What I find so hilarious about that is that Vimes doesn’t like nice boots. He’s a barefoot shoes fan (to use nonfictional modern terms).
He wants soles thin enough to be able to read the cobbles and pavers as he walks the beat, (or walked somewhere with a blindfold) so that he can feel the texture of the city and know exactly where he is.

@wiredfool Yep, as I said in a reply to someone else "Vimes likes the shitty boots, they let him feel the cobbles of the city under his feet in a way that the rich will never feel. But his feet are still wet."
