Here's my question, which validates my point.
Are you going to buy whatever shoes others suggest, or are you going to buy whatever brand and pair feel best for you? Buying shoes is not the same as buying a $300 roller board or $900 headset. So why ask about a common, affordable, everyday item that everyone wears? In the end, you may end up with a cheap pair of slip-ons from Payless or decide the $150 Johnston & Murphy's are worth the investment. If you wear them and hate them after two weeks, try another pair. Everybody's feet and type of walking are different. Point is, you're asking about something that you WEAR on a daily basis. How are others going to know what shoe you should choose? The other flight equipment items that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars are worth asking about.

I have experienced this issue with my Ecco rubber sole too. The rubber suddenly “dissolved” while walking, leaving large chunks of rubber in a trail behind me. Rumor was Ecco experimented with new polymer but it failed miserably. Unfortunately I’ll never go back.

MidnightHauler sucks.

That’s all I have to add to this thread.
OP, good luck finding shoes! I had the same question. I’d love to buy some high quality shoes, but I keep hearing that they will get eaten up by the chemicals that are spilled when loading the chem trail jets.

You actually fly for a living or just sit at home posting stupid remarks?

It would be nice if someone came up with something to put over and under the shoes that would help from picking up chemicals when doing the walk around. Something that you could quickly put on and take off, and store away without being bulky. Seeing as the walk around is so brief, yet so punitive on shoes. Especially for those who like to wear nice shoes, which I understand does not encompass everyone and that’s okay, I respect everyone’s approach to life.

You’re looking for “overshoes.” Very common among the leather soled people out there.

I've worn Deerstags at work for more than fifteen years. The sole seems to wear out in about 1-1/2 to 2 years. However, they're inexpensive, provide good grip on very slick ramps, and look decent enough.

In fact, thanks for the reminder. Just ordered another pair.;)

It saddens me that this comment got no love. Maybe it's a cultural thing because I am from Oklahoma, but my Ariats are the last work shoe I will ever own.

I’m a huge fan of the Ariats with the composite shank as well.

Which style Deer Stags do you order? The different styles have many different soles for grip. They look pretty ideal (price wise and with a sole that grips) for a First Officer in the winter.

Agreed, however their only downside is the soles don't provide the best grip in snow and ice.

So I just read through the safety thread & it got me thinking about how beat up my work boots are. I work in an auto shop so besides safety toes the main thing is spill resistance. I prefer shoes for the light weight but wouldn't count boots out. I tried going to redwing when I bought the last pair but the few pairs I tried on didn't seem very comfortable & the salesman was a jerk so I went with the old fallback timberland pro. They're always comfortable & I get about a year out of them but they're really heavy & my feet hurt once they start wearing out. I'm looking for something light, comfortable & hopefully not too expensive.
