178: Crusty, Trusty & Rusty

I will not apologise for the condition of my old boots; they are fifteen years old and well used. I took a very similar photo a couple of years ago, but have revisited it here as the previous photo had somewhat inferior colour and detail.
The laces shown here are the second pair, and will probably outlast the boot by now.
