Vern, would you mind enlightening us as to what all these boots are that I'm not entitled to? It's like there's a whole other world of footwear out there that I never knew existed...

...

Of course, there's still ankle boots, sea boots, blast boots, etc amongst others not listed ...

I prefer the term shoe slut, much as you gentlemen are referred to as kit sluts.

I do soooo love shoes ... and boots.

Hehehe,
Another thing we have in common!!.........I filled a garbage bag [under extreme duress from D9] to take to Value Village on the weekend as I was taking to much space on the shoe shelves.

I tried to use the "Well they are size 14 excuse", alas...... :crybaby:

Now all we need is to get you an original "Don Johnson" jacket. ;)

I don't have any "pastel" VHHBs (details below) to go with one, but I'll keep my eyes open. If I manage to find one --- next time: I get your pickles!!  ;D

Holy Crap Vern!! How long does it take you to polish those, and do they go up higher that the garrison boot we used to wear with the SSF?
 
TCBs?  are they CADPAT?

How much longer will the MkIIIs be in the system?  I was told in Pet I got one of the last pair in stores.

I was famliar with those threads, just havn't checked in on them in awhile I suppose.

Unfortunately my time is short and I was just hoping for a quick and easy answer as to whether the CADPAT boots were a go and being issued. ;)
