Old and out-of-shape

Posted on December 16, 2022 by customboots

After inseaming three pairs of boots/shoes my arms and hands are saying, “Excuse me ma’am, I thought we were riding a desk now.”

My sympathies! I figure I have to complete three more pair of hiking boots to
get me through until I can’t walk anymore, and it isn’t getting any easier even
with stitched-out and glued-down soles. This may be an optimistic plan (I turn
80 in March). So you are not old, just well seasoned!

Wishing you a blessed Nativity and Happy New Year!

  Mark,
  It’s so good to hear from you! I’m glad you’re doing well and still making boots. I wish you happy holidays and new year also!
