My M14 cries.

Is it bad I like my M14 over my M1?

Joke answer: look I’d agree with you that the m14 is the better rifle but then we’d both be wrong.

Actual answer: they are both good and worthy of our love and affection. So long as you’re enjoying it then go forth and do good work

Are those White's lace-to-toes that you're wearing?

Yep, the very same. So right up front I’m going to say that they are great and that I love them. I have them so perfectly broken in that they are molded to my feet and after not wearing them for a few day, I’m always a little surprised at how comfortable they are when I put them on. I have a pair of redwings that I recently got (because my employer was buying) and they aren’t nearly as nice as my nicks. I can feel a difference between them and it’s noticeable.

All of that said I will admit that at my last job I got a boot stipend so I’m not going to say that I paid full price for them. So if that weren’t the case I honestly couldn’t say that I would drop them money of expensive boots. Are they twice as good as redwings for twice the price? With the way I use any of my boots these days definitely not. Do I need to wear what I think are the toughest boots on the planet? Not even a little. Are they comfortable and do I have good memories attached to them? Definitely, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world

Lol. I wear Nick's and every old man I run into asks if they're White's.
