FlakMagnet 412 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 This is another of those small things that has helped me in the field.I use the toe of my boot to scrape the first layer of dirt when I get a faint signal.Obviously that is not so great for the life of the boot.I have found that spreading a nice thick layer of silicone glueover the area of the boot that I use to scrape with is an almost bullet-proof way to protect the boot.fiwi,Flak Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have one foot that's really messed up. No health insurance and being in construction it's really tough to wear a boot let alone walk around on a roof. Maybe the silicone will help CheersJohnnoAnd thanks for the medical solution! P.S. Don't view this if you're hungry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bedrock Bob 4,013 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I use a piece of heavy plastic (from a "Hot Wheel" toy) for a foot guard and digger. I cut a curved piece of plastic that was shaped right to go over the inside of my foot. I driled two holes in it and laced it up when I laced the boot. It took a little adjustment but I figured out how to make it hang so it covered the inside of my right foot and drug the ground just a little. I didnt notice it at all when I walked but when I scraped my foot sideways it guarded my boot and gave a hard edge to dig with.I wore metatarsal guards for years and that is where I got the idea. Instead of sitting over your arch like a metatarsal guard it hung to the side of your foot toward te instep. Just like an armor plate down the inside of your foot.Johnno, those are the ugliest dogs I have ever seen! :yuk-yuk: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnno 64 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Johnno, those are the ugliest dogs I have ever seen! :yuk-yuk:G'Day BobThanks mate, I feel so special. I'm waiting for the other toe to go on the other side that way I can balance out the right foot from the left foot. But look at it this way, when I tell somebody something and they want to see if I have my fingers crossed, I'm styling mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
