Who knew?-Liz

I was in REI the other night buying yet another pair of hiking boots because I'll wear out 5 pairs while hiking the PCT. I was assisted by a nice gentleman named Ashley and I don't know if it was a slow night for him or because I mentioned I was doing the PCT but he was very eager to show me how to tie my boots correctly. Who knew I'd been tying my boots the wrong way for so many years, I feel so embarrassed. Between the sales people at REI and Mel Cotton I've learned a lot about hiking boots and how to wear them, is there a shoe school they attend?
