My Father’s work boots

If you ever see my father between Monday and Friday without his boots you are really very lucky. That moment could be compared with the Comet Halley passing through the solar system, you should consider it a memorable moment in your life. He wears them every single week and every single day from Monday to Friday, even on summer vacations on the beach, well not really. He wears those boots that are for heavy duty work, even when his work dos not require a heavy duty work, well maybe, but not “THAT” heavy-duty work that those boots reflect. They are not an ugly pair of boots; they are dark brown leather boots, sometimes you could see mud in the boots because of the places he goes with them. Something that I’m sure is that he had never changed the boots brand, Red Wings Boots, he could surely get a discount from the brand because of the years of loyalty to the same brand. He had been with those boots since I was thirteen years old, sometimes my brother and I used to play with them, we wore the boots and his clothes and we started acting like him, my father just laughed at us with my mother. I really remember that before those boots he had another pair that were exactly the same style, maybe if I had not been with him when he bought them I would never realize that he changed them for a new one pair. Maybe he had done that, maybe he had bought another pair of the same boots before so that is the reason that they last that long, I would not be surprised about it. I think my mother don’t like those boots anymore, sometimes I think she is tired of them, maybe sometimes she wanted to throw them away so she could buy him a different pair of boots, but I think my father would be very angry if he realizes that his boots aren’t in the same spot he put them in his closet, that’s right, he had a special place in the closet for his precious pair of boots right beside de door. I think he assigned that place for his boots because of the daily use he gave to them, maybe that make it easier than looking for them every morning every day. After all, I think they are a nice pair of boots, maybe one day I bought a pair for me.
