For hiking boots. Which I can wear... hiking.
Well, I wear my hiking boots about every day (when it isn't unbearably hot), so that wouldn't seem unthinkable to me in that circumstance.

But, your point still stands.

However, I have more important (in my mind) financial goals. Number one right now is getting enough money to fly out to DC for the Revolution March in July (required: $400+; I make: $10/hr).
