>>1567165>>1567113>>1567479I literally use my desert boots so I don't fuck up my civvie work boots. Change the insoles, wear them in properly, and they do fine for years on years.
There is mallcop tryhard, but cranky veterans get even tryhardier. Nobody really gives a shit so long as you're not buying purple hearts at the swap meet.
More directly on topic, I do 12 miles daily in a pair of Adidas tacticals for USPS. The soles are a little soft, but otherwise brilliant boots. They discontinued the midrise pair, though, so maybe try their regular hikers too.
