These are my favorite boots Ive had them 11 years. So you can imagine the wear and tear they have had over the years. I have worn them on hot days with hot shorts and a hot jean denim skirt. I have worn them when its rained and they have gotten damp and wet and musky inside. I have also worn them in the snow when its wet and snowy outside or in the rain because the plastic soles grip to the ice and don't let me fall on my ass. But all those years of wearing those boots with socks and with pantyhose and without socks they have gotten sooo dirty. and not only that they have gotten so smell omg its like a mix of corn chips with vinegar mixed together. They smell of dirty and grime and pee, imagine that piss and and even . So imagine my surprise when you want to see how worm they are how the threads are coming apart, how many holes they have how the bottoms are peeling apart because there is no glue left at the bottom. As I show you even the inside falls apart and tears in my hand. I pull out the insole and I show you the remains of the dirty old show that is garbage.
