Sorel Pacs, issued as a safety item in Prudhoe Bay circa 1969, in the early days of building an oil field and infrastructure. 51 yrs old this year.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

You people have footwear older than me. I do have some Redhead BassPro pac-boots that are about 10 years old but it only snows during deer season here once every 3 years. LOL they look almost new

If it weren’t for old shoes I’d have to go barefoot.

Shoes? What is this you speak of?

Just handled them yesterday - cant seem to toss them. A pair of the very first Puma low-top soccer shoes imported to the US (German-made, I think). Our college soccer team in NY was outfitted with them in 1958. Nubby cleats built into the sole - no more screw-ins after that. Who knows how many contests? Played competitive soccer until into my 60s (age-group at the end) and only soccer shoes ever owned. They are really rough looking now. Yeah - time to toss them.

Also use a pair of all-leather - not insulated - lug sole hunting boots bought in Tucson at Bob's Bargain barn in 1971. Original leather laces, Can't see the brand any more - very good leather and stitching - no breakdown - and perfect for spring/fall hunts in the SW. Had to soak them up with that white shoe grease and/or sno-seal when we lived in wet or snow country - probably helped preserve them

I still have a pair of Rachle Montagnas that my father bought me in 1984. Now, they're stored in my Colorado mountain cabin for driving shovels. They're about 5 lbs each and pretty rigid.
