They kept my feet warm when I was briefly outdoors, which was the main reason why I wore them.  I was delighted during the day how comfortable my feet were.  My office is well-heated, and my feet never got hot.  Just like when I wore their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/work\/chiplogger.html\" target=\"_blank\">dark brown brothers<\/a> when it was 9000F and 1000% humid (or so it felt) when I built the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/path\/waterfall.html\" target=\"_blank\">waterfall, pond, and patio<\/a> in our back yard, these boots just don&#8217;t get hot.  I love &#8217;em!<\/p>\n<p>So I won&#8217;t be getting this pair of loggers all dirty and muddy.  I&#8217;ll keep &#8217;em clean to wear to work during the winter.  <\/p>\n<p>Several guys in the office noticed the boots and asked me about them.  I explained what kind of boots they were.  The other guys all said how they thought their shoes or sneakers weren&#8217;t warm enough.  I told them to wear boots!  Of course, I always say that and they always kinda smile and roll their eyes with a &#8220;there he goes again&#8221; sigh.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  wear the right boots for the right reason!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, it was bitterly cold in these parts.
