My favorite pair of shoes? My Danner Bull Run Moc Toe boots. I wear them everywhere. This particular pair is not waterproof or insulated, nonetheless I have worn them in 60 centimeter deep snow. They’ve have stood up to salt and slush with little to no care and cleaning. They’ve kept my feet cool in dry dusty summer heat and reasonably dry in the heavy spring rain.

I wear them to work where I traverse large sharp gravel; on my feet all day – every day. I’ve worn these boots while standing for hours on the concrete floor of a concert venue. This pair of boots has kept me on my feet for St. Vincent, Ashley Cooke, Deep Sea Diver and many more.

I’m not a man of wealth or means. I don’t have any “nice” shoes. I wear these Danner boots when out with friends for dinner and the occasional movie. I wear them to Sunday worship in the sanctuary and picnics out in the Churchyard.

These shoes have taken me everywhere. They are my favorite moc toe boots for work, worship and play.
