    Other Shop footwear - what's on your feet?

    These. Plus safety glasses & hearing protection - when I am working with / on anything. The cut in the leather on the right boot is from a 60” commercial mover deck coming out of its in-transport position onto the floor a little quicker than anticipated… I have been known to walk in the shop...
