    The ones on the far left and far right (boots) are Cole Haan. They are definitely my favorites. The others (left to right) are Tommy Bahamas, Sperry, and Ecco.

    Hey, to each their own. If you don't need them don't get them. My wife likes to get dressed up and go out so I have to fit the part. And, honestly, out of all of my shoes I think 2 were purchased new. The rest are Garage sale or Goodwill.

    Speeking of going out, I thought I would share this one of last weekend:

    I know what you mean. The snow hasn't been too great in a lot of areas. We go to Tamarack, ID every year for winter and sometimes for summer.

    Tamarack is a great area my girl grew up in that area and we may end up with a house in that area as a vacation home since she has so much family up north.

    The snow here can be good but I hate it when it freezes over night and then is just mush that clogs up the tread and you can't go anywhere :mad:

    Thanks! Yeah the Olukais are only good for for a little water. I love mine. Been wearing them for 2 years now - time for another pair.

    I've never ran them but I wouldn't say they are all that great seeing how as I've never had an issue with my KM2's or my MTR's

    Eventually I will spray it all with plastidip and use these as the stencils to make this (photoshopped):

    That is looking good,
    As for the Toyo Mt I have ran that tire for the past 10 years and never had a problem with build up in them, and we run in a lot of snow and mud
    I run 285/70/17 on all my rigs F-150, Dodge 2500 and my new tacoma

    I have been running them on my last 2 trucks and love them. Its just that kind of snow that melts, then freezes. It doesn't clog it completely but more so that you can't go through very much.. Through powder and newer snow the tires are phenomenal
