Nokian boots (like the Naali, Tuura, Kaira and Eurologger) have removable felt liners and you can just buy a second pair of liners for them to let them dry out. You can theoretically stick a less rigid skiboot liner in there if it's the right size and you really want to (such as for a pair of light plastic touring boots), but if it's too rigid or thick (like a heat deformable liner), then you can't really cram it down the shaft. You're ultimately probably better off just sticking to the standard liners.

I've been wearing heeled boots with a vibram sole all winter and my calves have actually shrunk because I barely use them when walking.
(I've also been too busy to walk asmuch as I like, it's not just this heels.)

It's not a fetish, well it is, but what is the point of calf-high rubber boots? They are never tall enough to do anything more than stand still in 4 inches of water. If you walk around with any speed at all the water splashes up and gets in the boot.

The sole is thicker on taylors than "barefoot" shoes, never used vans; the shape of normal footwear does not allow for natural foot posture.

I don't really want to spend another $120 on more shoes when I have so many. I plan to walk in the state park mostly on the asphalt, but maybe on the trails a bit. I figure they're going to get dirty.
Maybe sometime cheaper? Or is it worth it?

Try looking at "barefoot" chinese trail shoes on amazon first. Also consider such shoes need a transition period if you've always used normal ones.
My speculation is the durability of the ones you posted won't be significantly better.

Most still have pretty slick soles though, really looking for something with more traction and was hoping somebody might have experience with specific models or whatever. I was thinking some of the western work boots out there look like they could be good, and I could use a pair for actual work anyway, but they might also be too heavy.

He was also wealthy for the era and owned a pure solid cast copper axe. Which was not taken, so the murder was likely one of passion or self defense, not motivated by banditry.

I bought a similar pair last november and I love them. Hiking, hunting, walking to the grocery store, rain, mud, snow...pretty much wear them everywhere and they continue to get more comfortable after every outing. They also look cool after they get a nice patina going, especially after a good bushwhack through the forest. Just wash and condition them once every few months and they'll last forever too, especially if you resole them.

It's sad that our culture of consumer addicts thinks you need to buy a new pair of boots every year or two. They'll never know the heaven that is a well broken in traditional leather boot.

Lots of people seem to dislike mink oil because it significantly darkens the leather, but for my boots it just restores them to the original colour. It's also a great conditioner with decent water resistance. I've never gotten a soaker in these boots.

Clarks Goretex collab active air line just werks. Leather, waterproof, autistically straddling the line between formal/outdoors. My current pair is a black version of picrel, about 6 years old, very minimal wear despite mostly daily use.

I really don't understand why this type of shoe has gone out of style. At this point mine are basically leather socks, not far from barefoot shoes. I suspect I will be quite sad when they finally kick the can.
