I wear my favorite pair of boots in the whole world everyday. They are cheap-o wall-mart brand boots(the workload Cam-2) that cost $30 Canadian. Now before you have an anyerism, let me first say that budget is a huge concern to me (being a student with no fiscal support) and second, I have not found a way yet to kill these boots. I've always worn low profile, subtle boots since I was a kid and have a knack for seperating sole from shoe, toe from tip and lace from ring. The first time I bought this pair was as an emergancy stop gap, looking for the cheapest boot posible and they just stuck. I buy a pair a year because only because i start to wear out the treads way before anything strats to tear and I don't fancy slipping my way through a Canadian winter. Im sure there are better boots availible, but the cost to performance on these are very high.

BTW, Im not trying to sell boots for walmart or anything, in fact I would encourage people to support small and local stores than to shop at a monolithic monopoly machine. They just happen to reliably carry my fav pair of boots.
