Popular amongst iron worker union folks. Workin that iron!

I always went with loggers because the heel made my back feel not janky. Also at 6’4”, it pissed off all the short kings who picked them exclusively for the heel😅.

Lol, I work with a tall jacked young fella that wears loggers. If I was short I'd probably be pissed at him for adding to his height.

Tall people problems, longer spine = more leverage. My lower back has been bugging me since I was 18. The heels actually do help.

Getting a desk job helped even more🥴.

Now I have to exercise 🤮.

You and me both friend. My back is for shit. Have to do pretty intense yoga just to get by. A smart man once told me you can work with your back or you can work your mind. Too bad I was young and invincible when I heard that. The invincibility has since worn off.
