Winter biots

[JackBurton]

Nice to see someone is finally researching this: http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/ne...ter-boots-are-too-slippery&pubdate=2016-11-26

I've spent a lot of time in the north and I hate boot manufacturers that don't consider how hard and slippery their soles get when it's cold. I've been the grumpy old man for years. Sorrels are the worse. I started wearing the Sperry boots a year ago and am very happy.

Your opinion?

Thanks for the link. Interesting read.

Had to open the thread to see what a Winter biot was. LOL

Wondering when the guys from the winter tire thread will chime in to tell us there's no difference, they've never needed winter boots, and have never had a problem.

I take an elevator downstairs in the condo, get in my car, drive to work, park underground, get out, take elevator up to office. As I am not a letter carrier or outside construction worker I could care less if there was a difference (which I don't believe there is), I never needed boots for my job and I have never had a problem. (other than with SP's who use those condoms where the rubber is as thick as the sole on Sorel boots.)

There you go Mr Bret.

Not sure I'd want to live such a sheltered life.
I actually enjoy being outdoors all year round.
Better traction underfoot and on my car is important to me.

Not all of us are able to get around in a spaceship.

Since you were wondering, here I am and I don't wear boots in the winter, just my open toe sandals. No need for boots and I have never slipped or fallen. lol.
I just had to. :biggrin-new:
