My Stihl work boots (used every day) have given up the ghost: the heel assembly has parted company with the sole. German manufactured. Their MD has got a fairly shirty email from me. 2 years old. German quality indeed. So I'm in the process of buying other safety footwear while those boots are sent back to Germany. Boots, shoes, or trainers? All can be had with composite protection - and so significantly lighter than their steel predecessors. It strikes me as a problem analogous to the one I faced while fell running up here. We'd sometimes get people pointing out that we weren't wearing boots (like good feel walkers should). I have run on the fells since I was eight, always worn fell shoes, and twisted an ankle just once in 50 years. No need for boots. Will, for our purposes, self-building, composite protected trainers or shoes do for us?
