When I was a Marine Corps Drill Instructor in the mid 50' I had my "Boondocks" crape soled, as did many other DI's. We were on the drill field for hour and really all the comfort we could get. Now at the age of 77 I'm in fair shape for the shape I'm in. I have three pairs of Frye hightop lace up boots hand made in Mexico of good quality leather that support my feet,  ankles, knees and legs. I have had one knee replacement and that was not cheap, so if your like me and need good support check these out. They are not cheap and I am financially flush, but my health is important to me. God bless you. Conrad
