[pct-l] Boots

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

I was looking at my collection of semi-worn out trail runners last week. I
immediately tossed 2 pair and now I think I am going to toss 2 more pair.
Then I am going to the shoe store to get another pair of new trail shoes!

I also have 2 pair of boots. Neither pair has been worn in the last 5 years.
They probably won't fit after all those trail miles. My feet are at least
one size larger now. Long live the trail runners!
