Currently, I just wear hiking boots as they provide some ankle protection. However, I plan on getting a pair of Sidis in the near future.

I wear surplus paratrooper boots—all leather with a zipper along the side, about 10" tall. with sno-seal they keep my feet dry, and I wear them all day at work. I hate having to carry an extra pair of shoes, and I hate wearing things I can't wear all day.

All Sidi all the time. Once in a blue moon I might wear sneaks if I go to the gas station across the street, but when I go to work I bring boots and keep shoes there.

I dont want to wear out my race boots, and they're a little too colorful for work hehe.
I wear these:

They are pretty comfortable to walk around in and they look pretty normal with pants.
They're A* Ridgewater boots.
