I bought these boots after the 2008 election with the intension of going to the inauguration no matter what the weather would be. So I looked for boots that were comfortable and light enough to walk the eight miles back to my house from the Capitol, warm enough for cold weather, and dry enough for rain and mud. These boots have served me very well this crazy winter ! And they were a smart move last year. Here's a funny story about toes.
My podiatrist told me that last February he saw a woman patient complaining of pain in several of her toes.
"Have you been out in the cold a lot lately?" he asked her.
"No. Well I was at the Inauguration," she answered.
"You have frost bite," the doctor told her. She wore nylon stockings and pumps to mall. No
wonder.
The next week, a man came in with frost bitten toes.
"Did you go to the Inauguration?" the podiatrist asked.
"Yes," said the main who reported that he had worn sneakers stuffed with two pairs of socks,
cutting off circulation to his toes. "How did you know?"
