Out with the Old, In with the New

摘要

I was surprised to feel a moment of nostalgia when the new Globe Supralite boots arrived in the mail. I may be a bit sentimental, sure, but 1 had no idea that emotion would ever enter into the realm of turnout gear. There I was, affectionately placing my trusty old boots in my locker for the last time. With good care and replaced soles, they lasted 15 years and carried me through a lot of experiences—more of them forgotten than remembered, and some etched in my mind for life. I'm sure those reading this will understand as only a firefighter could. They weren't lying when they said it'd go fast.
