Brrr! It's cold in here...

Sometimes all you need to do

Is pull on a pair of sturdy boots

Strap yourself in

(preferably with a nice belt)

Hold on

And you can conquer the world.

Winter Hint: Don't pack away your dresses

Just because of the arctic chill.

Tights, leggings - they really do help.

[Trust me.]

Don't let the cold steal away your secret weapon.

A fishy tale of two sisters...

This picture is my amazing sister and I wearing our guys' Muck Boots on a weekend fishing trip. The water was a bit higher than normal, thus producing lots of mud and causing us to con the boys out of their boots so that we wouldn't our toesies all gooey.

My hunting dog, Braxton he kinda wanted in on the photo op and turned out being a great photo that I am excited to share with The Gypsy Feet!

Luv, KariAnne

Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked and walked...

"Hello,
I thought I'd drop two photos of my dad's feet by for you to take a gander at. He is a teacher and a wagon master.
Each year he takes his 30 or so eighth grade students on a week long wagon adventure in Nevada and California.
He recently tightened the rims on his wagon wheels, which is when I took these photos. It's sort of like resoling a boot, but hotter and terrifying if it goes wrong.
The top picture I took while he cut wood to use to heat up the wagon wheel rims. The second is of him playing the wood just so, so that the metal heats up evenly.
I believe these have been my dad's work boots since before I was born(23 years ago). He gets them resoled or patched every year or two. I just love how much they tell about his life and his standards."
