Boots of the Past Week
Boots last week, yesterday, today, tomorrow… what’s on my feet.
My week last week continued as it usually does… work, caregiving at home and with my senior pals, building “that big thing for the kitchen,” and doctor’s visits and a biker’s meeting… same old same old. Here is how I was booted this past week:

Boots of the Past Week
A mid-June week in the Northern Hemisphere, with our first “heat wave” (albeit 2.5 days), and the HHH has returned to the Worshinun arear (pronounced air-eee-ur). Gotta get the local vernacular right, right cheer in Worshinun. (If you’re not sure what I’m saying, go ax a local.)
I wore an average number of pairs of boots this week…

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?

No Thousand Miles in Wolverine Boots
I wrote a post on this blog on December 10, 2013, comparing Wolverine “1,000 Mile” Stockton Engineer Boots with White’s Nomad engineer boots. My opinion of the Wolverine boots was reinforced today when I wore those boots on a day packed with errands. I’m not sure why I picked those boots from all that I have, but I did.
What do I say now about Wolverine boots?

Function vs. Fashion Engineer Boots
I wear engineer boots — the kind with a round toe, single strap and buckle across the instep, and a buckle top closure — regularly. I like the classic design of these boots, as well as their rugged durability. For someone like me — a honest-to-goodness biker — having functional footwear is important for my safety, comfort, and ease of handling my heavyweight motorcycle.
Someone wrote to me about two months ago to ask if I had seen the Wolverine 1000 Mile lineup, which includes short (10 inch/25cm) engineer “Stockton” (model) boots. He wanted to know my opinion. Since I did not own a pair of those boots, I…

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.
