I got so far with the article and then thought to myself, he starts by giving the opinion (which I agree with) that the choice of boots is personal and then writes rather a longish article on the choice of boots. Too recommend that everyone should read this post is insulting, demanding that everyone should waste precious time. If you've time to stuff a mushroom you may have time to read this article, otherwise just make your own mind up what suits you best, which is what the chap says in the first place.

I stuffed a few mushrooms while I read the post. I guess I've got fairly good hand-to-eye co-ordination but I'll let you know when the iPad comes out of the oven.I If you've time to stuff a mushroom you may have time to read this article
Had it been the secret of eternal life, personal happiness or anything of real importance I could have accepted it, but you've just gotta read about boots!!!!!!!!.
i am not comparing anything. I am just making the point thst titling a piece about choosing a pair of boots “everyone should read this” is over the top. Try snd find s sense of humour too !Oh come on! Are we descending to petty sexism and stereotypes now?! @Gareth Griffith your comment about the gender of those posting is offensive. Can I suggest that post and the next where you compare @davebugg 's post to Mein Kampf (huh?!!) are deleted before this gets any more ridiculous?
I'm a male. I thought your posting was brusque.It is notable that it is two females that think I'm being harsh. (I'm not sure whether "Camino Chris" is M or F.) Most blokes are more than capable of walking into a reputable outdoor shop and saying to an assistant "i'm thinking of walking at least 790 kilometers across northern Spain, I'm a size 7 and have a budget of fourpence, what have you got?" Half an hour later they'll be back on the street with a suitable pair of shoes/boots/flipflops/desert wellies.
But as any married adult male will tell you, women and shoe shops do not mix and are not the place that you want to be when they are in the process of buying footwear!
My humble apologies if anyone is seriously injured by my comments. Tincatinker you made me laugh!!
