last week universe gave 100 euro to me – for new shoes. the only pair warm enough for winter i own is about ten years old. & my 6 years old rubber boots have lots of gaps. i found out there is a buy-3-pay-2-promotion at amazon … so now i have a new pair of winter boots (a compromise: vegan outer material, but lined with wool), new rubber boots & a pair of linen sneakers for springtime (both vegan).
