On my last trip to New York City, I was in need of a new pair of boots to help me on my trek around town. After some deliberation, I went to a mall on Long Island and ventured into a Foot Locker to search for the perfect pair to suit my needs. I ended up buying a pair of Lugz boots from the N.Y. Lug Co., a division of Jack Schwartz Shoes. They have been my favorite pair of boots and most comfortable since, even beating out my old military boots.
You see, New York is a big town, as many of you know. I was there to visit friends and do several photoshoots. So a lot of travel was involved. Driving a car around the big city just did not seem like a good idea. So I got my metro pass for the two weeks I was there and after getting my new boots I set out of my journey. I got to see the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and many of the arts districts.
I also have an injured knee, so I need something that is not going to complicate things. These boots give a great grip and firm hold.
Here it is just over a year later and my boots have finally given out. They literally broke in two after their faithful service. They have served me well in my travels, projects and adventures.I even escaped having my brains and boots stolen from a Zombie that had gotten loose from the Walking Dead promotion in town and when you are running from Zombies, you need a good pair of boots. If I had to do it again the one difference I may have done was purchase a pair of the steel toe boots, so I would have had a better defense against said zombies.
Since being in Oklahoma again, I have not been able to find the same boots. So for now I have a sub standard replacement in my boot collection along with some other decent shoes but perhaps I will talk about them in a different post as this one is dedicated to the memory of my faithful companions. Thank you N.Y. Lug Co for providing an excellent product.

A good boot is hard to find!
Haha, great story! Good luck finding a replacement pair!
Great blog! I get my boots from Australia, but I will have to look into N.Y. Lug Co, their boots like nice.
So exciting when you find YOUR favorite product! Happy boot hunting
I’m a big boot fan, wear them at work daily and hike regularly. I have a different pair for every activity, occasion and season. I’ve tried out quite a few and am partial to Danner’s, Merrell’s and Cabela’s. Kaylan’s are my current hiking & mountaineering boots. Good article.
