Question: Footwear for the Northern steeler
As I watch the snowflakes drift gently down today, knowing that the less gentle ones are not far off, the seasonal question arises: has anyone ever found any boots out there that keep your feet dry in slush and snow, keep you from breaking your neck on ice, and yet can be used for playing pedal steel?
It's bad enough at gigs and rehearsals having to set up guitar, volume pedal, seat and tune 20 strings without having to change shoes as well. My current boots perform the slush/ice functions very well but have soles like snow tires which are way too wide and thick for pedaling.
