We've been hiking/backpacking/camping a lot up here over the past several months.
All through the summer we sporadically picked up several pairs of boots for me to try on-
Wear around the house/yard/beginning of _______ trail head--
Only to [immediately] switch back to my less than superb trail runner shoes because even they felt better than the piercing grasp of 'regular people' hiking boots.
Something is significantly wrong with my feet.
I first figured this out when I had a major panic attack the first time I [halfway] slipped on a snowboarding boot.
Foot flailing- me yelping- kicking- twisting body side to side-
Panic attack.
Because my feet were squished. And pissed.
So I've been frustrated with insufficient foot gear conducive to outdoor activities for like a hundred years.
But alas-- I have found my match...
Meet my new [most favorite] hiking shoes!
They got a trial run last weekend and it's official.
I'm in love with them.
The traction is incredible and they are cozy and gentle on my sensitive tootsies.
Plus- the box I brought them home in informed me that for purchasing said shoes, they'd in turn plant a tree in my honor.
Perhaps to compensate for the waste of the box in which this glorified statement was announced...
Oh well- hooray for new trees.
And shoes.
