Hierarchy of needs....

Today my boss told me I should go and get some boots suitable for snow, as it just started snowing today.. He even advised me on where to go as he'd had to get some for his daughter the day before, and her feet are larger than mine! I am used to prices in Switzerland being extortionate so was stunned to find both these in a sale, and in my size, and got both pairs for less than I'd pay for one in the UK.
I tested the pair on the right on my journey home, and though not the most elegant footwear I own, dealt with the icy pavements perfectly and kept my feet beautifully warm.
