I wear for work currently are worn nearly every day, and have been for about two years. Even though I'm on my feet almost constantly they are still rock solid. Damn things could shrug of a direct hit from a nuke.

Worst I ever had were a pair of trainers by DC Shoes. started to fall apart a month after I got them. Expensive too.

Always wore Martins during my career (shoes in summer and boots in winter).

Almost exclusively desert boots and trainers on the odd occasion these days.

Yup, Doc Martins for me too, during my time in the Police Force....

Pusser Steaming Boots were the foot attire of choice when at sea in't Royal Navy.
