Close enough boots, but comfortable

Post by Justin »

I've seen plenty of posts concerning close enough boots, and the possibilities out there. But ive not seen, and would be interested to know, what people think about the comfortability of such shoes. As you can see from my other post, my first experience with Alden's has been a great one- by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I'm looking for other similar boots that are primarily comfortable and durable first of all, but secondarily look screen accurate to a reasonable degree. I'd definitely sacrifice SA for comfortability. Right now, Wolverine 1000 mile boots look like the best combo of comfortable and screen accurate. Thoughts?

Personally, I like my Todd's boots that I bought a few years ago. I don't use them for work, but I like them for kicking around town. My understanding is that he has a new run now that is higher quality.

HANDS DOWN the Timberland "Earthsaver" Chukkas. They are the most comfortable piece of footwear I've ever owned. I dont have pics but I know of a gentleman that does...

Hi, just bought the Timberland 'earth keepers'. They are by far the most comfortable pair of boots i've owned,straight out of the box.No 'breaking in' required-seriously they feel like your wearing sports shoes ! .Plus they look good too. :D
