(Viewed 495 times) Fred Wesley  Location: Toronto Gender: Male  |  Economic Boot/Shoe choice for UE? < on 5/24/2006 3:51 AM >   Well? I'm looking for some sort of comfortable, but safe boot or shoe. Something that I could easily bike in but also explore in. I am in Toronto if that matters. I was thinking of checking out MEC, but I've heard they can be pretty expensive. Anyone have any other tips?

A good pair of combat boots are great for protection, but many here are equally happy with some sneakers. Check the links and ask about specific posts you have read.

Bottom line you'll never know if ya like the boot untill you actually break a pair in and abuse the hell outa them.. Live to Serve, Serve to Live..
