New Kicks.

I've never been a sneaker guy... well not since I owned my last skateboard ~40 years ago. I went through a Vans phase but no matter how many purple colorways they produced their shoes were always too narrow. These days I walk almost everywhere and as much as the Grenson's proved their mettle in Peru they are due for a trip back to the UK for a rebuild. My new Frye's aren't made for the dirt paths and rocky shores of MV. And as comfy as a pair of flip flops or Teva's can be they are not made for weather...

I say all that to make it clear I am difficult and critical when it comes to footwear. ~25 years on your feet for work will do that to you.

Enter the Asolo Space GV*. They haven't been on my feet for more than an hour and I don't want to take them off... ever. Holy crap. I wish there weren't 3 feet of snow and 2 inches of salt covering everything or I might go for a jog... who are we kidding I only run if someone is chasing me... nonetheless.

Holy cats are these things nice.

Even Paul(my bunion) is calmly ensconced(thus far) in the grippy rubber goodness...

Time will tell.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
