Why settle for regular footwear when you can make every step count? I wear my steel-toed boots 24/7, even to bed (you never know when you might need to get up for a midnight snack).

The extra weight adds authority to every step. When I walk across my apartment, people know I'm coming. It's like having your own theme music, except it's the sound of steel on hardwood.

Pro tip: Avoid carpets and rugs. They're acoustically dead zones. Embrace the bare floor life.
