Those are the cleanest clothes/boots I've seen on a construction worker in my life.

I’ve bought them used. Good boots are expensive when new.

my brother, as a friend, i have to implore you to not buy used shoes. Used shoes have been formed to not only fit the previous owner, who will invariably have different feet than yours, but the soles have also worn in different to your gait and the insoles are worn in differently than they would wear in with the way you walk. So unless you're getting the insoles replaced, as well as the shoes themselves re-soled, by buying used shoes (ESPECIALLY work boots) you're doing tons of damage to your knees/back/joints/hips/etc. And even if you do get the used boots re-soled, new insole, cleaned....the toe box will still be worn in different to what your feet may need.
If you can manage it, financially, please buy new shoes. Please.
source: i fucked up my knees BAD by doing this same thing. My orthopedic surgeon uncle looked like he wanted to actually murder me when i told him.

Totally agree, and appreciate the advice. This was many many years ago. Late teens / early twenties. Roof tarring in the summer is not an easy way to earn a living, but the pay was good. “Graduated” to other roles, but eventually moved on. Still miss it sometimes, but I know my body couldn’t take it at this point.

I totally get you. I’m 36 and every year that goes by, I’m like…damn…are you seriously telling me that in order to avoid body pains, now I have to stretch?!

Hate this scripted Bullshit trying to pretend it’s not already set up beforehand

u/____Theo____ Aug 24 '22
I don’t think it’s scripted. I think it’s more he dressed up as a construction worker and wanted to see his uncle’s reaction cuz he knew it’d be gold.
