Getting Tough....


I moved up a level of toughness the other day when my cousin Luke posted me a pair of Xtratuf boots from Alaska. A real surprise and coincidentally they arrived on September 1st which was Random Act of Kindness Day in NZ. They may look like ordinary gumboots but in fact they are quite an uber-boot as a quick look at the Xtratuf website will attest. Super comfortable and apparently the footwear of choice in Alaska (there is even a 'sneaker' version). Im imagining it gets a little cold in Alaska which is probably why the sole is so thick and insulated. Ive road tested them already in both the winery and the vineyard and they've passed with flying colours and as a side-bonus they make me taller as well. Thanks a million Luke.
