Topic: Labels (Page 1 of 1)

Purchased a pair of rubber boots today...a bit more than your average person might need but.... I could not believe the labeling attached to these things

They have to justify the price somehow...

I can't believe there is no gore-tex tag haha

^ The gore-tex tag was on the underwear I wasn't going to tell you about. =) Not really.

Anyway, nice to see you stick your nose in every now and then .

Nice boots, does this mean you've been given an incentive to clear the back yard or perhaps do "the" mural on the shed/garage wall we were looking at a while ago?
I recently received a present of a spade and a photograph of the jungle at the bottom of the garden.


Those who look for monsters should look to it that
they do not become monsters. For when you gaze
long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

The mural space was usurped this year by Scarlet runners, 3 varieties of tomatoes and other climbing edibles and oh yes there was the little matter of fixing the other side of the garage. Don't want to do this again any time soon but there is unfortunately another outbuilding that will get similar treatment next summer.

And the boots btw are just bloody wonderful..which leads me to believe there must be something lacking in my life when rubber boots get me excited. I thought that was better left to Australians... where they raise sheep and eyebrows. =)

I like to think we have discovered the joy of boots rather than have anything lacking. My boots are getting a little worn now and when I went to buy another pair I found the price to be outrageous. Unfortunately the boots I've worn since I was at school back in the mid-Cretaceous period have become "fashionable" and so increased in price. We used to call them Bumpers but I think they're called Converse
Actually I've been told that £30.00 is "a good price" for boots nowadays, you can tell I don't shop very much.

Damn that looks an awful lot like work Nice job!

You should assemble the labels into a coat that you could then wear to match your boots.


You'd be the hit at the prom. Your dance card, my friend, would be full.

I destroy boots. Never had any boots, even extremely expensive ones, last more than a year. Cheap boots get split on the bottom and toe-tear across the top at a mere 3 months. I can wear them just around the house and they get demolished.

And don't get me started on how fast I go through socks.

My feet are monsters.
Rawr.

You're not alone with that problem warjournal. I destroyed my last 2 pairs of no-name footwear in less than 3 weeks. Just walked my usual route home->work->pub->shop->home->repeat, didn't even run, jump or whatever. Then I bought a pair of Nike hiking shoes two months ago and they haven't shown any signs of weakening yet. Holding my thumbs. Quality stuff and very comfortable on my somewhat wide feet but I'm not used to buying $160 shoes. (I have the gore-tex label ^^) I've solved the sock problem by just regularly buying more ... so I have lots of socks most of which are kind of worn out but since most of them are at least very similar so pairing them is easy.
