I've had these #Meindl hiking boots for over 50 years. Bought them with money I made as a kid drawing editorial cartoons for my hometown newspaper. They got me started #hiking the #Appalachian #Trail in #Virginia and #Pennsylvania, and later in the #Sierra #Nevada. It was past time to get them re-soled and some TLC. Meindl-approved cobbler in Seattle worked wonders. I went nuts with 72-inch laces. #craftsmanship #reuse #repair
