Kengät - Boots!

Hers

So Christian and I have both bought a pair of boots!  I purchased mine about two weeks ago because it had been raining about 3-4 days out of each week and I was sick of walking in wet sneakers.  A lot of people where wellies or small mid-calf boots made by Nokia! (Yes Nokia was a rubber manufacturer before they turned to electronics)  So I found a pair I liked, they are Viking brand, not sure if it is any relation to the Viking ferry company that runs back and forth from Helsinki to Tallin and Stockholm but at any rate I haven't gotten to wear them! It has not rained a single day in two weeks and has been absolutely sunny and gorgeous, not that I am complaining but I would like to go puddle jumping before it gets too cold.  Christian on the other hand took his for a test spin last night when went to go get pizza.  His are made by Jalas a heavy workman's shoe company that specializes in boots for fire fighters.  Christian is quiet pleased with the purchase.  They are aluminum toed, water repellent leather, and insulated for winter, so he can wear them in the foundry and just about everywhere else too.
