Toughest and Coolest Boots in the World
If you want really tough boots that are cool and fashionable as well then check out the Red Wing Beckman Style 9010 hiking boots. These boots are made by a company called Red Wing which also has its own web site. These are cool boots and worn by personalities like Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood. The serious macho male loves them – they are not so much for the trendy metrosexual male.
These are really rugged yet attractive boots. These are not ordinary sneakers or Doc Martins. They are made of handsome leather that also look great with a suit. They are ideal for men who are a bit brusque and butch and do not want to wear a dress shoe with a suit. However they also look fantastic with jeans.
These boots cost $270 but they are worth it. They are built to withstand very harsh hot or cold conditions. Constructed from thick leather, rubber and even a little bit of wood, they’ve been treated and sealed to keep the elements out and keep heat in. They keep out hail, snow, slush and other liquids as well.
However these are not the kind of boots that you can wear with thin socks. You must wear thick wool socks with them. There is almost no cushioning in the sole so when you first put them on they feel really stiff.
Breaking in these boots could be a challenge for some people. Most people need to get Scholl’s inserts or some other type of insert to make them feel comfortable.
Many people tell us that this is a hard boot to break in and you should expect sore foot arches and blisters. One tip for making them softer and therefore easier to walk in would be to apply ample amounts of boot oil.
This type of shoe, which comes in a rustic reddish brown color, only look better the more you wear them. They will, after a certain time, turn into the equivalent of your favorite old pair of jeans.
However don’t get any ideas that you can start dancing around in these. These are heavy boots. They weight almost two pounds. Don’t thing you can get away with running too fast in them. They are also noisy to walk in because they are so heavy.
