My next pair were combat boots. My Uncle Sam gave me. The Army makes sure your feet knees and back are next to useless by the time your done.. Went back to Redwing when my ETS came. ..

I could see possibly racking up 5 and under. 10 is just inaccurate, IMO.

I wear a pair of them for work. A good pair of insoles will do the trick. If you want a really good one you would have to do some research on them.
