These boots weren’t made for walking
This time last year, I was just about to leave my job and start a new job and get sacked from the new job three weeks later (obviously I didn’t know about the getting sacked bit this time last year). When I got the sack, I decided not to mope about but to find something new and different to do and what I found was a Facebook advert asking me if I wanted to climb up and down three mountains in three days and I thought to myself, do I want to climb up and down three mountains in three days? and I thought no, not really, but I might meet some fit men, so I signed up and then read the things to buy list which at the top was walking boots and so I went into Blacks and Snow & Rock looking for some sexy walking boots and came away with the impression that sexy walking boots do. not. exist.
This impression was further compounded by this video about Keen Sandals which has been brought to my attention. I should have had alarms ringing just by the mention of the word “keen” and the word “sandals”. Can it get any worse? Can the image of middle-aged men be any stronger? Still, I watched the video and they sound quite impressive with their toe protectors which apparently stop your toes from getting bruised, which I certainly could have done with after three days going up and down mountains and they’ve even got a recycled sole for all you tree-huggers out there and they have an alternative to leather which are salt water resistant so you can, um, go swimming in them or something but the only thing that appeals to me is the bunjee cord instead of a normal lace, as for some reason I have the dexterity skills of a two year old and can not do my laces up so they stay done up for more than about an hour. Still, the man on the video says they’re a design classic, and who am I to argue?
Design Classic?!?I like the unique selling point of the metatomical foot beds. Apparently, it means the sandals are ‘individually shaped for left and right foot’ Duh – aren’t all shoes!
How weird – kneeling in a field, fondling a sandal and muttering words like metatomical.
Running shoes i understand but this leaves me baffled
That is hillarious!!! ‘design classic’ pmsl!!!!!!!!
Haha, I love your review of walking boots AND sandals… personally, it’s all too overwhelming to me! all these different cool features that especially the sandals have, like the toe protection and being able to be immersed in water etc I only have one pair of hiking boots and I’m scared to try the sandals – too techy for me!
