How could I not buy these boots?
One, they fit my 17.5" calves
Two, they are named Hobart. I grew up in Hobart.
I've been looking for brown/cognac boots for ever. Seriously, ask Shazza and Kath who were with me last year. We looked in Vancouver and Seattle.
Ask Michelle who has heard me bitch more often than she ever wanted to.
So where did I find said boots? In Sechelt. That's like saying I bought them in Bicheno (for my fellow Taswegians) or Rye (for Victorians).
They were slightly over budget, but when you find boots to fit beyond extra wide calves, and they're called Hobart, you buy them.
