So long, my old friends.

You've been with me for many years. You have carried my weight, and then some, over the most difficult of times. At times you've struggled and suffered and been abused by me. At times I've neglected you and forgotten you for months on end. But whenever I needed you you were always there for me. For over a decade now you have been my companion. You have been there with me during some of the most magical times I have experienced. And you have supported me through some hellish experiences as well. And never once did you demand anything in return. And even when no one else wanted to share those times with us we still ventured out, just you and I, and tackled the world together. Oh, the stories you could tell and the things you have seen! From the highest mountains to the largest chasms to the wilds of the jungles and the vast expanses of lonely deserts. So many people will live a whole lifetime and never see the sights we've shared together. And as this story of you-and-I draws to its close I just want to say "thank you" for some awesome memories!
But alas, nothing lasts forever. And sadly, your time has come to its bittersweet end. But as you pass the torch to a younger generation you can stand proud in the life you've had and know that you were always appreciated for the support you gave. So long, my old friends...I will miss you.

Yeah. I just ordered an identical pair to replace these ones. In all honesty they shoulda been retired a couple seasons ago, but they were so damn comfortable I just couldn't bring myself to do it! And at almost $200 a pair I wanted to get all the mileage I could.

Cute. I once wrote a poem about my favorite pair of jeans when they had to be thrown away.
But just think, I bet your new ones will really be waterproof.

I'd have re-soled them. I'll take a pair of boots that fit my feet over new ones any day. I hate new boots. RR

I have me a pair of La Sportivas, nice boots. Also some wolverine work boots that I'll probably hike in during the winter.
I wonder how long they'll last me.

Vasque is my favorite boot company.
You really got your moneys worth though, gotta love that.
