Anybody hate cleated shoes as much as I do?

[FarmboyBill]

I hate shoes with molded cleats on the bottom. Cant go anywhere nowadays without haveing mud inbetween the cleats. I havnt seen smooth soled shoes in at least 30 yrs.

You evidently don't wear traditional cowboy boots.

if you hate them, why wear them?

..............Know what you mean , both pair of my Redwing steel toes have smooth soles ! My skechers have a smooth sole , the hikers have "treads" so I wear them too work and really "mudd up" the Guard Shack but will sweep it out when my shift is over . , fordy

I have a pair of boots that are smooth - slipped all over this winter first time it snowed. Now i'm wearing a pair that have "cleats" and at least I'm staying up right.

Wear slip on overshoes when it's muddy.

Wish I could find the old 2 buckle (rubbers) but none ive found fit my shoes, size 12. I cant even find the old 5 buckle overboots that size. I have a pair of rubber knee boots slip on. They get me by, but I hate to have to change from shoes to boots. I have extreme protrudeing ankle bones whidh inhibit me wearing cowboy boots, and they bother me in getting off the rubber knee boots I have now.

I take a bench grinder or angle grinder or die grinder to the edges of the cleats to bevel them. Mud is not as hard to get out after doing so.

FarmBoyBill,

A company by the name of Servus sells overshoes like you are describing. You might want to go to www dot servusproducts dot com. You can see their products and locate a retailer near you.

I have both 2 buckle and 4 buckle overshoes for my size 13 work boots. They work very well.

YES I DO!!!...............can't stand those types of boots (cleated, lug soled,....) I wear my slick soled buckaroo boots as much as I can easy on/off an easy to clean ............

If I don't have some tread on the soles of my boots or shoes, I spend
way to much time getting up off the Ground. I hate it when that happens! And, sometimes it Hurts!

The older I gets the more it happens and the worse it hurts. It also takes longer to get healed up & feeling better.
A couple of my old, comfortable boots have soles that are worn slick. But, I
love to wear them........it's just always chancy.
Yeah sometimes I wear treaded boots on, into the house & gets some mud on the floor.
But tread on my soles contributes to my health and well being.
So, I'd rather have them.
