So the evening I got the email saying they were offering me the position, I came home and logged into
6pm.com. For those that are unaware of this website, it's the clearance/discount sister site to Zappo's (really kick-booty shoes- let's get something out of the way here... I am trying to reform my language so I will occasionally put in something a little 'off', sorry).
Back to the point... So I came home and went to 6pm.com right away and looked up boots. My mind was boggled, however, I was soon introduced the the world of temperature ratings and found Sorel boots to add to my love of all things Keen. I found a few pairs that sparked my interest and quickly filled up my shopping cart. Steep discounts rock my world.
Today I arrived home to a box (the size of my 80 lb lab) filled with my 3 pairs of boots bound for helping me prepare for Alaska. You a little curious yet?

These are the "Red Keen's" They're a shorter book but pretty warm. Slightly big. |

These are the "Tall Boots". I may find better ones in AK for certain types of weather but it's really hard for me to find boots that work on my calves and these do. Woot woot! |

And these are the Sorel's. The crown jewel of the bunch. rated to -40 degrees. TRIPLE WOOT WOOT!!! |
Those boots are going to come in handy, cause where you're going there are two seasons - Winter and "mud" - and one of them is definitely longer than the other. When you arrive in June, the muddy season will be beginning...
