TR102 / Minimalist Training Boot

Best pair of minimal boot I've ever owned. OK the only pair I've owned, but I've worn them for a year working at Walmart garden center, wet with the garden hose every day, climbing on the shelves of course you're not supposed to climb on the shelves. Walking up and down hard cement linoleum whatever that stuff is. Long story short these are great boots and I'm going to buy a second pair. First pair was from boot barn. They had a size 11 in the store and I was just looking for work boots in general so I ordered 10.5R delivered to the store. I love zero drop anything and I walk around, barefoot as much as possible. I do have to wear shoes, these are great because they lace up quickly, and you don't actually need to lace them up if you just put your pant legs over them. They just slip on and off pretty easily. I do need to put an insert in there but that's just 20 bucks. Some guy in the comments said the weather is soft and I agree with that. They do tend to gouge easily, maybe made in china problem, but that's why I'm buying another pair so that I can wear these - believe it or not they can be a little dressy, BUT I disagree with putting a zipper in. Belleville, if you ever put zippers in these beauties. well. just don't do it.

Currently my favorite zero bootsshoes (i have the low top minimalist as well) I am an experienced zero user. The boot fits my purpose. What i am sad about is the leather is sooo soft. I have feet wider than a normal last however, the wide is too wide for me. The next pair i am going to order will be the normal last. A better quality leather would be nice. I got the deepest gouges in my boots on DAY 1. Also, please add a zipper. .

I've been wearing barefoot/zero-drop shoes for over a decade and found every boot option I tried when starting a new EMS career insanely uncomfortable. Luckily I found these boots and am sold for life. It's been over eighteen months of wearing these for 48 work hours a week and I'm just now buying a second pair due to some separation of soles on the sides. Tread is still in amazing condition, stitching completely intact. They do scuff a little more quickly than I hoped but I'm not exactly careful with them-- they are work shoes, after all. I've never had a blister or sore spot; there was no break-in period at all and were as comfortable straight out of the box as they are on my feet today. If they ever stop making this boot style I don't know what I'll do!
