75% of the time I'm in flip flops.
Outdoors I'm wearing L.L.Bean Boots.
I have two pair of leather dress shoes
for the rare times I get dressed up, not
in over five years now. Living in farm country L.L.Bean boots are
considered over dressed by many. I have two pair the same, one I've
been wearing for over 20 years, the other still brand new.

I primarily wear these, can't wear them out:
