So, last summer I bought a pair of Patagonia light weight hiking boots. They were not over the top price wise and they were in the sale rack at REI. They have hands down been the most comfortable hiking boots/shoes I have ever had. They felt like a glove on my feet when I first put them on. I have worn them almost constantly since I got them.
I was at the grocery store the other day and was talking to a clerk who mentioned she had heard that Patagonia was no longer making or selling shoes or boots, she then mentioned she was going online to find some more because they are so comfortable. Being the somewhat impressionable gal that I am, I got scared, that I wouldn't be able to find another pair of these, and I just love them, crazy I know but, so online I went. There was one pair left and it was in my size, it had to be Karma, but they were almost twice as much as the sale pair I got last summer, but they are Gortex lined, with Vibram soles and the last pair available, and in my size, so after hemming and haaing for 2 days I actually mentioned it to my husband and he thought I was a bit nuts, (as usual) but I was perusing the shoe posting tonite and didn't see them so I thought okay, sigh, wasn't meant to be. I did browse thru their sneakers as I am in need of a pair of those and they were much cheaper than the boots. I found two pair that I liked and they were even comparable to outlet prices, as I was getting ready to order them, there were the boots, they were hiding and I didn't see them till almost too late.I
I am not a shoe nut really, no Jimmy Choos, no $500.00 shoes for me, honest! But I just ordered 3 pair of shoes, not a one with heels of any kind. I guess if this is a midlife crisis it's not so bad.
