I personally wear my Chippewa's in the shop, best darn work boot ever made. In the house and about town, I wear my Dansco's. I love these things, wear right through them. They are pricey, but worth it. I can even wear them to all but the most formal events. The work boot style colgs interest me though as I would like to try them and see how they work, and hey if the shod type wears out, pop them off and make a new pair.
