On Wearing Tall Boots

[Jkrenzer]

We all spent way to much time hiding our passion. I expect 100 times as many never overcome their fear.

Ah yes, Hunter boots - the very posh gum boots worn by the country gentry over here. I’ve a pair of those as well. Mine are the classic green. Extremely well made and good for walking.

I too regret lost time - years of fretting over my partiality to what designated as feminine style boots. And now I marvel that I ever worried about it.

We can them "muck boots" in my trade. I have two pair: One nondescript plain black pair for actual mud, which I keep at work, and one shiny PVC pair with a pink lining and a 2 inch wedge heel for use at home. If I need to wear either pair, I'm probably hating life, at least a little.

With a name like muck boots, I can see why. Hunter boots has a much nicer ring tout, and when walking on a leafy (yet muddy) towpath one needn’t hate life!
