This month is my wife and I's 10 year wedding anniversary. For her I carved an ugly (but heartfelt ;)) little wooden cup, which unless she is a much better liar than I thought she seems delighted with.

She's been wanting to get me some good boots for ages, but I keep saying no since a decent set is so expensive. This month she finally put her foot down and insisted I bought these:

A set of Alt-Berg Tethera boots. They're just a little bit of a step up from my old £15 Hi-Tec boots that leaked :lmao:

Having properly sized them for the larger of my two feet, the left one is mind bogglingly comfortable already. The right one is just a touch loose but I'm confident that will settle down once they are broken in, especially when I am wearing walking socks. My right foot is a half size smaller than my left.

I've never owned boots the correct width fitting before (extra wide). Normally I buy boots a half size too big to accommodate my massively wide feet.

Can't wait to take them out in the hills.

I was sceptical whether the leather would be able to mould enough to accommodate a half size difference between my feet. I assumed I would have to wear a trainer sock on my right foot only.

But my goodness - after several days of wearing them they are starting to break in nicely. The leather is conforming even to my smaller right foot. If it keeps going this way I doubt I'll need any extra padding at all....
