[pct-l] Croc specs

[calliger at infolane.com (rjc)]

Actually I think it is pretty common...for the last 25 years of buying 
running shoes/hiking shoes
and sandl3es and beach shoes...croc eqiivs I and my contemporaries have 
been asking
all manner of clerks to weigh them...they usually (happily)_ go in back and 
get their\companies
postal scale to weigh them if they dont know.

Can you imagine 6 lbs (each!) for a 1968 hiking boot! Those bombers NEVER 
wore out..
you just got new feet to put into them! hhahaha :-))
