I know I missed posting the boots of my week from July 27 – August 2. Sorry, I was BWB. (Busy while booted.) Here are the boots that I wore each day during the week of August 3 to 9:

Difference Between Firefighter Boots and Wildland Firefighter Boots
Ahhh… how one word makes a huge difference in boot design and use.
So what is the difference between “firefighter boots” and “wildland firefighter boots”, also known as “fire boots” or by the names applied to the boots by their respective manufacturers, such as “Firestormer” (Wesco) and “Smokejumpers” (White’s Boots).
More after the jump…

Boot Preferences
I have frequently said on this blog that guys should wear the “right boot for the right application.” For example, smooth leather-soled cowboy boots are not a good choice to wear when operating a motorcycle.
Muddy work boots don’t go well with a suit in church. Tall motorcycle patrol boots look best with breeches tucked into them. Lug-soled boots for motorcycling. Dressy cowboy boots with dress clothes in an office.
However, this blog post will discuss my feelings and observations about different styles of boots and features. I definitely have my own opinions. What are they?

Boots on a Day with Snow and Business Meetings
Today, February 26, there is snow in the forecast. In fact, it was falling as I drove in to work.
Having several top-level meetings today, as well as having to drive to an airport this afternoon to pick up a professional colleague, then drive him into the city to his hotel and have a business dinner, I thought carefully about what boots to wear that would fit today’s dress requirements.
The boots had to …

Dual Duty Boots
Being a guy, I try to minimize inconvenience while doing double-duty.
These days, I have to dress for work — nice slacks, dress shirt, and occasionally even a necktie when I have meetings with the boss’ boss’ boss, which lately tends to be several times a week.
I also have a legion of senior pals who I look after by stopping by their homes on my way home from work to do random odd jobs and minor home repairs which sometimes involve working in dirty situations (basements, under cabinets, and crawl spaces.)
Since I do not bring a change of clothes to work with me (being a guy who doesn’t use a gym, I have no reason to bring a gym bag), I find other ways to handle the situation of wearing suitable boots to wear in my office while also doing double-duty as acceptable work boots for my after-work chores. How am I booted?

The Week’s Boots
This is a recap of what boots I wore during the past week, including “boots at work.” That is, for labor I did last weekend, as well as what I wore to my office. That’s me — always booted. I changed boots at least once each day, sometimes more often depending on what I am doing, where I am going, and what form of transportation I will be using. Follow along.
