Takin' a hike! 


I'm changing from my work shoes to my trusted hiking boots and taking a hike for a few days... those darling hiking boots look a little bit worse for the wear but they have carried me around Iceland (and abroad) for twenty years now... I think I'll let them take this last hike before I "update" :o)

C'ya!

Just HAD to add Nancy Sinatra to the equation ;o)


Discover Nancy Sinatra!

Hehe yes, at home I'm "jeans, hoodie and sneakers" but at work I'm "black trousers, white blouse and high healed shoes" ... two totally different persons! :o)

John says:
Are you leading us to believe you only have 2 pairs of shoes? :-))

Nice new deck by the way.

Pixiepro replies:
LOL, yes only two pairs of shoes... no, three! I forgot my Puma sneakers... oops no, four! I also forgot my fake Crocks :D

Thank you John, I love my deck :o)

JJ Fanagh says:
I somehow get the feeling that these two pairs of shoes tell us almost as much about you (a portrait of sorts) as some of your other self-portraits. Pretty expressive Begga. I feel that I know you a little better now. Although, hey, I can see a couple more good years left in those boots yet, don't you? They are just starting to get comfortable! 8-}

Pixiepro replies:
I think there are many years left in them yet... I just have to pamper them a little for the next hike :D Thank you JJ :o)

Those boots look like old friends !!! Sometimes there is nothing better than a well-fitting pair of shoes. It takes a long time to break-in a new pair!! :-D Safe journey, my friend... :-)

Thank you Nigel, those are old friends... they've been with me through good and bad for twenty years :o)

but i can understand not the best to climb a glacier...

Pixiepro replies:
I'll be posting something soon, now that I'm back :o) ... and no, the left ones are not good for climbing a mountain or wading glacier fed rivers :o)

ætli smá leðurfeiti gæti ekki verið þeim holl :)
Posted 16 months ago. ( permalink )
Pixiepro replies:
Eeeehhhh jú, þessar elskur drekka í sig feitina þegar ég ber á þá... þarf að bera ca. milljón sinnum á þá held ég... og fara með þá til skósmiðs og athuga hvort hann getur lappað eitthvað upp á tærnar (á skónum sem sagt) ;o)

Gudrunpro replies:
Nú, þú getur náttúrlega farið til tásusérfræðings og látið stytta þær aðeins, það minnkar álagið á þetta gamla lúna par.

Flott mynd! Þetta eru náttúrulega scarpa leðurskór! Begga þú verður að setja leðurfeiti á þá :-)
Posted 16 months ago. ( permalink / translate )
Pixiepro replies:
Hehe... já ég veit, ég keypti feiti fyrir þá hjá skósmiðnum hérna, þeir drekka og drekka í sig og líta svo ennþá svona út... þarf kannski bara að bera oftar á þá. Svo tími ég eiginlega ekki að fá mér nýja, búnir að fylgja mér í tuttugu ár!, fer kannski bara með þessa til skósmiðsins og bið hann að flikka aðeins upp á þá :o)

Oddur Jonssonpro says:
Mér datt nú dúkkuskór í hug þegar ég sá myndina, virðast alveg pínulitlir. Svo er skemmtileg uppstillingin á skónum í nótunum, voða sakleysislegt og sætt ;o)
Posted 16 months ago. ( permalink )
Pixiepro replies:
Það er vegna þess að ég er svo dúkkuleg og saklaus og sæt... múhahahahaha! ... þetta var djók! :o)

Og skórnir eru nú frekar litlir já, ég nota stærð 35-37, merkilegt að ég skuli geta druslast yfir jökulár á þessum stubbum ;o) Takk Oddur...

I prefer the right ones,because surely much more comfortable ;O) But on a wedding party it will be better to wear the left ones.But if you have a long skirt which is long enough...

Yes, if the skirt is long enough I could wear my hiking boots to a wedding party... but I never wear a long skirt... :o)

Hehe... yes, I don't think I would get far wearing the white ones to a hike through lava... and I don't think my superiors would like it if I wore my boots to work! Thank you mo :o)
