CP and boots

HI guys - does anyone wear piedro adult boots? Can they stand up to being battered? I generally wear Caterpillars with steel toe caps as although I can walk I very quickly destroy the toes of most boots. Also, I walk the dog. Can piedros stand up to that - and how long do they last?

hi, I have a similar problem, but I tend to wear out the soles in different places fast.

I wear piedro boots and they are pretty good, they do start to wear fairly quick, but in my experience not as fast as other boots. I have two pairs of piedros, one for work ( I work 18 p/w on my feet all shift) and another for the office, and going out. Alternatating them does make them last longer. I buy mine privately now as I wear afo's on both legs and orthotics won't supply me boots as the support comes from the afos. I also wear trainers with my afos and hiking boots, hiking boots are quite durable I have found.
