Cloudy day in Jakarta. Been climbing to rooftops to check out our solar panels here and I had a lot of explaining to do when I took off my boots to take some quick pictures. Still no dog. Not sure where I am ending the thunderdome this year--Taiwan, Indonesia, Seattle? There's a lot more boot and shoe removal here in Jakarta when entering smaller offices, so I've started carrying Dsptch shoe slings with me. Edges recently cleaned up a bit since I've been in muddier territory.

Been thinking about what kind of boots fit into my life better. With a young dog that needs to poop and frequent travel to destination that require footwear changes to enter offices and buildings, zip footwear started to make more and more sense. It was either traveling to Briselblack directly in Bandung while visiting family in Jakarta or these. And these checked all the boxes.
I own a brannock and was familiar with my own sizing after attending all of the early Viberg sample sales (but never buying anything) while I was an undergraduate at NYU.
Easy.
