Calling all SHOE owners

Absolutally!, nothing like a good pair of "saftey" thongs. I prefer to drive bare foot (as that's how I learnt on the farm) and if the sand is hot, there's always a pair of thongs.

In fact I wear thongs for pretty much everything, angle grinding, welding, mowing the lawn, whipper snipping, electrical work. The only thing to be aware of though is it still hurts when your shooing a bee away while whipper snipping and you give your feet a gooden with the bugger.! LOL

I've got a mate who's insisting he's going to make a pair of thongs for me at work that have steel caps! ;-)

Shoo them away with the whipper snipper, not your (soon to be) bloody feet.

Your mate could be on to a big seller :))))

na, your mate is well behind us over here in vic, best use for old blunnie safety boots is to cut em down to slip on "slippers" , awesome for ducking out for firewood etc, around the house.

I can vouch for the stylishness of your gumbies....

I'm a gumbies man too, ex dairy farmer in nz, reckon I could run the Sydney Melb too in them, wife reckons thats why I dance funny.....

Here is a picture of me with my slides.

Glenno,

For work building I use red backs out last blundstones by about a year.

All the best

eric , mate give steel blues a go, you wont ever go back, best damn steel cap boots by a mile, we wear em for 10-12 hrs straight on tarmac and concrete and no sore or hot burning feet :-)))

They even come with a comfort guarantee

PS - I drive in a pair of elastic-sided John Bull boots. Good comfort and great grip.

G'day Chrispy,

Not sure about the bare foot or thongs thing and the law but when on Fraser Island you'd be hard pressed to find people wearing footware and the local boys don't seem to book anyone for doing this.

Kind regards

Hey Beatit :)

Yup - you'd be right there.

There's the "letter of the law"... and there's the "real" world. At least there are still places to go that the law doesn't get in the way all the time.....

Last time I was on Fraser I wore boots - but then again I always do. They look pretty funny in a swimming costume ;)

A bit like my brother in law, lives on the farm. He looks totally uncomfortable out of his boots - always wears them. Has lilly white feet when the socks come off and would get burt to crisp if they saw sunlight.

Kind regards

LOL!!!!!! That's EXACTLY like me! HAHA!!!! I wear mine on our property - and at home too. I won't take them off unless I'm in the shower.

What's sunlight?

Must make a mess of the sheets come bedtime:o))))

Nah - just hang 'em out the end!

I remember an ad in Track and Trail in early 80s which was a pi$$ take on recycling tires.. they were cutting up knobby tires and using them!

I have a vauge memory of,I think they were thongs made out of old tyre tread..maybee mid seventy's...but definatly no laces to seen.!

I think they stuck them onto bases of old cheapy trucky style thongs.. but yea sounds it....

I think they were called treads. You wore them when you weren't wearing your platforms and they went well with the Miller shirt, the Connie cardigan, the flares and the Starsky jacket.

I prefer Wicked Weasel thongs, they are about shoe lace consistency.

how many psi?

but do you use Stauns?

Yeah,but do we go the broad chunky type nike or would the cheese cutter variety be better.And incase we puncture one or both of our nikes do we plug the hole with lace?.

What ever do you mean :)~

They also call them flip/flops

And keep a closer eye on the fuel situation, eh Davoe :)))) You were obviously distracted chasing lizards at the time.

Might have to do a test on these Willem against other shoes..

The ones I got are 'lastic-side work boots.. (no steel caps on mine)...
Been wearin' 'em ALL DAY, EVERY DAY for about 18 months, & hardly a mark on 'em, & the best bit is that they're MADE IN AUSTRALIA (that's what's moulded into the sole, anyway:-))
Ya can get 'em in suede as well, if that's yer fancy....

You're an evil eeviiiiiil man Truckster.

your a cheeky bugger,the lace got the boot but you brought it back withthe shoes...I will have 1 t shirt with with the great lace post 2005..and the resurection..ever so sly of the great shoe post 2005..thanks.
