I finally bought some real boots. It's been years since I have owned a pair of boots or shoes that were actually built by people, and those were heavy work boots. The last couple of pairs I've had were pretty pricey but just murder on my feet. So anyway, I got on the old YouTube and computer, spent about a week of looking at all the options that I could afford and finally saw a pair that resembled the boots my grandfather wore way back in the 60s and earlier. They were a very light boot, more like an ankle-high shoe, but they were the standard footwear for old farts back then lol. The ones i chose are highly rated on the net and are reasonably priced at 235 bucks. Yeah I freaked out on the price of good leather resolable boots, some way over 500 bucks, the ones I used to buy for about a 100 bucks, so I am giving these a try, and so far they are friggin awesome!!!! Nice and light, and after a week, they fit like a glove. My feet haven't felt so good in over 20 years. My wife was telling me her granddad wore only wool socks with his old fart boots, so I tried that out as well, and wow, nice comfy warm dry feet all day long. I've got to say those old farts knew their stuff when it came to having happy feet. Thursday shoe company Heritage captain boots rock!!!!

@chuck123wapati well done  and well  deserved . They look so good and will polish up nicely. There are times when we just love to treat ourselves.

I'm contemplating  buying a new( stetson style)hat  for myself for Christmas.  The brand/ company  i would normally buy from  has now been bought  out by a mining squillionare . They can go and jump.

So I'm going to support another  Aussie made  company instead,  not owned by a mining company, a bit pricey, but so what !

My current  hat is around 10 years  old,  stained badly, smells. and worn out and  has holes in it and was  a prezzy from a former flame and not  a good look at the markets. 

Time for a change 👍

Enjoy your  new boots 👢 👍
