You ask a lotta questions around here LOL !!! ...... however, they're all good and I hear you on the boot/shoe situation.

I don't know entirely what changes as one gets older, but put on the wrong kind of footwear and foot & leg problems are sure to follow. If I could ever find the right boot/shoe, waterproof, but breaths, lightweight and good fit, durable and good service life, just impossible to find.

Same thing here, filling water buckets and fooling with the hose, so you are sure to trash anything in short order not meant for that, muck boots are a great idea, but so many of them have no support, ( been duped into wasting money on ones that are worthless )then your feet sweat, socks get wet, hopefully the liner or pad comes out so you can dry it, clean it etc. On & on, there is no substitute for good footwear.

I've been dealing with leg fatigue, sore feet, can't keep em from sweating, much worse in the winter, once they get cold, they sweat like a cold water pipe does in high humidity, unless I'm running around and moving to keep the blood circulating. I would like to find the right combination of socks/footwear, it really is annoying and bothersome when you are trying to work. Then, most of what you buy, $100 & up does not last, then add in you need to maintain several pairs for different purposes to stay moderately comfortable. Cheap shoes are just a waste of money as I see it, you have to spend to get quality.

Another issue is carrying to much weight, I find that all those extra pounds has significant bearing on ones ability to be on their feet 8-10 hours a day, good idea to keep extra weight off for ones back and feet, none of us had these problems when we were young did we? LOL !
