This one's specific one but I've seen guys permantly fuck up their feet by wearing cheap, thin-soled boots everyday or stand in jeans and a hoodie in -20° F for hours because buying good, quality clothes is seen as feminine.
They wear thin-soled boots and improper warm weather gear because they feel they have something to prove.
I wear them because I'm poor.
We are not the same. smug look of superiority
And I underdress (slightly! not that extreme!) for the weather because I've got enough body fat that it's more comfortable that way
...... I'd be lying if I said it wasn't also that.
I can be fine in a t-shirt and shorts while my skinny friends are in sweaters and fuzzy socks.
how do thin-soled boots fuck up your feet?
When your feet are out of shape and you stand around all day, it can put too much stress on the arch of the foot. Or other areas, even up your legs depending on posture, fitness, and what you're doing with your feet all day. Even just walking a lot can really suck if you have arthritis or simply allow (aka forced via work schedule) your feet to get overworked and on the down side of recovery.
To be fair, it's not ever the boot doing the fucking. It's just not helping your feet survive. Even basic arch support goes a looong ways towards staying comfortable for many people.
If the ground is freezing cold they have little to no insulation
i do fine in thin-soled boots in -10°C, just use a wool insole and some socks.
Wearing boots isn't particularly feminine, is it?
Sounds more like plain old vanity.
Caring about your body apparently is though.
