market friday - these boots are made for walking

With autumn just around the corner, it was time to look for new hiking boots. The sneakers are ok for the summer, but not for the wet season. So off to the nearest shopping center and into the sports shop.

As today is friday, I dedicate this posting to @dswigle and her great #marketfriday, wich is always a litte holiday feeling for me seeing all those markets around the world.

This shop has painted a huge racetrack on the floor. I think the whole thing looks rather impersonal and very empty. But that's probably a matter of taste. Someone else may find it brilliant.
Maybe they use it for people testing new skaters or bicycles, but this time nobody used it.

The corner with the hiking and trekking shoes, and there " HE " was. My absolute favourite hiking shoe ever ever:

In fact, I've had this model before. And it has served me for a very long time, good 10 years. I probably made a million steps with it, until he got too old.
The fact that the austrian Company LOWA still has the "Renegade Models" in its range after so many years speaks for the quality. ;-) and I get nothing payed for writing this.

But unfortunately, with his 200, - EUR he is out of the race for this year. And a few steps further I found this shoe, lower price segment for 79,-

I liked it, tried it right away on and wandered around in the sport shop

Hm, I saw these nice sweatshirts on the wall, so pretty, but unfortunately I didn't like the material

Super nice drink bottles, but I already have 2 other models at home

After taking some fun pictures I decided to buy these shoes, because even after walking a while they still were comfortable to me.

Surprise, at the checkout they had such spinners to take away freely. Since I always wanted to know what sense it actually had, one came into the shoebox

After a short stop at the supermarket for normal weekend shopping, went home. And here are the most important utensils for the coming weekend :-)

As always, I hope you enjoyed and wish you a nice weekend :-) B.

I am not sure if it is necessary to mention, but all this could be interpreted as advertising, so I would like to emphasize that I do not get money or any other advantage from the mentioned companies to tell about their products.
