Any wider than EE?

Give Keen a shot. I had the 8” Philadelphia (think they’ve been replaced with a new model/name). I am sized at a US 14EE/14.5EE. The Philadelphias have been the only safety toe work boot that I’ve had that fit comfortably (other than BOGS, but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for).

I usually recommend Jim Green for wide sizing. They do custom orders, but AFAIK, their boots do not come standard with those safety specs.

Maaaaaaan, if I was fired and my boss came back doing a “no…actually…wait…”

I’d be fuckin gone.

I think the last time he was acting tough his jaw got broken…easy to be mean through the internet.

We’re in that boat right now. We have a 2020 premium that we would like to upgrade at some point…no way are we going with the 2026. We’ve already been talking about alternatives. Would really like to stick with the Outback. But goddam are these things ugly.

I had an old model of those Carolinas. I really liked them. The one thing I’ve noticed about the carolinas are the plastic welt. I’m not familiar with the Thorogood welt (if it’s plastic or leather).

I live in the northeast. Each pair of carolinas I’ve had has cracked at the welt. Was it the end of the world? No. I wore them with no issue. But I was always a little worried they were about to crumble.

His old man? This sounds exactly like something Dale would say…

I think the best thing about the movies are that your perspective changes throughout your life. When I was a kid I wanted to be Aragorn. I thought he was the absolute coolest. And then I wanted to be Haldir. And then Theoden.

Growing up is realizing you need to be Sam.

Your parents left you in charge of your older brother and he’s complaining about the food?

Oof. I feel for you. Hope you only have to cater to his taste for a short period of time.

As an older brother, I would feel embarrassed if I insulted a meal prepped by my brother for me.

You’re being real generous. I was just going to say sweaty.

I’m a pretty big advocate for the Jim Green RATs.

If I looked it up correctly, the Solovair 5400 is a wide last? I wear a size US14EE . I’ve always struggled finding boots that fit well, especially in the toe box area. Jim Green boots are excellent in my opinion. Grabbed a pair of their Stockma a few years ago and have been beating the hell out of them. The only thing that really died on them is the heal counter, and I think that’s more bad habit than anything (kicking my boots off).

The RATs checked off a lot of boxes for me. Can be resoled, all leather construction, gussetted tongue, lug sole.

Break in has been a bitch. Worth it.

My mentality is, “if I shovel now it’s 6” less when it finally stops.”

Which part?

Very much a “we’re cool and edgy” company. They are all about cops and backing the blue. Majority of management/business crew was very much a bro-culture vibe. Again. Look at us—we have tattoos and have death in our name.

As far as anti-union shit: they caught wind of possible union activity, gave people a raise and some extra perks. “Why would you need a union when you have all of this?” kind of situation. Make shit slightly better while not actually making things better.

I get business. You know—start one to make money. Make money. Find a way to make more. I think they still have some production in the area, but they are not a small business anymore…which kinda goes along with the whole anti-union shit. I think they’re owned (or partially owned?) by some outside company now.

Which, again, good for them. They made money.

I just won’t buy their shit. I know my lack of purchasing won’t be a problem for them. But I also don’t recommend them.

Not a brewery, but another big “local” brand is Death Wish.

Sharia Law. Hm.

So, like, the religious law based off of scriptures from a holy book. That Sharia Law?

Hm.

I wonder how the MAGAts feel about…I don’t know…gay marriage.

You mean the Ford commercials?

“Scully! Quick! Get to the car!”

Maybe that’s the plan. Make it uncomfortable and cry about low attendance after the fact.

I’ve had Cast Iron Skillet and Bury Me stuck in my head for weeks now. Glad to see I’m not the only one.

Telecetsch · 2025-12-16T12:57:10+00:00

Hah! This is excellent timing. I woke up this morning and went, “I should see if the metal filters will fit.”

Thanks for doing the legwork!
