now they are piratenstiefel.abgelaufen by my beloved, verwarzten, dirty and even with loose sohlen.also ... with no consideration for losses, I go to the eisklate wasser.zerbreche with the boots, the thin eisschicht.bis the soles are still more lösen.ich go quietly through the icy wasser.lasse YOU watch how I look at the soles of the boots tear, throw into the water, and then continue to walk in the lake ..... oh oh ... that was really cold .... grins
