Re: CULT: weather, boots, & kitchens

Have we finally run out of enthusiasm for talking about irises? <g>

I live in boots, so little dried clots of dirt are always in my house,
especially under my computer chair.  Whatever happened to smooth soles on
boots?  I love the comfort and support of hiking 'shoes', those lightweight
sneaker like boots with ankle support, but they are designed with treads
suitable for traction on slopes, not slogging back and fort to the garden where
they just collect and drag rocks and dirt into the kitchen, living room, etc.

I'd love to have some water-proof New Balance hikers with those old fashioned
flat, crepe soles, the kind that used to actually wear out before the uppers
fell apart.  Boots I could walk thru grass sodden with dew, clomp around in the
irises hybridizing, then wipe off on a door mat on the way indoors for whatever
it was I forgot & for breaks from the heat, humidity, and non-iris pollen.
Without having little cleat shaped crusts of dirt shedding all over everything.
