How many hours/miles do you have on your footwear?

I've been visiting this forum for a little over a year, and one of the more popular threads concerns the amount of miles on the 6.0 liter motor. So I'll go ahead and ask the question:

 

How many miles/hours (or years) have you put on your current footwear? And what kind of footwear is it?

 

I'll start. I have a standard issue pair of Army boots. It's been through a deployment, ruck marches, and walking back and forth from work. I estimate it has roughly 2,000 miles on them. I've also have the boots for roughly 3 years.

Only wear Rockport brand shoes. Best fitting shoe I have found for my feet. Generally get a couple of years out of a pair of walking shoes. Started wearing this brand about 25-30 years ago. I take a trip every couple of years to the outlet mall in Niagara Falls NY to update my supply of footwear.

Work boots (also military and steel toe) are only about 1 year old and currently an office worker so not much "mileage". Previous pair finally were laid to rest after three years and countless miles of service (deployments/working), wasn't office worker then.

Work boots (home use) I've for around 5 years, thousands of miles/hours. I use them for EVERYTHING, so they "look" to be in bad shape but actually they have been holding up great. Wish I could have a set for everyday job they've held up so well.

Sneakers - Several vacations/walks/general purpose for 3 years or so.

I get a lot of wear and tear out of all my footwear and usually are completely toast by time I give them up.

I rotate my Danner duty boots every day. I'll use two pair rotating every day for 12 months then get new ones. Usually wear them 12-14hrs a day. Probably have 50 pair or more in my closet.

2496 hours at least on my black Adidas sneakers for work, there is a slight blowout beginning on one.

I am on my feet all day non-stop and have had to learn to force myself to replace my footwear at least once a year if not 6 months. I was starting to have problems with my feet, knee's etc. If you don't sit down at all during the day they wear out faster than you realize. When I was younger it never bothered me. Once past 40 though you feel it more acutely.

I have about 3 years on my Chippewa 8" leather boots. They are the most comfortable footwear I own. Problem is, I don't own too many as I take a 12 EEEE (tough to find in any stores stock). The Chippewas are holding up pretty well. The outside & soles are great, but the lining is starting to wear out. I wear these 7 days a week, usually all day. Five days of that are 7:45AM til 6:00 PM at work.

    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
