Ah yes, you know them by heart!
When they're getting comfortable on your feet, they're on the verge of breaking up and you'd better get ready for a new pair...

The good old fashioned way is more than good enough, but it still requires generous amounts of lubrication and shine in order to soften and preserve them.

Hmm, I must have marched through my 7th. pair of boots by now.
