I have taken to wearing boots most of the time I'm outdoors. I recently bought a pair of Cabela's "Gentleman's Upland Hunting Boots," at their store in PA (I have given up on buying boots from catalogs; I need to actually try them on before buying). The Cabela's are not just the most comfortable boots I've ever worn - they're the most comfortable shoe of any kind. Walking around work with all the other bureaucrats and minor functionaries tends to draw funny looks in a suit and hunting boots, so I keep street shoes at the office.

P.S. - This is my 1st post. Thanx to Mr. Ritter and company for maintaining this forum
