Iz boots...

Crisis in the Izdom of Iz. The pride and joy of Iznibz's feet, iz size thirteen Argyll wellies, are failing after not six months of active use. It has to be a manufacturing fault. The seams don't overlap, the boot is being held together by the fabric lining at the moment. The crisis comes as a result of they being my only footwear. Unwaged but fully immersed in my work, I wasn't planning on taking time out to hustle for replacement kit. On a bad day they look like they'ed out live me, at the very least they should have lasted the life of the job. I don't believe the wearing out (breaking down) iz caused by my working uncommonly hard, I have always worked uncommonly hard,quite a large proportion of the time in wellington boots. Argylls wuz famous for "doing the do", Like Iznibz duz, with little complaint from the inland navigators. Chance that I can get them replaced without the formality of sending them back, they may not be waterproof now but the soles are still valued protection against shards of schist rock.
I have taken a photo that seems (?) to illustrate well the point of complaint.I just can't afford to be without working feet for the week or so that it would take for a replacement to be returned. My dilemna.It looks painful for me no matter what I do, by standard procedure. The discomfort, the nuisance and expense, not to say the disappointment after much product loyalty,will have to be borne by me.I hope the Hunter Boot Company will exercise a little humane initiative on this one, damage limitation being the object.
This was to be a combination of stone journey news, they are moving, earthworks progress and a vegged out praise singing of the seasons bounty so far in the garden.
I will do a bit more outside first. Oh Luck, It is raining, quite heavily too.Leaking wellies iz a most insecure feeling. I'll be coming in soon then.
A man, reluctant to work iz easily prejudged to be lazy, few would think to blame iz wellies. I'm resolved to return to barefoot gardening once the heavy work iz done.
