I was going to ask what is best for the ice/snow... Ariat Ropers?

Anything that's water proof with some good grip I suppose. I've already mentioned the Rockports but ECCO also has some nice shoes that are water proof. If you search ECCO GTX, you'll find some.

Almost 2 years and my red wings are still going strong. I'll probably send them off next summer to be resoled but so far so good. I'm also considering a pair of boots from Frye. Anyone ever try any of theirs?

This is pretty much how I picture airline pilots talking about any clothing.

I love my Frye boots, I have never had any for uniform wear, but all my Fryes have lasted forever, wear well, comfortably, and are made in New York.

What's not to love?

I don't know what I just watched... But I liked it.

Speaking of shoes:

I think I should be able to send you a bill for my time. (I accept all forms of alcohol) I kept waiting for it to get better...

The best is getting the 4th stripe, so you dont have to worry about the ice and snow anymore...

Kind of late to the party.

Rockport essential detail.
Waterproof, airport friendly, comfortable, quality for all under $100.

I like those. Not a bad price either. Is it a big difference from the boot and a plain shoe? The ankle boot isn't very comfortable for me over long periods of time.

Yea. You won't feel any pressure points or uncomfortable pinching from the angle of this shoe.

I have a pair of these Blondo boots. Most comfortable thing I have ever worn. There are quite a few pilots up here wearing them. They aren't slick on ice, and they zip up on the side making them easy to get on and off.

Airport friendly? I'd like to find a pair of nice Roper style winter boots. I love my Justins, but a little thin for the next few months.

I usually just take them off, so not sure if they set off the metal detector

Are cowboy boots that great on ice/snow?

 

[ClarkGriswold]

I hear boots are great for any occasion. Uniform, riding horses, job fairs...very universal.

Wives in Gig love them too...something about 'real men'

Anything with a straight leather sole is treacherous in ice or snow. Ariats are rubber and as good as anything else for grip and better than shoes if walking through snow any deeper than a couple inches.

Not sure what some of you have against boots. I have dress shoes, as well as boots (Ariat Roper), they look classy under the uniform pants, doesn't look like you're trying to show off boots, and they are comfortable and good for bad weather.
I have dress shoes to wear as well, depending on the occasion.

Rockport Toloni mids for me. They are working out well so far.

 

[tcco94]

I bought some Eccos mainly as my new dress shoe. Should work for training next month. Looking into Rockport for the shoe for winter but I might wait until I'm out of training on a line to buy those.

Keep the suggestions coming!
