Exercise: walking boots

Standard boots tend to disintegrate on me.  The heels in particular seem to collapse after a hundred miles or so (about a months wear).

There's a branch of GO nearby. I popped in to see what they could offer. Much the same, or much more costly.  Not being confident that any available pair would last 1,000+ miles, I left.  Only to find our local Asda selling good ol' fashioned steel toecap workboots for £16.

Once upon a time, all too long ago, I worked full-time as a bar-cellarman in our then local. Steelies was all I wore for 4+ years.

Having just visited my dad, I'm pleased to say they are still as comfortable as they were then. And, as they have solid heels rather than fancy cushioned ones, there's a good chance they will last a reasonable distance.
