These Boots are Made for...Everything?


So I was out shooting photos @ Tyler Creek Forest Preserve when I looked down and saw….my boots. It was then that I realized how much I love them! I had been tromping in the snow all afternoon and my feet were toasty warm and dry. So in gratitude I snapped a pic. I realize now what an integral part these boots have become in my life.They came to be mine in the most innocuous of ways – Jeff and I were camping, and hiking (camera in my hand, of course). Camping amateurs that we are (our first time out, actually) I left the dog’s food I had bagged up at home on the picnic table the first night. Yep, you guessed it – the raccoons ate very well that night. Jeff and I set out on a quest to find a Petsmart (which as we later discovered, is not something they have in that area) and ended up at a Farm n Fleet. I browsed the boots – and found these. Later that day I decided to risk it and “break them in” on the trails. I lucked out – comfortable from the time they came out of the box! They wear almost like sneakers and not boots.They have now traveled to Arizona as well as many adventures in forest preserves here near home. They have kept my feet clean and dry all winter from the snow and slush. I even wear them to the barn and to ride in – and they hardly look worn! I’m looking forward to many more adventures wearing my trusty faithful boots.
