What boots do you use?

Well, 5 flat toes.

Mine are leather, go to the knee, they have about a 2 inch heel on them and go with every outfit I have. I love them

We can't picture what they might look like. You better post a picture... preferrably wearing something short and made of leather... Actually, I just figured out how to use the Smilies and wanted to try them out. :unsure: B) :wacko: h34r: :blush: h34r: :excl: :sad: :wub: :beerchug:

Design student researching EMT footwear

hey people, my name is jim, and im an Industrial design student at Western Michigan University currently researching EMT and RN footwear. If you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to email me at jim.torrey@WiDSA.com

I'm looking for suggestions pertaining to:
lacing
fit
materials
tread
comfort
etc.
etc.

we are currently exploring ideas such as removable outsoles for comfort during down times, materials that can alert wearers of hazardous materials, and fast lacing and entry options, to help you men and women get into your boots faster!

thanks for the input! even if you know of research or websites that may be helpfull, that would be great!

My suggestion is something that is comfortable (I like soft leather), easy to decon, ankle support to prevent injury, zippers on the side for easy on and off (plus on downtime keep zippers down for added comfort)... I especially like ankle support, I rolled my ankle (right side) 6-7 times, not fun
