That’s quality manufacture right there and, if you make your living on your feet, a damned good investment. That’s an entire working life for less than $200 in 1980. And you’d very likely still have them today. Those boots, adjusted back to 1980’s dollars would be $79.16-$189.99. This is not “fancy livin” unless you’ve been paying zero attention to economics for the last 40 years (or historical economics if, like me, you’re not even 40 years old). This will literally fuck your entire body up over time and if you push far enough for long enough you won’t recover from it. It’s not a salesmanship or oneupsmanship thing. Go try on some Redwings or get a sizing done for another decent brand, I can give you a list if necessary, and I’ll send you a pair. I’ll give you my email and you can shoot me an address. If it’s truly an issue where you can’t afford it, which it sounds like it is, reply to this and let me know. I’ve seen people do this to themselves in the traded by cheaping out and hurting themselves. Or you won’t do the things you need to at that point because a single visit costs more than those decent boots and you’ll simply end up disabled at an early age and then you’re really screwed and at that point it’s for life because now you can’t work to make the money you need to get fixed up and all that remains is bankruptcy and government assistance. Even if you avoid surgery the rehab costs will eat you alive. What I do know, from personal experience, is that shitty footwear will cost you more than you can imagine.
I’m not in any way suggesting that I know fuck all about you.
