Wore my $35 WalMart Brahma workboots to the three day carbine course.
Keep in mind these are the same boots I work in every weekend. These are the same boots I've worn to other shooting classes. They've always done well and never caused me money.
One little difference at this class.......water. Between rain and heavy dew my feet were wet the entire weekend. Holy sheep-dip. I have blisters in weird spots, a blood-blister where I get a heavy callous normally and my calves still ache.
Oh yea, the inner liner wore away so my upper toes rubbed against the steel toe. Sweet.
Long and short....I've always poo-pooed proper footwear. Now that my feet/lower legs are wrecked I am a believer.
Now looking at a pair of Merrill MOAB's.
