/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Whatever you do, don't cheap out on your feet. Pretty much anywhere that requires safety boots will give you a stipend. So use it, don't pocket it.

I've tried pretty much every brand of boot, and for my feet, it's Georgia Boot FLX's with composite toe. Couple those with some merino wool socks, and it's heaven.

The merino wool socks ain't cheap, the least you'll find them is about $12/pr, but they are worth every single penny. And always wear them, even in the summer. Wool socks in the summer? FUCK YES!

These are the boots I wear, and have been wearing for over 10 years now.

And these are my socks. I have about 8 pair.
