this thread reminds me of all the funny looks I get while wearing my heavy sorel boots around during winter. Its cold as hell and every one else is walking through knee deep snow with leather shoes or sneakers. While freezing they look at me like I am the idiot.

I dont know about anyone else but I have always chose function over fashion. When Its cold I wear winter boots, simple as that. As funny as people think I look walking through wal-mart with my knee high winter boots I think they look equally as stupid when we leave the store and I laugh as I watch them stumble and slip the whole way to their cars. Or even better, high heels at the bus stop when its -20 out side.
