Re: how to put on an easy boot

Garret, I deeply apologize if you have taken this personally. Lets face it 
there has yet to be a perfect product. But It is quite obvious that to all 
riders they won't be caught dead without one. In the midst of all of the 
troubles we take to get on the trail and have a great time. Things happen, 
it slows us down to have to fix a flat in the rain if you catch my drift 
here. In our lives where something so insignificant as loosing a shoe you 
take it personal that someone out there has a personal vendeta to ruin your 
ride. I didn't mean to imply that the product was a joke. Only that it is so 
bothersome to loose a shoe and want to get on with the ride. We have a 
tendency to loose focus on the fact that maybe we need to slow down that 
there is nothing on the trail that is gonna change from point A to point B. 
If you take it personal Humor is the best form of flatery. Or as mom said to 
me If they didn't tease you they wouldn't like you.
Carla
