Galoshes

I just like saying that word. It's such a lovely onomatopoeia.

I got myself a pair of boots, primarily in anticipation of doing a little bit of concrete work around the house. Having footwear that can be hosed off is very convenient for such tasks.

These boots, however, have a secret: they're actually steel-toed. I'm not terribly worried about lower extremity crush injuries, but what's nice is that it makes it a lot easier to kick stuff around without bruising your toes.

And, well, occasionally you will stub a toe on something.
