Going Green, But I’ve Always Been Green!

Those of you who know me can prove that I’ve been wearing green shoes for 20 years now, not the hemp save the earth don’t harm the animals type of green! Something about my green shoes makes me happy, my old green 3 eylet gibson green doc martens have been retired to my woodshop, they are now covered in glue and dust, the back heel is torn, I can’t get rid of them, they are a part of me.  I was so depressed when my good pair started to go and I wanted to purchase new ones but doc martens discontinued making them, SHAME ON YOU!  I searched high and low all over the world, I would have shipped them from anywhere to have my green docs!  I had to move up to the 9 eylet boot in green, for a guy who basically works in pajamas and slippers all day putting on a boot just sucks!  I fought the urge to buy a higher type clog, I used to wear them in the kitchen and as we all know who wear them the “clog blowout” where you twist your ankle on a kitchen mat or something is just painfull!  I broke down and bought a pair of black clogs, yeah they were comfy, I wasn’t twisting my ankle, but they were black, BORING!!!  I was determined to find a green shoe, this could not be the end of an era for me.  Finally I found a company who made them for me in Sweden!  I love you Sweden!  Actually the gentleman lives in North Carolina that arranged all of this, thanks to Jans Fagerberg I have my green clogs.  Here is his websight – now one of my favorites for sure!  http://www.janswedeclogs.com/
