What boots or shoes do you wear when wheeling?

[RoLyMa27]

As I get closer to my planned trip out west, I realized I need something to wear to protect my feet. What do you wear? I found some Columbia hiking shoes on amazon. Would this be okay ?

Merrell hiking boots for off-roading. Wolverine slip-on boots for working. Oofos slides, Skechers slip-on or Hoka Clifton 9 for casual.

The only people who wear Crocs when wheeling are cocky very experienced wheelers OR total noobies. If the OP shows up in Crocs it will be very apparent you're a noobie!!

Wear comfortable light hiking boots.

Usually some form of Nike ACG—comfy, waterproof, versatile.

Lemsshoes.com . Take your pick, from boots to hiking shoes, to lightweight sneakers, to slipons.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

Not to be a smart ass, but whatever is on my feet… summertime flip flops, or sneakers, cooler weather, boots of some type, or sneakers.

Except for the late fall/winter months, I wear Goruck Jedburgh mid's when I'm not traveling for work. They are coyote canvas with drain holes. Too bad they don't make them anymore but I do have their black leather (three pairs for winter use) and these: https://www.goruck.com/products/macv-1-hi-speed?variant=42285318439012

The great thing is they require NO BREAK-IN which is a must for me and because they are canvas and have drain holes, I don't have to worry about soggy socks when I wade creeks. Additionally, they are light and offer a really soft footbed.

I live in the hi-desert and they are the best desert boots I have found and I have tried everything to include Israeli and US desert combat boots and after 5-years they are holding up great.

Yeah I mostly wore cowboy boots (or nothing) all my adult life until I retired and moved to beach town…now sandals all the time…life is good!

Keen Brixen waterproof slip ons and I always pack some Bogs muck boots. I like a sturdy sole for walking rocks, a reinforced toe, and good tread for slippery stuff. We gots us lots of moss and other slimy things here in the PNW.

I used to wear cowboy boots everyday for everything then I discovered light hikers, all the function with more comfort

I don't wear shoes specific to 4-wheeling; I choose my shoes specific to what I'll be walking on when I get out. I've worn anything from tennis shoes to hiking boots and have no trouble modulating the throttle or brake with either, though having a flexible sole is nicer.

Pro tip -- If you get called to the police station for an interview don't wear the same boots. It didn't work so well for Russel Williams.
