    Muck boots look hot and expensive. I have a foot that could be used in place of flippers for scuba divers.. long and WI D E. I have been looking at hiking boots by Propet. They come in ankle high.. actually above the ankle should work like a charm. Another comfortable boot which I used to use in my motorcycling days were Wellingtons.. they come about 1/3 up the shin.. Comfortable and NO issue with chips.

    In the warmer weather, when I wear shorts when I turn, I use these:

    I use a pair of shoe covers almost every time I go in the shop and definitely if turning. I wear lace boots and long pants and need to keep shavings out of the laces, not off socks.

    I take my socks off and go over them with a stiff bristle brush. This gets the chips off quickly.
    The hurrier I goes, the behinder I gets.

    This sounds like good advice. Thank you.

    I must be doing something wrong. I’m pretty sure I wear pants most of the time, and just regular shoes - actually, cheap hiking/walking shoes for the most part. I’ve not had a problem with shavings in my shoes. Even when spending a day calf deep in shavings from roughing. The smock pockets do fill up, but I thought that was what they’re there for.
    Perhaps this would be a good subject for a demo...
