2009 Aug 26: Kelly Hiking Boots

Are these not the most amazing hiking boots you've ever seen in your life and don't you wish you had a pair? Apparently not, because I snatched them for $15 on clearance.

These are really amazingly well made hiking boots, men's size 8m, sturdy leather, comfortable fit, padded in all the places they're supposed to be to not chafe when one is... what, hiking up the side of a mountain? In these shoes? I don't think so! But perhaps some of those early expeditions to the South Pole would have been more successful, if they'd had a pair of these babies to light their way through a blizzard. The black rubber on the sides is in fact emblazoned with the inspirational message "Dream It. Be It." How can you not love shoes that are stylish, functional, and inspirational?!. The brand is "First Down" and I've never seen them before or since.

Bonus points for the reader: Can you tell the city in which I work? Big hint: notice the tower between my feet.
