I typically use boots for dress and then eventually turn them into every day boots so I prefer boots that look nicer than just a work boot. The work boots I currently have looked pretty decent from the get go but a steel toed ones and I get weary dragging them around when doing a lot of walking--and I often do.
When I was a letter carrier for the USPS I tried a pair of Rocky brand shoes because they were light in weight. I never went back to the heavier shoes of other brands. When walking 9 miles a day you can tell a tremendous difference in weight/comfort/ease of walking.

My wife chews me out because I am so adamently against asthetics,lol, but I can understand a good fit, and a person's need, or actually want for a lighter boot.
thanks for the info
