Rule 8, from my podiatrist: Buy 2, one for today, one for tomorrow. Let them air out and decompress every other day. Better on your footwear, better for your feet. The cedar trees can work, in a pinch, but it wasn't suggested. Rule 9, from the same guy: They should fit well right from the box. Don't trust to breaking then in, you'd be more apt to break your foot. I've only had one pair of boots that I bought that seemed to fit at the store, but then absolutely did not. I needed a good pair of steel toed boots for a new job. Went to a local specialty store, bought them, and went on my way. About 4 hours into my first shift my feet were cramping. After 8 I could barely walk. I was damn lucky that they weren't running 12-hour shifts. After a couple of days of that I went to Walmart and got a cheap pair just to get out of those torture devices. Damn near 3 days pay down the drain. I wish I could remember the brand, so I could flame them online, but this was 20 years ago.

If the leather gets dry then you need to condition often to work up the moisture by conditioning a couple of times over and over but if it's already conditioned then I would say once every 3-6 months depending on usage.

No not at all. For starters, Goretex is made from ePTFE. If that sounds familiar, that's because it's basically a stretched out version of Teflon. The problem with ePTFE is that it leeches forever chemicals into the water supply. So Goretex is super harmful for... Literally everything with a pulse. Oh and btw Gore knew all along that their material was harmful for the environment but continued to use it because they had exclusive patent rights up until about 1997. Gore should never have been granted the patent since he didn't invent the material but rather discovered it by accident. But then on top of that Goretex loses it's water resistance after a few years of use. By contrast, a good quality leather boot will last you a lifetime if you take care of them properly.

Agree to disagree on the waterproof boots. When you have to work outside in some of the worst weather conditions possible, waterproofing like Gore Tex is the difference between being cold and crabby about it, and getting sick, potentially injured, or even frostbite/hypothermia. Some people have to work when it’s a -40F windchill, or in freezing rain, or standing for hours ankle deep in cold water in the bottom of a 8’ deep muddy hole, or worse. Waterproof boots are just as important as wool socks in winter, moisture wicking base layers, a good rain suit, and staying hydrated.

If you're working with a lot of water or in a Dusty environment I would recommend conditioning your boots whenever they feel quite dry which is oftentimes less than every 6 to 12 months I'd say every month to 3 months if you were actually wearing your boots in an environment that is slightly more harsh

If you have ever worked in leather boots you know that you need to condition them fairly often (once a month to every 3 months). 6-12 months won't cut it. Also don't water proof?? Thats insane "water resistent" is useles in even moderately wet conditions, and forget it if there is rain.

As someone who has hiked very long distance I can say for certain that I will never buy water proof boots. Reason being that water proof boots simply dont dry out; if you have a good pair of wool socks then moisture/an ocean in your shoe doesnt matter nearly as much. I always found that the guys with non-waterproof boots ended up the most happy even after absolute downpours and hiking through rivers. The only time water proof boots are good is when you buy full duck boots for if your in a marsh or shallow river for fishing.

They seem to wear out after 400 miles or so which isn't very long tbh.
