Kerri's new boots

These aren't really my thing, but Kerri had to have them, particularly with the Stampede looming next weekend. They're not cheap let me tell you. Kerri likes them so that's the main thing. They're made by the Alberta Boot Company & the shop in downtown Calgary is huge! The number of boots in that one shop is quite overwhelming. They have hundreds of different styles & they're made from either Cow Hide, Kangaroo Hide (very soft leather) or Snake Skin (very tacky if you ask me). Kerri's are a burgundy colour made from Cow hide. I saw a number of pairs in there for well over $800 CAD!
1 Canadian dollar (CAD) is about 0.9 Aussie Dollars at the moment.


I'm on the lookout for some hiking boots myself. The ones I'm after are about $170! Ouch! They will get a bashing over the next two years with the road trips into the mountains & they'll come in handy in the colder months around Calgary.
