Finally riding a big boys bike
I had one real nice find this last Friday.
I have lost 14 pounds in the last 6 weeks after taking a new job that required physical activity. As a result I needed all new clothes. On Friday I went to goodwill and purchased a bunch of pants and shorts. I did not want to spend much because I do not know how much more weight I may loose.
I saw a brand new pair of work boots behind the glass display cabinet and asked to try them on. The brand was Nick's. I never heard of the brand before, but when I saw that they were handmade in the USA I thought they would be worth the $40 price tag and they fit me perfectly.
At the time it was obvious they were brand new. After I got home I researched the brand and was surprised that they cost $470 when new. I decided to keep them, and have been wearing them most of the weekend. They even came with a unused 2nd set of Kevlar laces.
I have a older set of Redwings I was keeping in nice condition, But now the Redwings will become my work boots, and I will keep these Nicks boots in nice condition for casual dress occasions.
