These John Lofgrens were a last minute substitution for a pair of Red Wings that I had planned on wearing for the dome. John Lofgrens have always been a grail boot, but they've been a little outside my price range. These popped up on Ebay, and I couldn't say no. They've been my daily boot for the last six months. I've worn them on a trip to Mexico, hiking with my kids, and to the office each day. For the last couple weeks I also wore them as a work boot. I've enjoyed these so much that I purchased a used pair of John Lofgren Steadfast Chukkas during the dome. I spent hours asking ChatGPT to write a perfect poem for these boots. It is written below. These boots of John Lofgren's make, Have traveled far with every stride I take. From rugged trails to sandy shores, They've been my faithful companions for months and more. With every step, they tell a story, Of hikes with kids and memories of glory. Mexico's sun and salty sea, Or the daily grind, they've seen it all with me. The leather tough, yet soft as suede, Molds to my feet, as if tailor-made. The laces sturdy, the soles well-worn, These boots of John Lofgren's, have weathered every storm. And now as I look back on these six months, I'm grateful for the moments we've spent. These boots have been my trusty guide, Through every journey, they've stood by my side. So here's to you, my faithful pair, May we have many more adventures to share. From mountain peaks to sandy beaches, Together we'll conquer every challenge that reaches.
