I was a grade-checker when I worked, always on my feet up & down slopes etc. Ultimately, I ended up wearing "Hi-Tec" brand high-top hiking boots from "Big-5" sporting stores. Always waterproof, & two pairs at a time. Took 'em off at lunch & put on second pair after. Prevoiusly, the with work/jump/jungle/combat boots, feet allus hurt at the end of the day.
The hikers made all the difference in the world. IMO, the "Hi-Tec" brand is the best low priced boot of 'em all.
