[pct-l] Boots

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

seriously look at the Vasque Velocity trail runners.  I have put 
several hundred miles on them this past summer and have to say that 
they are the first new shoe that has impressed me in a long time.

> I was looking at my collection of semi-worn out trail runners last
> week. I immediately tossed 2 pair and now I think I am going to toss 2
> more pair. Then I am going to the shoe store to get another pair of

> 
> I also have 2 pair of boots. Neither pair has been worn in the last 5
> years. They probably won't fit after all those trail miles. My feet
> are at least one size larger now. Long live the trail runners!
