New Converse

My new Converse Knee-Hi boots have arrived.  Despite the name, they are not actually knee high but they are the X-Hi boot, which are about 9.5 inches from ground to top, the same height as my Levi's 'fake converse'.
Here are a couple of photos of them:

I bought them from Schuh, in the sale. Normally I would have chosen a darker coloured boot but they only had the grey available in the extra-tall. They seem reasonably comfortable so far. I'll obviously have to wear them a bit more to 'break them in' and get used to them.

Boxing Boots Week

I have been wearing my boxing boots for work during the last few weeks. I have been mainly wearing my gola boots because although I bought them years ago I don't wear them very often and they haven't had chance to soften up properly. I am sure they are starting to get more comfortable.
I decided to wear my adidas boxing boots today. I bought these nearly 10 years ago and they are very close to falling apart, which would be a great shame because I really love wearing them. They don't feel quite as comfortable as they used to, as part of the inner lining is starting to wear away. When the time comes to throw them away, it will be a sad occasion but I still have plenty of other pairs of boots to wear.
