Feet. 😆
Being retired and gimpy at the moment I spend most days in the house barefoot. When I must wear shoes I have an issue. Being dirt poor growing up we usually got one pair of shoes to wear the entire year. Summers were spent barefoot for the most part unless we working in the hay, garden or fixing fence.
Now that I have the means to do so I have shoes for every day of the month and then some. So, depending on purpose for trips outside I have shoes to fit the need. These are a few of them. I have more scattered around, a few pairs in the camper still to be unpacked, a few in the mud room, a few on the shoe rack near the back door, a few in the laundry room, etc.
Ariat composite toes.
Work in a major data center, and go through metal detectors to get on and off the data floor, multiple times a day.
Not only for work, but for all the "heading to town" functions.

Summer of 2020, out mending fence in the back 40.
Showed my daughters the reason you should wear footwear when mending fence...
Thanks for that.

crocs everyday around the house. whatever is suitable for the job at hand everything from Biloxi Reebox to leather work boots to topsiders.
Like Susie one pair start of the school year that had to last until next school start
As for me Newbalance and crocks majority of time around the house
And a bit embarrassing I would guess I have twenty pair at least of boots and shoes . Some I have never worn there still nib All varations I think just compsating for when I was kid
Went from topsiders to xtratuf with the snow for around the yard.
Steel toed Keens for outdoor work…
Yup, a pair of shoes & a pair of sneakers to start the school year & they had to last. Now it's mostly just sneakers.
A pair of Skechers.....I go though a pair every 4 or 5 months due to my normal workout which includes about 5 miles a day walking. Various boot choices depending if I am working, hunting or fishing...
I have more shoes and boots than my wife, and that's saying a lot.
On-Duty:
Off-Duty:
Merrill sneakers. Merrill is the best quality sneakers I have ever owned.
Kind of leaning toward sketchers lately for around the house and casual. Hi-tech hikers at work. Old worn out tennis shoes of any brand for yard work.
Susie looks to be the Imelda Marcos of Missouri! 😁
Whites if it's not raining, rubber boots if it is or Romeos
Wolverine Durashock 3122 for the last six or eight pair. Most comfortable shoe Ive come across. When not wearing them I go with Sketchers.
I never wear any kind of footwear, unless at work, or "going to town" functions.
Unless, of course, it's winter.
Do chores barefoot, over 3/4 of the year.
Mend fence, mow, and other outside activities most of the time.
I even have a pair of Matterhorns. So, this grandma does wear combat boots.
Mostly athletic type shoes , assics, new balance etc .Summertime sees me in a pair of reef flip flops .Till arthritis and planters facitis reared its ugly head it was always a good quality pair of cowboy boots ,usually Justin's
Bauer 7000s - custom insoles
Sketcher's light weight slip on shoes always unless I am doing outside winter stuff like snowblowing or hunting. Then I wear a pair of Sorel's with liners.
After I had my lower back supplemented with a titanium cage bolted in like an erector set, I have had to more or less give up the struggles with hard to put on tie shoes and boots. Putting on those Sorel's is almost a public ticket worthy event to see and a need I really procrastinate as much as possible! I did buy them a whole size larger but still a PITA!

I used to wear New Balance shoes exclusively, they were the only shoes that were wide enough to fit me. Then I bought a pair of Sketcher sandals. They were the most comfortable footwear I ever wore. I now have 6 pairs of different Sketchers. I absolutely love them.

I don't understand those who choose bare feet...........that's just nasty. But I guess if you want 3/8" callouses and black-bottom feet...........ya'll go right on ahead.
OR
😆 I had to check my feet.
Sketchers
I wear Sketchers most of the time. They are very comfortable.
I have only seen @Ricci.Wright one time without flip flops on😁 He had on some brand of running shoes but every other time I have been to his shop he had on flip flops, he can do that in Wilmington NC.
That's a damned talented welder that created that sneaker.
My fishin shoes.
Mostly Skechers. Some slip-on dress shoes when the occasion calls for it. L. L. Bean hunting boots.
Propet cliff walkers;
Or New Balance if the weather is nice. Because of the recommendations on here and from a few friends I might try a pair of Sketchers next time. Bob
Just bought my first pair of Skechers...very comfortable...Flipflops and Merrell boots...

I wanna know why those nails ain’t bent over after having been driven? Yikes!
I learned something new while looking for photos of horseshoes.
They make glue on rubber horseshoes ! Kinda like Vibram lug soles for your horse ! They make clip-on shoes too.
Learn something new, everyday ! 😉
@Nanuq907 I think we picture you more in these.
Hah!! Look at those cute little things!! These are mine.
The horseshoer will take care of that shortly. Cutting the nails, curling them over into a groove is one of the last steps.

Yep @Alpine the picture shows he's still in the process of adding the nails...
