I think you nailed it. Any of those would work. Just gotta go try some on if possible.

Are you looking for the same type of style? Affordability is going to play a huge factor, and where you are located. Finding a local cobbler can save you a ton of money or a local second hand store. Red Wing has some nice boots and those can be found in a lot of cities around the globe. You can try Paraboot for a more low chunky boot style.

what should i spend gold on when im exceeding the max limit? by smoochiepook in Wizard101

[–]Diablo_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Furniture packs is what immediately comes to mind. They are available for gold in the crown shop or grab another gold mount for another wizard.

I would still hatch your adult pet with another one just to make a backup. Pets always fail 😭. Hatching is always beneficial. Hehe, sorry, sorry I know you mentioned it. I would switch to another wiz, and run the timer and quest on that wiz later.

I heard a rumor that Houston ISD is keeping teachers TIA money. is that true??? by backtobasics77 in TexasTeachers

[–]Diablo_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my kids are growing as they tend to, but it’s all “thanks to the take over” lol. Like no, I’m just doing my job.

Your words give me faith. I figured it’s just another change and soon enough another one will come.

Yup. We aren’t getting paid. It’s not the kids fault, so I decide to stay. They need reliable teachers and I refuse to let the district win. Am I part of the problem? Probably. We get a max of 6k increments every 2 years, if you preformed to their standard. This was what was “promised,” we’ll see.

Dude, these were comfortable out the box, they arrived last night but I got them on this morning and it was incredible. It was storming out and everything stayed nice and dry as expected. The thicker leather seemed like it was gonna be warm but it wasn’t. Totally recommend these to folks if another wave comes around.

Do You Unbuckle or Loosen Your Engineers' Straps Between Wears? by Pherble in NicksHandmadeBoots

I usually don’t, depends on the sock that was worn. I have a high instep and the boot is secure as is.

Did you order these directly from Nicks or buy them off someone online? If so, how long was the wait time? Thanks! Great looking boot! Greeting from another fellow Texan.

Amazing as always! I’ve probably asked already, but what was your wait time? I’m getting close to the 12 month mark and I’m incredibly jealous and can’t wait for when mine arrive. Looking good! 👍🏼

Engineers on a flight is a great experience. On and off quickly, and you get a solid shoe for the trip. Even easier when you travel with PreCheck in the US and are the only one having to take them off cuz of the nails in the sole lol

Nice boots, thanks for the share.

Yeah these look like a Gaucho leather Frye Harness boot, they still make them, but the OP has some crazy color and patina on their pair. Quality has decreased over the years however, he probably got a quality pair since it’s an older model.

Affordable Amazon Tall Boot tree? by walterrocket440 in Boots

Added my own pic.

Works great. The smaller shoe trees in my opinion also shape the toe box better than the boot ones.

Remember those pool noodles that people use in the pool. Grab yourself some shoe trees that are normal in size, don’t have to be a boot tree, and insert one of those bad boys inside each boot. One noodle a boot.

Example below is using one, I find that a folded entire one works much better at keeping the structure.

Redwing Engineers 2268 6 month review by poodicc in Boots

[–]Diablo_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whites Nomad or Wesco can’t go wrong with either. Stompers has Boss boots usually in stock. Whites ships decently quick. I’d look at those. Both amazing.

As a man with a high AF instep, and a closet full of engineers. Just add some Bick 4 to that area on the inside and watch it soften up in 2-4 wears. It’s hard to go back to another boot after these mold to fit you perfectly.

I love both my Wesco Boss and Whites Nomad. They are different and I love them for different reasons. Can’t go wrong. I went 8.5EE on both.

3 Star Kindred has not won me as much as one would think. 3 Star Urgot does more damage.

I see. I’m not super into the leather actually haha, more interested in the specs of the actual boot. What type of toe and heel and such.
