The day before the 12/11 blizzard, I finally shrugged off my traditional asceticism (and the attendant need to constantly replace work shoes) and bought my first-ever pair of sorel boots, with the removable wool liners.
My feet have been toasty warm ever since.
For all those years, I had no idea what a nifty thing that was.
I practically sleep in them today.
Apropos not much.
Now get yaself a “Fud” and everyone will think you’re a native Minnesotan.
erm, that’s “Fudd”.
Warn feet is a natural right. Expect a Congressional mandate in 2011. Unless the Imperial EPA determines that warm feet are a public health hazard.
interpretation – buy stock in Sorel.
How well do the Sorel boots work when riding the bike?
I guess the socialist Canadians know a thing or two about making a good boot.
Peter, that would be “aboat,” no? And Sorel, started in 1962, predates Canadian socialism, eh.
